I know it's customary for people starting a benefit auction thread for another member to post it in the General Discussion Forum where it presumably will get the most attention.
I think it would be a better idea if those threads were posted in the For Sale section simply because we now have the extremely valuable Member Feedback Rating system in place. (Though it's not exactly the easiest to use until you get the hang of it, it can be a great source of information about fellow members if everyone participates.)
If winning bidders and donating parties are able to leave feedback for each other, it might help eliminate the lack of follow through and unnecessary or non-productive commentary that is sadly becoming commonplace lately in the last couple of auctions. After all, they ARE sale transactions albeit of a little different sort.
Just a thought ... :-D
