Leon:

Have you ever thought about designating a Mod that does nothing but "policing" the B/S/T? There are some things that cannot be policed, but at least if a post does not specify a few basics, it gets dumped and perhaps the poster with repeated disrepect for the rules is prohibited from posting in the B/S/T for a week or two. At a miimum every offer to sell should state:

1. method of payment accepted
2. an e-mail address
3. what has priority (posts within the thread or e-mails)
4. do first reponses, no matter if it is an response of acceptance or not, have priority or does the first "I'll take it!" have priority.

The list could go on.

Personally, I would never post an offer to sell a card without scans of the front and back, but my scanner sits right beside me. Some may have to go to Kinkos or get them done at work so I understand this probably shouldn't be a hard and fast rule.

Leon, you do a good job policing the B/S/T (that's not my point) but if we get a little stricter I just imagine it's not a job you would want. It may be a bit time consuming and besides let someone else deal with the bulls--t grief. After folks got the hang of it, it probably wouldn't be that much time since people would start falling in line with what is expected.

Just my thoughts.
