Cars for sale section

[carpy]

Ive been on the lookout for a decent S4 for a while now, and it's really started to annoy me now how difficult it is to find cars in the for sale section.

I have to wade through dozens of posts advertising everything from Nintendos to Watches before I can locate an actual car.

The amount of stuff being advertised means that cars which are up for sale get bumped off the first page within a days or so. I have to scan through about 20 pages to find several cars which are for sale.

It's a nightmare. Can't it be arranged in a better way such as having a section for CARS and another for everything else?

I know that when I do buy a S4 - if I ever come to sell it I'd be pretty wound up that it kept getting bumped off the first pages into oblivion because people keep advertising bracelets or watches etc. What's that got to do with the RS246 forum anyway!!!

Just to illustrate my point a bit further, here's what I have to wade through in the classifieds tonight. There are even "wanted" adverts mixed in there too although some aren't titled "wanted" so you think they are for sale. To be honest, I didn't even spot the Black RS4 for sale until just now when I was preparing the list below. It just got totally lost in all the other stuff for sale.

What a mess! Can't we do something about it?

Not a bad idea carpy, but remember invariably ever car that is advertised on RS246.com is also on Pistonheads, or the other way about

Oh yeah I'm always hunting on PH too, but would be pretty easy to seperate cars from all the other chintz that gets sold on here!

We have tried to seperate the tat from the cars, but at present have limited space on the server, when we fire up the new server and software after new year, we should have some more flexibility to devide the two, personally, I dont want to see anything else but car related stuff here but its the users who post and not our place to limit whats advertised unless it is commercial or iffy.

So what stops someone posting non car stuff for sale in a car section because it gets more views? Oh, I know the Crew come along, move it, and then get slammed for being little Hitlers.

As the person who has to make all this site work, I can tell you now that there is no miracle software cure for the lack of common sense of some of the members.

Now if we charged for each advert, maybe that would get rid of the cr@p and make if worthwhile?
