Rules on Craiglist Link?
Posted by Rizbot on Thursday, November 24, 2011 1:38 PM

Hey everyone, I

 thought I read a post a while ago about posting things for sale being a no-no on the forums. I just wanted to check that I could post a Craigslist link here, just to spread the word about a couple kits i have for sale. Any trouble if it's just a head's-up? Any reply is appreciated. Thanks.

I think you'd still run afoul of the 'letter of the law'. Here is the rule in question:

5. Advertisements. If you would like to advertise a product that your commercial company manufactures, or if you are an individual private seller, you can buy a classified ad in the magazine or an ad on the Web site. This includes all buying, selling, and trading. Any posts that appear to be an advertisement or transaction will be deleted.

 

Reading that, I think you'd qualify as a private seller and your link to Craigslist would be in violation.

Of course, you could try. Worse case scenario, your thread gets deleted.

'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing' - Edmund Burke (1770 ??)

I'd rather the forums not be cluttered up with permanent threads to things being sold years ago.
