Classified Ads - pmh
Until very recently the majority of ads placed on this site were from well established forum members.

Recently I note that the adverts are starting to come from people who just register to post there "private"? ads.

Is there a Forum policy to promote the growth of passing browsers ie a good place to advertise, hence more clickthro's (more money for the site) or to remain a select site?

I have in the past bought (very happily) thro the classifieds and would again from an established member. Whilst this can never be a guarantee of quality, much can be gleaned from a contributors past posts.

Some sites have a policy that new members cannot advertise items for sale for a period of several months after joining in order to weed out the chancers. How do other people feel?

Sounds like a good idea
