HELP POSTING
TIPS & THINGS TO KNOW
- Conduct: Everyone is expected to be civil and respectful. No posting with multiple names, use one name only at this site.
- Passwords/Deleting Posts: Please use a password when posting so you can delete your post. Use the "Delete This Post" button below your post when viewing in "Threaded" format (this site's default). Keep in mind you can not delete posts in "View Expanded" or "Compressed" format.
- Blind E-Mail: E-mail entered in the "Your E-Mail Address" field, will not be visible in your post. We use a blind form for users to send you a message. However, we encourage you to list an e-mail address in the post body for people to see.
- Post Expiration: Posts will expire after 90 days. However, please delete your own posts when they becomes outdated or reposted.
- Selling:
- Be organized with your list of items for sale and try to provide prices for best results.
- Avoid posting multiple ads with only one or a few items or lots by listing as many items as you can in each post.
- Avoid typing in ALL CAPS!!
- If you must repost an ad, please limit the frequency.
- Post Response:
- Buyers: Feel free to post a response to an ad if you have a question you think other people would like to see answered. This saves sellers time by allowing them to post a public reply instead answering the same questions more than once via e-mail.
- Sellers: Feel free to post follow-up comments to your own ads.
- Job Postings:
- Hiring: With the exception of work for charities or non-profits, only post "Hiring" ads that initially pay.
- Hunting: Post a "Services" ad only if you are a professional freelancer or studio. Those unpublished, find work via "Hiring" posts.
- Auto-Linking: Any URL and e-mail address typed into a post will automatically become a link.
- Set Preferences: The "Set Preferences" link can be used to set how the system displays this site and remembers who you are.
