Sticky for the Classified section

Many times a poster with something to sell will post up and never return or answer questions. Prospective buyers have no clue if an object is still available or not. There needs to be a sticky explaining to the sellers that they need to communicate if the item has been sold or not. Nothing more frustrating to a buyer than to post on an ad and never get an answer.

Sadly it is a difficult thing to control. We have no way of knowing if the poster is a genuine member or just someone that has found a way to free advertise. They are the close relation of the spammer in my view. We can only go through and trim off the older posts once in a while.
