I often peruse the classifieds and am quite astounded by some of the adverts, bad spelling, out of focus photographs - some taken in the dead of night, lack of information. Obviously this is the vendors decision, but is there any control over the classifieds at all? Apart from removing scams, etc?

Only tonight i've found this

Are the Tram and small child free with the Pajero??!

I appreciate a private seller can advertise for free, but some of the ads are just absymal and not worthy of their place.

I've removed the pics pending the advertiser realising.

The ads undergo some automatic screening but something such as you pointed out wouldn't be picked up.
