There is a different climate here, now, than the time in which lilricky is recalling. In that time the collective community would have not stood for it. I'm not sure why that isn't the case now. Perhaps a nudge in the right direction by those that hold the keys to the shop would help.
Look up before you hook up!!

I am having an issue posting a new 'for sale' thread. Can someone help me to find the 'post new thread' link, it is not present for me. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Just an out of shape middle aged guy who loves doing outdoor things with his great kids...

Hi Flatliner the rules for the HF FS forum have changed please check these threads out?

Another good question came to me via a PM today so thought I would post the responses.
Q) Why does a Mod keep asking me if my item is still available when I have clearly not closed/moved or said the item is sold in the thread?
A) Many times an individual will sell the item on another location but forget to close the thread on HF. The Mods will "ping" the seller every week or so to ensure the items in the FS section are current. If you don't want this to happen, then bump your thread ever week or so to let others know you are watching for a buyer to post.

If something is for sale, is it kosher to PM a lower offer? All I found were rules about an "I'll take it" option, but maybe I missed something.
Yes, PM's between members of HF are not limited. But, even if you agree via PM, you must post I'll take it in the thread. If someone posts I'll take it before you do, then they would be entitled to the item.

Does anyone else think the F/S rules are getting a little winded? Curious.
No, the rules are to help keep things sane. Its a natural progression from increased numbers of people. Yes, a change to increased regulation, but not an unexpected one if you ask me.

Considering the new rules on commentary, would/could you be so inclined to allow a wee bit of leeway for others to chime in to call a spade a spade? I'm assuming probably not, but thought I'd ask. I guess that could be done through a new thread not in the FS forum? However detached that might me, it might raise enough concern to get the wanted effect.
