WHEREAS, people who sell LEGO online have been posting their
announcements of sales and availability on bricklink.com and elsewhere
in any or all of lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, .shopping, and
.brickshops; and
WHEREAS, the charters for these three groups are all vague and unclear
as to which one or more of the groups is appropriate for this sort of
thing; and
WHEREAS, people end up either avoiding all three or reading all three,
depending on whether we want to avoid or read such announcements;
BE IT RESOLVED, that I think the LUGNET charters for these groups
should be amended as follows:
1. A new group to be created: lugnet.market.ads
2. The charter of all other lugnet.market.* groups should be
amended to say "No posting of ads, including bricklink stores,
ebay auctions, or other announcements of LEGO for sale by the
person posting or any organization that he/she represents."
3. Third-party announcements (e.g. "Podracer buckets for $1 at
Tuesday Morning!") would be confined to .shopping
4. Discussion of how to run a brickshop, and other
non-announcement messages pertaining to bricklink and the
like, would go in .brickshops
5. Offers to buy or trade LEGO would go in .buy-sell-trade, but
*NOT* offers to sell (put those in .ads). (Maybe this group
could be renamed or replaced with .wanted and .barter?)
6. Remove .auction or make it a subgroup of .ads. Discussions
about ebay policies and the like can go in .theory if the
group is made a subgroup of .ads.
All this is IMHO, of course.

| (...) NOOOOOOO (especially NOOO...OOO on combining the auction adds in with other adds). I really really would like to see announcements for eBay and BrickLink (and any other high volume site) each in their own group so that I can easily find the (...)
