For now... the only change is this:
Some extra items of information will appear alongside the user profile of the first post of a thread within the classifieds section.
A minor change. But the major decision is to decide against dogsballs idea. I don't agree with the view that to police classifieds we should remove the ability to the forum to constructively criticise or question in public anything. To me that goes the wrong way, and places an unnecessary burden on me to act on reported items, and takes us a step towards moderation and the site being a "published" entity rather than a "communications service".
I do like the idea of meta-data... such as "£ (or O.N.O)" and even things that help people search for things and get a better idea of what they're expecting.
I also like the idea of a more formalised dibs system. Something that is meaningful and provides notification and feedback to both seller and those interested... on an opt-in system by the seller of course.
However both of those ideas require coding, and the way that they need coding has a dependency on something else I'm thinking about for the reviews stuff... which means it's a big pile of code that can wait until I've coherently thought it all through.
