Could the "Classifieds" topics just be removed from Talk entirely?

Since there is an entire Classified tab on the top menu, could we have a separate message board for those topics please? Those being

  • For sale
  • Wanted
  • Childcare
  • Swap shop
  • Small business ads
  • Jobs

Especially if you take up Champs' suggestion of MN Swaps having it's own topic... then we wouldn't have to worry about having No Buying/Selling, No Swaps etc. It seems like the infrastructure is already there for it.

Sorry Tech

I think MNHQ should charge a fee - like they do for CAT - for people who want to use the Buying and Selling boards. There are definitely some posters effectively running small businesses for free!

I agree something has to be done about the selling/wanted threads as it is well out of hand & some of us can't keep our mouth shuts when people attck us

I ageee.

I also think it should be for regular talk members only (certain lentgh of time as a member or certain number of posts or both).

I prefer to buy/sell from/to regulars only anyway when I very occasionally look at this section.
