The overall guidelines for the Classifieds section are similar to those of the Scrap Buyers and Sellers section of the board.
DISCLAIMER: This section of the forum contains content posted by members. The classified threads posted here are not associated, affiliated, endorsed or sponsored by, nor have the products and services offered here been reviewed, tested or certified by the Scrap Metal Forum, it's owners, associates, affiliates, or moderators.
* - Do not post scrap wanted or scrap for sale ads. Both the for sale and wanted classified ads on SMF are not for buying/selling scrap, they are intended for buying/selling "stuff", such as torches, equipment, trailers, containers, computer testing stations, etc... Not 'scrap'. Ads that are intended to buy/sell scrap (single lots or monthly deals) should be posted in the Scrap Buyers and Sellers section.
* - If you have any questions or concerns regarding an classified ad posted, ask the owner of the advertisement before you have any dealings with them. The buyer or seller's history on the forum, their profiles, and what has been posted by them in the past is available for you to research and evaluate.
* - Please feel free to post reviews if you've had experience with a member who has advertised here. Since the forum does not review, recommend, or confirm the content of any classified ad submitted here offered, and disclaims all responsibility for whether or not their advertisements are accurate and that the advertiser will hold up to their end of the bargain, your truthful evaluation, experiences and opinions are important for other members who may be considering dealing with a member who has posted an ad, for example a 'for hire' posting.
* - You must give our members and guests (your potential customers) some reliable and common way to contact you which is not dependent on the forum or it's features/functionality. An email address and/or phone number for example. Many members, such as new ones, and guests, who might be interested in dealing with you might not have enough posts or privileges to send or receive private messages.
* - Although a Scrap Room Membership gives you the ability to post a classifieds ad, the forum staff still solely decides what is or isn't allowed or approved. There may be times when we might not allow certain advertisements or offers, or determine when an advertisement or offer will be discontinued.
* - Anyone caught scamming or deceiving members here will lose posting privileges (obviously), and possibly removed from the forum entirely. If you're going to place an advertisement here it's your responsibility to maintain a good reputation and morals. If you need to close down your thread, submit a support ticket and ask that your thread be closed.
* - If you do in the rare case, have an issue with a member who has posted an advertisement here, the issue is between you and them, not the forum, not the mods, not the forum owner or admins. However, we do encourage that you make us aware of any issues either via a support ticket or in a private message. You can also use the 'report' feature to report threads, the triangle icon at the bottom left hand corner of the first post will let you send a report to the forum admins and moderators.
