How is everyone adjusting to the disabling of classified ad replies? Is everything working out okay? I'd love to hear feedback from both sellers and buyers. Lay it on me!

I made some constructive and it was deleted.
i wish we could ask questions, or if someone doesnt know how to post pics, i would like to be able to post them for them.
Yeah I think we should be able to post there too. 
+1 for spike and candy
If someone doesn't know how to post photos we can link them to the tutorial thread. This is the only equitable way to display ads without policing the classifieds section.
what if someone posts a picture of a sulcata tortoise, claims it to be female, but looks like male. should there be a way to inform perspective buyers of this inaccuracy?

its a PUBLIC forum... the things that should be censored are bad words, racist statements, threatening words and things of that sort...
ok, so how would you PM perspective buyers of this fictional ad...
" very large sulcata for sale. It is a female. It weighs a ton. Please call me at 555-555-5555. Asking $300 cash pick up only. "
if someone places that ad, how can we warn people to insure it is a female.
this is just one of many reasons why replies are absolutely critical to ensure a safe and fair transaction occurs.
if TFO is willing to have a For Sale section, then TFO needs to provide the means to provide the most accurate information possible to protect the buyer.
This isn't a debate thread. The current policy shall remain. What I AM interested in hearing about is real feedback - not hypotheticals. Anyone?
You are correct Josh!
When someone lists a tortoise for sale.. I doubt they are interested in anything other than from potential buyers. The ads are for business purposes ONLY.

ya i like it the new way
I've got to agree. This is much more in line with how a lot of other online classifieds-type sections are run. The seller lists the ad and buyers contact him/her directly. I don't see anything wrong with the change.
If the buyer makes the mistake of not checking or of not getting all the details for him/herself then that's their mistake. If however a buyer is being purposely misleading in the ad (saying it's a female when it's obviously a male for instance) then what though? Does TFO turn a blind eye to it?

Hi there, well I posted an ad for a RF and got no responses!! Maybe it was because of the new policy??? It could be.... Na
Well, I just looked at the thread: tortoises in socal shelters, all desert tortoises? and there are 17 replies and most of them are just people talking about desert tortoises in shelters. If it's been disabled, why are people able to respond?
Yvonne, that's because it's an adoption thread.
Yes, but its a sub-forum under the for sale section. The rules don't apply?
Nay, does it show how many Views you got? If someone was really interested in what you have.. they would find a way to contact you.. PM, email.. new posting.. etc..
We will survive this new rule..
