Reminder:

Posting auction updates in non-auction groups is verboten:

I wonder if it's time to think about creating a few filters, and some very
clear rules on market postings.

Suggested rules:

Any message with an apparent URL corresponding to any of the well known
auction sites will be filtered from any group other than
lugnet.market.auction and lugnet.market.theory

This would filter every post from Mike Stanley, as his well known auction site
is listed in his sig (unless "well known auction sites" is supposed to just
mean eBay).  Even if eBay is the only intented target, there is no reason why
someone couldn't put a link to their eBay page in their sig, in the fashion of:

[start sig]
Great Lego, Great Prices:
http://cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&userid=madeup
[end sig]

Lugnet doesn't seem to have any rules about what can be in a signature, so even
something like this should be acceptable there.  (I don't think sig rules
should be established, either.)
