The volume over there is part of what necessitates the rules, since many are there strictly for the classifieds.
Common courtesy and respect should be enough to moderate such a forum to function properly. Sadly, I don't think this is the direction our society, in general, is headed. We, for the most part, self regulate these boards, as it is OUR community.
The S-B classifieds board is lacking in volume, compared to what I would like to see. More listings would result in more traffic and views. That is a double edged sword as it may attract an unwanted demographic that really doesn't share an interest in the basis of this community, ie. striper fishing.
So a few guidelines might be worth posting. Price, how to legitimize an offer to buy, whether to allow listing elsewhere (I am against making it an exclusive listing) I just don't want to see the need for a classifieds gestapo to impose said rules.....
