Automatically lock threads without a posted price. People don't bother to read the rules so they shouldn't be allowed to sell.

It would be nice to have the prefix "Ebay" for all ebay auctions and FA for any other auctions.

Perhaps split FS: Hardware and FS: Software into two forums. Would make skimming the topics a bit easier, and would also keep items for sale on page 1 longer, giving them a bit more life and maybe result in fewer bumps.

Then again I don't feel very strongly about this. But I do like the previous two suggestions. Also drop the hammer on Feelers (tho I'm guilty of one right now). Either sell something or don't. It's not worth the time or the space to respond to a possible sale.

If you want to split FS: Hardware and FS: Software, why not split Feelers into a third category. That way you can police the FS forums more strictly. Just a thought, and those who really don't like the feeler stuff don't have to read it at all. Or call it "Marketplace discussion" so that all the FS forums can be right on topic. Kinda like the LEM-Swap list and the LEM-Swap Chat list.

Thats my two cents, hope it helps.

No chance of that happening.

Separate "For Sale" from "Wanted" requests in a different forum.

This forum isn't getting split, so you can stop asking.
