Can there be a rule that all wanted ads appear in another section instead of the classifieds for the relevant vehicles. One company even puts 2 under one another, whats the point??

There is a general rule that wanted ads go into the relevant wanted section for that make of car and if an advertiser tries to submit it into the wrong section a filter picks it up. As we don't approve every advert on the site due to the volume some do slip through the filter, so if you feel they are in the wrong section then please use the Report function at the top right of an advert.

Hope that helps.

This problem is getting worse every day,some traders have 4 or 5 wanted ads in the same section ie corolla,makes it a flippin pain to go through. I always report them but next day they are there again! cant these people be warned to stopo doing it? its gettin beyond a joke in some sections with the first 6 ads all wanted or parts etc....

We will look into this again to identify any traders who are going over the top on wanted adverts.

Shall we continue to report them to the administrator when they appear then? I thought this would be picked up when the advert goes for approval?

Not every advert goes for approval, which is how some slip through. Please do report any you see so we can deal with them as soon as possible.

This is prime example, 2 ads from the same company in the same section;

Maybe give them a 2 strikes you're out policy as its bloody annoying to have them in there.

We have to take each trader on a case by case basis, but we will look into this one.
