The amount of “For Sale” Threads on Chockstone ... 20-Dec-2010 At 10:16:13 AM rightarmbad

I'd be happy for the for sale section posts not to be displayed on the list of latest posts o the front page.
Not being Victorian, I come in by the front page as it gives me an easy index to the newest posts to go check the ones I am interested in.
A lot of the threads on here have no meaning to me so I generally skip them, and that is easiest to by coming in the front page.

It's just continually annoying to see the half of the new unread posts on the front page as 'buy my crap'.
Looks more like a ebay than chocky.

I'm happy that there is a for sale section, just not on the front page with continual 'offers' from the same old people all the time.

Maybe I should come in by the forum front page, but then I have to trawl through each content category and it just takes a lot more time.

It doesn't bother me the amount of times I see a genuine climber sell items they no longer use, there just isn't that many of them anyways.
It's just the continual bombardment of crap that has appeared lately.
And only then because it is on the front page and therefore takes up to half of the new posts presented to me.

How about splitting the 'for sale' in two.
'Genuine second hand not needed stuff' and 'profit seeking morons'.
The morons don't appear on the updated post lists on the front page.
