Faux Classifieds in Reg Forum

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
As a person who supports AVS by buying a club membership, I get a little ticked when I see members telling ppl to PM them if they are interested in buying X from them or their friends. It makes the reg forum nothing more than a classified area and takes away the value of a club membership. Here is an example. This second post in this thread

Hi...

Thanks for the notes on the member. We have removed his posts and suspended him for 24 hours with a warning. We do take action when such posts are reported via the REPORT POST option.

Thanks

Thanks David. I did that yesterday with no response...which is unusual....but I have found both the Accessories and Constuction forums to get slow response when report post is used. I assume mods are focused in higher traffic areas?

Yes...some areas are more of an "issue" I am sorry to say. We also have few mods in the areas you mention vs some others.

Dave: I do and no action is taken. There is another in same forum selling green glue. It's disheartening when those of us support AVS through our memberships, yet mods do not take timely action in the case of some forums. (dedicated construction area report posts get little attention)

I reported this thread and hours later it's still active with selling going on. Members have an obligation to know the rules...what are the consequences for posting classifieds in reg forum without paying for an AVS club membership?
