posting classified ads or other promotional materials on the list.

We have some of the most liberal rules of any Audi-related forum and
ask very little of those that choose to join our community.  One of
the is that you not post for-sale items or advertise on the lists- and
we give you another free resource as an alternative.  That alternative
is extremely popular and well utilized, receiving a few thousand
unique daily visitors.  This rule has stood for many years and has not
changed, despite our varying free time to enforce it. Darin and I see
eye-to-eye on this rule.

Anyone who violates the rules or feels it necessary to spit into the
wind may find their posts held for approval (most likely temporarily)
as well. I don't anticipate this being a regular occurrence.

I agree that the rule is unfortunate because it prevents
rare/interesting cars (we're talking Bring-A-Trailer rare/interesting)
from being brought to the attention of listers, though there is
nothing to stop the creative from posting classifieds ads for these
vehicles in the marketplace, or telling the owner/seller about the
marketplace.  I'm considering a list specifically for this sort of
purpose, since there is clearly interest.  I think the only way it
would work would be if it were moderated, since a lot of people coming
across Audifans would think that's where their A4 1.8 automatic
belongs because it's a rare mauve color.  It never ceases to amaze me
how many people email the marketplace list demanding to know why they
can't post to it :(

I'll run it past Dan and if he gives the go-ahead, I'll solicit
volunteers for moderating it, maybe 2-3 people.  Any suggestions on
names?
