I see the pros and cons of doing this, and respect you guys for the jobs you do. You will never please everyone.

But...it seems like it could also hurt peoples chances to buy/sell also. Other members can give info to someone about the product if the seller is not online.

Ex.
A couple months ago someone posted a bipod for sale. They were very vague in the description of what they were selling, even saying in the listing they were not sure of the brand. There were a few people inquiring about it with questions and the seller was slow giving them answers. I happen to have the same exact kind he was selling, so I thought I'd help him out by posting the info for him/her so the buyer could make his/her decision. For some reason my post got deleted without any explanation to me whatsoever. If nobody tells me what I did wrong how will I know not to do it again? It ended up that the guy who originally wanted the bipod did not get it because the questions now remained unanswered. I feel this decision to delete my post was not in the best interest of the buyer and the seller.

You could also put a penalty banning (or suspending) people from the classifieds for bashing others FS items. If you're not interested and don't have anything positive to add, just dont say nothing.

I know these are just a couple things and there are many more things at hand, just thought I'd add my 2 cents worth.
