TheSamba.com :: View topic - Watercooled parts in Aircooled classifieds sections

Sat Mar 13, 2010 2:44 pm

I just hate it when I have to stumble over the ads for watercooled JUNK in the aircooled sections. Lately, I've noticed one seller putting a lot of parts in the "General Parts" section. Apparently, he didn't see the rule that this section is for parts that don't fit other categories.
I sent the guy a message suggesting he use the "watercooled" section. His reply was that his parts are "general parts"

Can there be a rule that watercooled parts NOT be allowed in the "General Parts" section?

Of this sellers nearly 300 ads, 50 of them are in the General Parts section. Probably less than 10 of them might be able to fit an aircooled car.

you could put that particular seller on 'ignore'...

So, you spent the time to look at all of his ads, but you did not hit the report button??
That is why it is there.

Report it whenever you see it.

Yes, please report any classified ad, gallery photo, or forum post you think violates the site rules.

The administrators (Everett or I) review each report and deal with it as we feel appropriate. Even if we decide you are wrong, we still appreciate the assistance in keeping the site cleaned up. There is just too much activity each day to catch every single thing, even with a ton of hard working moderators helping.

Yes, this already is a rule, starting hitting report on these ads please.
