Does this open up the chance of relaxing the moderation/rules around mentioning a non-car related item being potentially for sale during thread discussions?

For instance those of us who frequent the watch forums would find it useful to be able to more freely discuss the selling of watches between other posters who we trust.

Either a dedicated ‘sales’ thread or just letting posters mention a certain item is for sale within the natural flow of thread and letting people talk via PM without their comments being removed?
Apologies for the delay here, I was off last week and just playing catch up. We're in the process of setting up new Marketplace forums for:
  • Motorbikes
  • Parts and plates
  • Non-motoring
While these categories were rarely used in the classifieds, we recognise there may be demand in the forums for members to sell amongst each other, so these forums will be launching soon.

With regards to the watch forum, I have no issue with having a single sticky thread at the top of the Watches forum for watches for sale/wanted in the same way we do for Le Mans/ Goodwood. As with these threads, we don't want posts spreading into other threads with people trying to promote something for sale. Happy to set this up – just let me know! thumbup
Sorry this response completely passed me by!

I found the non-motoring and the pinned watch thread organically anyway biggrin

Thanks Ben thumbup
