When you are buying something you shouldn't have to post a picture, but during selling and trading I agree that people should post pictures of their gear.

it makes everything so much easier for everyone when you post pictures of whatever you are selling. its a waste of space till you get them up. just wait like a day or whenever you have to to get pics up

Unfortunately as long as people respond to those thread and buy from people they will keep posting them. If a person receives zero response on a poor thread then they will be forced to smarten up and do things properly. Remember every time you post in a thread you are effectively bumping it for them. Considering the BST threads are usually off the front page in 3-5hrs of no response, just nobody post and it will go away.

ive been saying this for a long time. due to the increasing popularity of the BST forum, an official guidline for posting a thread needs to be put in place, and if its not followed it should be removed. As mentioned, sales get off the front page so fast these days, and its so shitty when the front page is filled with bullshit threads. Its so frusterating as a seller specifically, as well as for a buyer when they open a thread and its a waste of time. Pictures should be a neccessity for posting, its so easy now to just take a picture and post it.

There should be some type of a template that automatically pops up when makinga  thread in the B/S/T Forum. It would making it much easier and more efficent.

ive said it before ill say it again. instant delete with out COMPETENT (not black cell phone shots) pics, description, and a ballpark price. B/S/T needs to be locked down, i have a feeling it would cut down on the scams

We have talked about a formatted/searchable classifieds section before, basically what this is asking for, and everyone hated the idea

Unfortunately we don't have the time to go through every thread posted in BST to ensure it meets some basic standards, and then again those are somewhat dependent on the sale itself, so we'd end up with just a ton of bitching from everyone who thinks a thread is or isn't legit.

We try to post guides on how to make a decent BST post, we try to encourage people to do it right, but in the end members will keep posting shitty threads. Again its up to you guys to basically ignore a crappy sale and let the poster know that without legit information you will not buy from them.

Exactly.

Ignore the bad sale threads, if they don't sell, the seller will catch on.

Not bannable, but if there's no pics, and the thread creator refuses to provide, delete the thread.
