Getting back to the thread here folks...… I know what the mods and the owner said, but what do the members want? And what about the choice, allow or disallow comments by the OP?
Most, not all but most, comments in sale threads are not necessary. Many are like "those are a piece of garbage and I used this instead" or "I had one like that only it was green. Good luck with the sale" just to name a few. Yes like you mentioned in your original post, there can be some good information that may come out of comments but it is really tough to be judge and jury on what stays and what goes. This site and Joey's other sites are filled with information and I bet whatever is said in a sale thread has been discussed in a dozen or more other threads. Just use the search function. Something else you need to know, we moderators are pretty passionate about our jobs. We want the best for the site, the hobby, and it's members. We don't get paid but we spend dozens of hours a week (each of us) to make sure this place runs smoothly. We do it for your best interest. Joey has a few simple rules to follow for sellers and buyers. The ads are free and they reach a select group of like minded members and are a very sucessful part of the FABO community. We simply ask that you all just follow those simple rules to keep this place the best on the internet.
