DMM,
It's not the ad we have a problem with, just do what we all do; I'm selling a boat as well, I posted it once in the classifieds, once a month or so post a reply ON THE SAME POST and it will bump to the top.
When you post it five times, it makes it seem either:
A. you have one boat and dont listen to da boss man here.. (see ML's quote)
or
B. you are selling a bunch of boats, which makes you a dealer, and makes your posts Spam, as no commercial advertising is allowed..
post the boat thing once in classifieds, and start talking fishing with your other posts... and welcome to S-B.com!
