Alright, so looking at a few threads tonight I got an idea on how to clean up the classifieds section and make it much easier to browse, search, etc. All FS threads should lock automatically upon posting so they do not get cluttered with complete BS. The OP will still have the option to edit it and make posts themselves in the thread, much like the blogs section, but no one else can respond. The OP can "bump" once a day so it would take 19 days for the thread to reach two pages. All questions could be PM'ed and all issues can be discussed via PMs. If the OP needs to be adjusted because of questions that were asked via PM, then the OP can still update it as well.
This would make the classifieds section much easier to monitor. Not only that, but it would make them much easier to read. I was looking through some threads tonight, and I found one that was 8 pages of "bump, ttt, omg I love this car..." 8 pages of that, and Im sure somewhere in there there was useful information about the car. Someone shouldnt have to read 8 pages of "bump" to find one or two useful posts about the car.
The only thing that could make it better is if there was a bump button or something that you can press to bump the thread to the top... But since I dont think that exists, the OP could bump the thread once a day, but no one else could post up, thus creating less clutter in the thread.
What do you think?
