Chirsian and all:
The list policy is already clear. Policy#8 states - "Do not post -
major advertisement- emails to the list - use a 'sale' link". This
policy was later ammended on the list to require the word "AD" in the subject
line so that list members would be clear that the email contained an ad.
I think the problem arrose when some list members posted their ebay
auctions daily, spamming the list. For example one member in particular
would say........
"I have ebay auctions ending in 7 days" then "I have ebay auctions
ending in 6 days", then "I have ebay auctions ending in 5 days", etc
etc. You get the idea.
Members won't even quit fighting and using vulgar language on this
list which is a much much bigger problem than the occasional ebay ad
announcement.
As long as the word "AD" appears in the subject, I do not see a problem as
this allows all list members to decide for themselves if they wish to open an
"AD" email.
