Change to Classified for sale section - 7/5/23

[Cyclist]

Dearest RRB members, friends, and loyal rust enthusiasts. We wanted to announce a change to our classifieds section. Starting 7/5/23 you will need to be have a pro membership (subscription) in order to post for sale ads. This is in line with what our sister sites and many other places across the internet are doing. It is a direct support in order to bring revenue and keep the lights on for this place that we've all come to love. Existing ads will stay in place but those ads still need to adhere to rule number six as shown below. The amended classified rules are as such


Please adhere to the following rules when posting in any classifieds section to avoid having your posts deleted

YOU MUST BE A PRO MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST FOR SALE ADS

1. Include price, shipping details and your location in the title or description. No price will get your ad deleted
1a. We do not allow "make an offer". This does not replace the need to put a price on your products
2. For sale threads must include photos of actual item in post...no linking to other websites or auctions
3. Do not comment on seller's price. If the price is too high, the item won't sell and the seller is educated
4. Post no more than 5 separate FOR SALE or WANTED threads at any given time
4a. The staff reserves the right to automatically delete older threads if you are over the limit without warning. Repeatedly breaking this rule may lead to suspension or termination of classified privileges
5. No excessive "bumping" to keep your ad near the top. Once a week is more than sufficient
6. Mark item as "SOLD" when the item has sold. Mark the item as “WITHDRAWN” or “FOUND” etc… if other circumstances exist. DO NOT delete or cleanse the thread or ask staff to delete the ad
6a. If your item is sold or withdrawn and you no longer have the ability to edit the thread title prefix, PM a mod or admin to mark it as SOLD or WITHDRAWN, etc.
Members repeatedly failing to follow this step may have their classified privileges suspended or removed
7. RRB does not allow members to post links to their own Ebay, Craigslist or other sale website postings. That section is reserved for deals you stumble across and want to share with the rest of the population not for profiting. If you have items to sell then you need to become a pro member and post them in the correct sub forum
7a. Violation of this will result in privileges being revoked up to and including a temporary or permanent ban
