Trade adverts in classifieds

[Mattt]

Is it possible to tidy them up a bit? It's annoying having trade 'spam' adverts in sections e.g. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/182746.htm

That is by no means a rare occurance - or is this allowed, as they pay £££?

Can't see a prob with that ad Matt personally

looks like an advert for someone taking orders for a new car to me. whats the problem?

[Kinky]

As said above - plus you can search to exclude trade ads.

The main problem is that it isn't a Lotus Exige S1 - traders seem to take the piss with the sections all the time.

As a secondary point, it isn't an actual car - merely taking orders for one. I know I can order a 2-Eleven, I just have to pop to my local dealer.

On the front page of the Exige S1 section there are 2 ads from Hi-Torq wanting any Loti, and one Reg plate for sale.

Another example: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/283834.htm

Maybe it is just the Lotus section, but it seems to be a 50/50 mix of actual cars, then the rest wanted ads or private plates etc.

If you ever have a problem with an advert, whether it is trade or private, then just hit the "report to administrator" in the top right.

We will then look over the advert and deal with it as appropriate.

We tend to be slightly more leanient towards the traders as they are paying for their adverts but they do still have to keep to the rules, so report them and we will deal with them if it needs it.

With regard to that specific advert, we will create 2-eleven category shortly and then move it to its rightful home.
