Classifieds Moderators?

What's the chance of getting some vigilant moderators for the Classifieds section? Seems like alot of posting without prices, no locations, auction type ads, Ebay links w/ no "buy it now" option, multiple threads by same user, TTT abuse, people ruining threads with negative comments, etc. I go through the classifieds everyday so I don't miss anything and it's a shame to see it go to **** so fast. Thanks,

Larry

Edit: Just to be sure this post isn't misinterpreted, I do not want to be a Mod, lol.

That's the problem: nobody else wants to mod those sections either....

I was a mod at a BMW site I used to hang out on. It takes a lot of tact to know how to handle people and try to calm down potentialy explosive situations. You also don't make any friends as a mod. I was happy to help out though as I would be to help out on any site I spend a lot of time on. These things don't run themselves.

Hell...I practically LIVE here.

One of the staff stepped up and we are talking about adding one more . Myself and the other admins are trying really hard to get things fixed up. We got some big shoes to fill at this point...
