Perhaps this can be of some use. Rather than dealing with how to moderate the list, this relates to the actual mechanics of whatever marketing is permitted by the moderator's rules in effect:
Assuming the restrictions or lack of them relating to selling, as applicable, it would be helpful to distinguish between SALE and AD in the title.
SALE: Items being commercialized at seller determined preferential prices or exclusively (at first) to the list.
AD: Items being commercialized in general where listmembers don't have an edge, especially Ads on eBay, a commercial website, etc. (except a commercial website with a real sale exclusive to the list members).
This way, the benefit goes two ways for those dealing with sales, which theoretically benefits the the whole list. And ads are easy to sift through as some prefer. A little give and take on both sides could be a healthy business practice that might remove some rusty feelings? thoughts?
