Check out the rules/etc. On how Craigslist runs their classifieds.
Some things that come to mind
1. Have the ads expire after 30 days or some time frame. This is more
of a software thing. Keeps the ads relevant.
2.Limit to equipment. No services.
3.Require certain things such as price, location, and terms.
4.Resellers should not be allowed to post

Glenn,
I would appreciate the help. I am concerned about setting up a rule set as
well. It would help if someone could research some other classified ad
sites and their rules and come up with a document that will work in the WISP
industry. Then it should go to the [email protected] email address for
approval. This is entirely a test, the Board has not approved it yet. So,
we need to establish the classified rules and clean up the format and most
of all, make it low overhead from a labor perspective. I know the widget
has payment options, but I turned those off. Longer term, it might be nice
if a certain percentage of each sale was given to WISPA to help our efforts
and stimulate the income side of our budget.
Rick
