That's what that new post button is good for. I don't necessarily like the ad bombing but I like to buy and sell parts here and it it a huge part of this very successful forum.

It's very aggravating, but nobody's ever gonna do anything about it.
 
What are you talking about?

Read the post. Self explanatory. You come on here this morning, you hit the "new posts" button and get FIVE PAGES of parts for sale.

Can't "we" spread these out maybe post/ bump them over several days? Christ

It may be self-explanatory to you however I never saw any of that crap.

I think you need to check your settings.

listing a car being parted out bolt by bolt will do that. Need to combine items in one thread.

It makes other sellers not want to bother here because their items are getting bumped 1-2 whole pages even within the specific For Sale forum catagory

Thing is... most of the stuff listed is so completely overpriced and will never sell. Just like bbrown’s stuff that hasn’t sold in years.

Plus, if you're not a gold member, you're not supposed to bump your ads. PERIOD. So with all this carpet bombing, a non gold member's ad get buried.

They are Gold Members carpet bombing all the ads. And there are other Gold Member ads getting pushed way back too.

And there are Gold Member buyers that have a tougher time finding parts with the ads all clogged up.
 
I don't have any problem with guys selling parts. Just don't post them all in one morning. If you have enough ads to fill 5 pages of posts then you can easily take the time to spread them over 5 days. That way they will all still show up in the "for sale" section, but won't spam the "new posts" with a huge list.

Maybe the admin could limit ad posting or bumping to "5 per day" to pull a figure out of the sky
 
Could of listed all that in like 1 ad.

Lol

Exactly. Same guy is on the Facebook Barracuda Owners Group (BOG) and doing the same thing. Sure people post Barracuda parts for sale on BOG, but it’s not intended to be a full on 100% Parts For Sale Group.

Hardly anyone has replied to the ads there. And he’s telling people there he won’t reply on Facebook, just go the links he list for his for sale ads on FABO.

Joey owns the site and he is the only one that can change policy. You need to invite him here for the discussion. This thread should have been started in website suggestions and he would probably get a notification about the thread.
 
Its EZ....just put him on ignore. Done deal. I just did (for lack of interest on a 68 Barracuda part out) and all his posts vanished. Whole classified screen is now 3 new posts......Voila

Let me explain the other side of your argument. I try and list everything in bunches, why? I only bump my ads close to 30 days as possible and I’ll mark my calendar next month a couple days before a month to remind me to bump them. If I had to do 5 today 5 tomorrow 5 next week, there is no way I could keep up with remembering to bump them. I have forgotten by a day or two and lost all my ads and had to repost! I agree on not bumping ads every 3 days.
 
I do see what your talking about. It is aggregating. Kinda sucks when you see a new member doing it. But that’s the world we live in. It’s all about me world.

Yes. It’s hard to make rules for bad taste.

Usually end up hurting innocent people on both sides of an issue just trying to manage the actions of a very few people.
 
if I visit fabo and see all that ****, I just close the tab for a few hours and come back while they are refueling and loading up for the next drop
