Suggestion:
If a user has more  than a certain # of posts (200?, 1000?), do not require moderator approval for new posts in the black market.
It is annoying that by the time the post gets approved it is already half way down the page.
Or maybe when the moderator approves it, bump it to the top.
 
It's not a bad idea, but requires setting aside time to code to make that modification. These days that's been a little tough for me. :eek:
 
Why posts in the black market should require approval anyway?
Is it really neccessary?

Not being a smart-a$$, just asking  :)

I'm imagining its so people dont set up little ebay stores of their part lots and "vintage" stuff.  One can tell Ethan gives many people a chance but who knows what doesn't get through. I'd guess there must be at the very least weekly scam artists that try to post that get filtered out.
I appreciate it.
Keeps out the riff-raff.
I can go to ebay if I want riff raff.
 
I like that posts are approved, keeps things orderly.

My main pet peeve with the B.M. s ads with no location.

"Selling my 400 pound boat anchor, offers please" - Is it down the street or in Greenland?!

It would be amazing it users were forced to add a location to their profile to post to the B.M. or forced to add it to the listing at least.
