...or we can just leave it the way it is now and not make the mods check even more useless crap.
If someone isn't answering PMs, what makes you guys think they'll get right back to you via email? Seriously.
If someone wants to sell something, it is in their best interest to check in once in a while, and to set their PM inbox to send an email when a new message is received. If a seller is too stupid or lazy to do that, do you really want to do business with him?
Also, I'm sure nobody here has a junk email account that they use when some place makes them give an email address when they sign up for something, right?
With that said, does anybody want to think up a method for us to make sure their email address is good, and that they check their mail? Oooh, oooh! How about, the mods take turns sending them emails, then time their responses. If they don't get back within two hours, we get rid of the ad! Yeah, that's it!
It'll be lots of work for the mods to check every poster's profile for an email address. In the end, there's no way to
make them get back to you.
You guys sound like the people that propose gun laws. Think it through folks.
If somebody says, "It might not help, but it can't hurt" I'll ban you. I swear I will.
