Quite a few comments here eg posts #54, #56, #57, #65, #67 that spam on the 'for sale' and 'wanted' forums wasn't a problem.
Actually, what I wanted was some downtube levers for a bike that's I believe is popular among fixies. And maybe some front & rear mechs. And thought a good place to find them was where the folks that didn't want levers and gears hang out!
I'm involved and contribute in lots of real and virtual 'communities', so it's not meant to be insulting or negative that I really only want to do those limited things. And I'd have thought that a way to usefully pass on bits that were no longer wanted would be welcomed by fgss people.
So I completely agree you need to do a few things to prevent spammers, and a 24 hour delay is a good step. Maybe the 'for sale' and 'wanted' forums could then be available without making people post 3 times?
Cheers
