    Default Multiple Classified Advertisements

    So this might not be a big deal to some, and I realise that it's not against the rules of the forums or anything, but I'm going to mention it anyway.

    It's rather annoying, when one person, posts multiple threads, in the same classifieds sub forum. For example, having seven consecutive ads in the 'Engines, Accessories and Drive lines For Sale". Is there any reason at all, why they can't be combined into something like "Smith's 1J/2J/1UZ bits for sale" or something. For each extra add, that's one extra person who has their add pushed onto the second page.

    Like I said, might not be a big deal, but it's just a tad frustrating to see.

    The Classified Rules
    rule number 11:

    If you have multiple items that fit into the same section, they should be grouped into one post for that section (I'm sure you wouldn't like it if your posts disappeared off the front page because someone else made 25 posts selling individual items). Items by the same seller that fit into different sections can be posted in their relevant sections. But no doubling up. We consider this Spamming.
    Use the report bad thread on each of the threads in question.

    And the reason you've stated is the reason why the rule was started.
    May also be an idea to post a link in their thread bringing to their attention the rule. We know how many people read these things nowadays

    Haha, clearly I should have read the rules a little more thoroughly myself...
