I was one of many that made suggestions on the dfw.forsale charter.
Some did not want a group charter, most were commercial posters that
did not care of their 300 repetitive posts each day clogged up the
newsgroup.

You say use filters to block the Ebay and commercial posts, good
suggestion in theory except the posters change their posts in order to
get pass filters and why should people using dfw.forsale properly have
to filter out posts that are not within the charter.

Anyone remember Marissa Jane from Cyber Exchange and her excessive
commercial posts?



When the section allowing for auction posts was discussed I was one of
several that suggested any type of auction posts should not be allowed
as it would only create the current problem of one persons
interptation being different from another persons.

Some posters read the for auction section of the charter and the faq
dealing with commercial auctions such as Ebay and decide it does not
apply to them and make Ebay posts.
Other posters do not bother to read the charter even though every
fourteen days it is posted in the group for all posters to read.

I for one would approve of a for auction only group so I could sit
back and watch them gripe when the amount of auction posts clog up the
group making downloading and reading of posts so slow most internet
providers would block the group.

Let them have their own group, take the for auction section out of
dfw.forsale and replace it with an estate sale only section, if the
estate was to be auctioned off then it would be posted in the auction
group.

This would stop all of the off topic discussion posts in dfw.forsale
currently going on.
