Speaking about moderation, what's the rule for posts which are obviously selling something, but which appear in the buying and selling section of the forum? If it's not a tablet/tablet related then delete it?

I have called for expansion of moderation at ITT before and would like to volunteer if there is any need. I believe I just crack the thanks posts requirement. I haven't contributed much in the past to the community but I have come to find and believe there are many places where you can do this other than contributing code or apps.
And wow at being on this forum for 2+ years, seems like yesterday I bought my N800 with no idea really what it was and what OSS was capable of, this is where I lurked and did all my product research.

Hawking wares or e-bay links in signatures, promoting services in posts... etc.
^This is a small problem that has become huge on some forums... without some guidance before hand, opportunists and rude walkers sometimes take advantage of the show.
A typical guideline is:
Advertising/Spamming - Any form of advertising or soliciting members or commercial website linking whether publicly posted (including signatures) or sent privately (including email or PM) is strictly prohibited. This also includes, but is not limited to advertising with the intent to 'help people', or to provide 'free' products or links containing a referral or affiliate ID.
Additionally, owners and/or affiliates of commercial websites who profit from selling (device) related products and services are prohibited from registering usernames resembling a URL of their site.

fwiw people are reporting spam on that kind of emails and most of them get deleted.To mobiledivided, Thanks! Let's make the check...
- 1 year around, to proof that you have a good perspective.
Yes.
- 250 posts, enough to tell that you know how a poster feels like.
Yes.
- 100 Thanks received, so you somehow proof that you have support from a bunch of readers.
Yes.
- A plan. Why do you want to become a moderator.
Mmmmissing. For instance, do you plan to focus on a crtain forum, or a certain task...?
- Visible activity and experience in the area or task you want moderate.

So we have penguinbait, TrueJournals and mobiledivided that have volunteered to become moderators.
The three of them fit in the criteria above and I have no doubt they can be good moderators. So if nobody else has anything against, this is a proposal for Reggie (our dear admin) to consider.
