Moderators (requests and notices)

It's a hard one... we haven't had private forums in the mix before, I'm inclined to say it's OK so long as the adverts are maintained. That's primarily why the rule exists, because when it's just spammed everywhere they tend not to be maintained and lead to lots of dead adverts rather than active ones.

If someone convinced me that they'd maintain their advert even when they adjust the price elsewhere, provide more photos or sell it... I'd let it stay.

The rules are definitely aimed at stopping spam, and badly maintained adverts.
