firstly, i apologise in advance for the slightly moany post, but i think i am bringing up a relevant point.
the f/s section on here is now a lot more active than it used to be, which can only be a good thing. but recently there seems to be a bit of a derge of users (usually those with relatively low post counts i might add, but not exclusively so) who seem to think its acceptable to list 6 different items on 6 different threads one after the other rather than simply combining them into one post labelled 'various' or 'X, Y and Z for sale', like the more regular/curteous users seem to do.
i know this isnt technically against the rules, but it does seem rather bad form for people who don't use this site for anything other than making a few quid (in other worlds, they exclusively post in f/s and put nothing back into other areas of the forum) to monopolise the f/s area for their own benefit. personally, I'm a quite frequent poster in f/s, yet i try to keep to one or maybe two threads a month as i don't want to be seen to be hogging what is a very useful free service for everyone, plus i mae sure i put back in other places, tech, pony express, general etc. in 'exchange' for the service, as i see it.
so maybe it time to start peanalising people who do act in this way, rather than pedalling all their wares in one thread as the more sensible people do?
am i thinking along the same lines as everyone else here, or just being a grumpy old ©unt?
