Regulations of the GS (Garage Sale) Board - Updated!

[Ambrianna]

MyCoupons.com provides this board as a place to post items you have around your home, to sell or to trade. Trades and trading are your personal responsibility. Please negotiate your trades via email, not on this board.


The Garage Sale Board (GS) has some specific regulations in addition to the ROP. These must be followed in order to have a successful, free-flowing board.

Please review these before posting.

If your post is deleted, it will be because of one or more violations of these regulations. Please check here to correct your posting. The only way a successful trade board can work is with cooperation from everyone. Thank you for doing your part!



** This is a TRADE BOARD only! No sweepstakes, raffles, drawings, or the like.

**This board is for selling/trading items found around your home.

** There is to be no advertising. This includes MaryKay, Avon or any other independant consultants.

** No urls linking to your ebay auctions, auction feedback or anything of the like. Links to photo images are allowed as long as there is no advertising on the site.

** We will accept no trade posts on CRS or TOT or GS board from a member who is listed on Garnette Blanton's Bad Trader List.
If you are listed as a bad trader on Garnette Blanton's Bad Trader List - do not post trades here. Your post(s) will be deleted and you will not be notified. If you persist in posting, your membership will be banned from MyCoupons membership!

** There is never to be any posting about and/or toward another trader. Keep your opinions off this board, and between yourselves only.

ITEMS FOR TRADE

This is a Garage Sale Board. It is for trading and selling items around your home. Refund qualifiers and the such are posted on CRS only. NO OTHER ITEMS are to be traded at this board.

** This board is NOT for the purpose of listing just URLs to eBoards or homepages or just listing your email address. It is also not to be used for advertising your independant consultant wares such as: Avon, MaryKay, Tupperware and the likes.



**LISTING RULE:

We limit the number of items listed in your post to 30. This is the total number in your list - including both haves (H) and want (W). Any lists over 30 items will be edited and/or deleted. This regulation is purely because we have many, many people posting - and have to save time and space for all. For those with longer lists, please just ask others to email you for your longer list.

** There is a limit of 12 posts within ANY 24 hour period by any member. This includes both new posts and bumps totaled together.

~~~Example #1: You post 7 posts today~then you bump 5 of these posts within 24 hours. You have a total of 12 posts that have been at the top of the board within the last 24 hours.

~~~Example #2: You post 12 times today. You MUST wait 24 hours before bumping your original posts.

Bottom line is you may not have more than 12 posts at the top of the board within any 24 hour period!




** BUMPING RULE:

You may bump your post to the top of the board ONLY after 10 hours or more have passed since that post was brought to the top BY ANYONE! Any posts bumped earlier will be automatically deleted by the moderators, with no notification.

^^Example: You post your original trade at 7:00 AM (board time). Someone replies "I emailed you" at 10:00 AM (3 hours after you posted). You may not bump your post until 8:00 PM, or 10 hours after the last time the post was at the top of the boards. If no one has replied to your post that you posted at 7:00 AM, you may of course bump the post in 10 hours, which would be 5:00 PM.

** If you need to update your post, add an item or whatever, use the "edit" feature to do so. Posting a reply will bump your post to the top. If this is done before the 10 hour limitation, your post will be deleted.

**I thought I would point out to you that a "bump" is not necessarily just the word "bump" or a smiley! You may take advantage of your bump post by adding more items in your bump that you may have or want (not to exceed 30 in the bump either, the same as in your OP.) By using this method, more of your (H) Haves & (W) Want items may be viewed in one click.


** After 4 Bumps to a thread (by the OP member) --- please begin a new thread instead of bumping the same one. Long threads are difficult for some on slower ISP's to load. Any further bumps by the OP to the thread, will cause the thread to be closed without notice by the MCLeader.

**"No post can be duplicated in less than 10 hours. If you post a duplicate post in less than 10 hours, your latest posting will be deleted."


If you see something amiss or that needs attention, please do not hesitate to use the "Report" function and notify a moderator.
