So if you spot a glaring misrepresentation, you shouldn’t point it out if you have no intention of buying?

As said, Forum ads are free and forums are places for discussions and opinions. Pay your fee to Autotrader if you don't want comments.

I am sure only the moderators have the ability to 'lock' or remove threads.
This forum is run in a very 'laid back' style with the onus on the forum members to behave, which we all do 99% of the time. Only serious breaches of 'rules' or personal insults result in threads being locked, or posts removed.

I remember a for sale thread by a very prominent member a couple of years ago, which got many, many responses of one form or another.
Because it all got a bit 'messy' he posted a new for sale thread and asked in the initial post for no-one to contribute unless they wanted to potentially buy. It worked; no-one posted anything other than stuff relevant to him trying to sell his car.

I didn't say. I said "as said", i.e. it had already been pointed out.

Thanks for confirming. The forum is an active hive, so those that help run it are doing very well.
