may i suggest for the mods to 'criminalize' the posting of ads with links to external sites for details on the sale. imo, its against the very essence of the post being in a forum. but more than that its pretty annoying - no different than the spam accounts spreading spam ads - cut and paste. it really bums me out to have to open another tab/window to go to another website because those who should understand that a forum is where people actually post are too lazy to do their part.

let them show a bit of respect to the forum and make them put in some effort if they want to sell their stuff.
even for photos, its not so hard to right click and copy image location and paste them between the . even porn gets boring if you are directed from one site after another (you know what im talking about). gas is induced when its there right in your face, specially if the photos are high res.
im not against those who use this site as a tool to sell their goods. hell, ive got so much to thank PM for all the stuff ive sold here. but putting up a sale for me should go beyond selling. there should also be some little learning involved in it, if not a lot. ive learned a lot researching about the item im selling as well as the items being sold around. imo, links are excusable only for references.
so lets not bastardize the forum by continuing on with this lazy practice.
i mean no disrespect to those who do or have done this. i just think theres more to this forum than a link to your sulit.com ad.
