    Just an idea - but when people put up multiple for sale listings, in the same for sale forum, within 24 hours, with no effort to follow the rules, maybe combine and lock the thread for 72 hours? So there's some teeth in it?
    (usually the listings are within minutes)
    There are some people that it's just not worth engaging.

    It's a muzzle BRAKE, not a muzzle break. Or is your muzzle tired?

      Rule #4

      When did they stop enforcing rule #4 in the marketplace?

      I mean, yeah, I get it, it sucks to have to delete people's posts and all, but it's absolutely egregious when a 24hour period is 8 pages of FS ads... with multiple users clogging up space with 3-8 posts for different items that could have been consolidated to one post...

      Culprit with 6 posts

      This guy with 7 posts

      4 posts today and another one from a few days ago

      this guy with 4 in handguns and 2 in long guns

      4 posts today

      3 today, 4 this week

      Yeah, I get it, you want the most exposure to sell your stuff but holy bandwidth batman! It especially sucks for the guys that are following the rules and have multiple firearms in one post.

      And you know what, some of these dudes don't even post anything else around here... nothing in the handguns forum, general discussion or even OT.

      Ok... /rant off

        Yeah - I reported a few here and there, but gave up. Gets tiresome combing though the ads, though....

          Detection and enforcement is still slow. (apologies)

          Per Rule #4, multiple ads are allowed if they were created 72+ hours apart.

            The problem is that you can only insert 10 pictures on a posting. Selling one rifle or gun really needs 5-6 pictures to get a persons interest.

            Increase the number of pictures allowed to 10 per posting would help

              Why not post 5-6 pics here, with a link to other pictures on imgur or similar?

                Keep rhe same rules, add a "capped at 3 total" per sub. IMO. 8 in one sub is too much and not in the spirit of the rules, whether 72 hrs apart or not.

                  You could get around that by stitching multiple pictures into one larger picture... so for example if you have three pictures that are 800x600 pixels, you'd go into Paint or Photoshop or GIMP or whatever image editing software you prefer, and stitch them all on top of each other, so you'd end up with ONE picture file that is 800x1800 pixels.

                      This has been happening for a long time. Not hard to find either. I haven't been in the market for anything lately but several months ago I recall seeing 5 or 6 for sale posts from same person all within minutes of each other. And not just one or two members. I just assumed the rules had changed because it was soooo blatant.
