alot of posts have useless chatter about things that dont pertain to the item for sale? or it goes back and forth about trivial stuff.  it gets aggrivating when i see something and have to read a crapload of posts to find out if its still avalible.

Boy Tom, did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning...:) Or did your dog peein your boot..:) Just kidding. Yes you are right about the excessive chatter in the classifieds. We try and curtail it the best we can but some folks are just persistant.

That's why we're not called the Yellow.  Less Classified police here.  By the way this is the "Classifieds" section and your post more correctly belongs in the "Back Room".  Guess we'll let that slide.  ;-)

I like the chatter when it is positive. Kinda tells me what everyone is thinking about what is on sale...

Sometimes the threads are pertinent but confusing. For example (and no flame intended), there's one selling a mixed lot of guns. I can't tell what's been sold, status of pm's, what's left, who got what, etc. Lots of what could be taken care of behind the scenes with a pm or two is put out front. The GTA classifieds is an easy going place and, thankfully, doesn't have a lot of traffic. I think that is why you can get away with it there. On the Yellow's, the stuff comes on so fast it would be clogging the screen in a hurry. The mods here do a pretty even-handed job of keeping things running smoothly.
