Title: Classifieds by MK
Post by: Jimmymature on 02 July 2011, 23:20

Can you have the classified split by GTI Mk? I trawl through loads of classifieds just to find the odd sale item that is for my MK.

You could have Mk1, Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, Mk5, Mk6 & cross platform?

Cheers,


Jim

This has been asked before.. and it could be done but would be a pain as it would take a lot of work to moderate being so many sections and sub sections..

1, state what mark
2, add a location etc details

Am I missing something? The classifieds already are split by Mk.

I get annoyed by this too, more chuffs point as that would be equally as easy!
Would it be worth me offering my name to try and enforce that properly?

The vehicle sales are split by MK but not the parts.  I think the easier it is to find what you want the quicker people will sell their stuff.


With regards to moderating, i don't think it would be tha big an issue as it's in everyones best interred to put it in the correct section or they don't make the sale.

That way the titles could be really specific if they were moderated.

Like... [Part][Mk/Model][First two letters of post code][Price]

So... [NSF Wing][Mk2 Golf][CT][£40]

Or something like that.

yeah right  :shocked: like thats ever going to happen,

at the end of the day

1, if people cant be arsed posting all the info they aint going to make the sale  :smiley:

2, if people cant be arsed spending an bit of time searching, they aint going to make a purchase  :rolleyes:

And without sounding NEGATIVE, this forum isnt MASSIVE so the amount of ads to search, even if you only come on once a week wont take you more than an hour,

JV has already revamped it to car component child boards, and MK boards for car, and has asked for CAR parts only and VAG only car sales

yet people still post up wine cooler and Vauxhall vans.

Next up,  bottom wiping by numbers.  :lipsrsealed:

I agree that it happens a lot, but just because people don't follow the rules is that a reason not to implement a better idea?


If they don't meet the criteria, the ad should be deleted! People soon get the message....
