There is no easy solution to our problems in the auto section. Some dealers are still doing all they can to remain on the front page even if that means violating the rules. Numerous warnings from the moderators have not deterred them from doing so. I really do not blame them because if you are not on the front page, you might as well not bother coming here.

One viable solution to this insatiable urge to remain on the front page may be to de-centralise it. By this I mean that when you come to the auto section, you will no longer see a front page as it is today. Rather you will see child boards containing categories of cars for sale. For instance, you will see categories such as:

Toyota
Honda
Nissan
Acura
Audi
BMW
etc

If you have a Toyota for sale, you post it on the Toyota thread. If you have a Honda for sale, you post in on the Honda thread and so on. In the addition to eliminating the need to continuously fighting to remain on the front page, this will make it easier for buyers to find what they are looking for.

This is a brilliant idea.
However, I feel it gives the impression that everyone visiting wants to buy a car.

My suggestion is to try out this idea on the bulk section(which I presume is designed for those seeking to buy cars) and see how it plays out.

In the meantime, if a decision is made to follow through with the initial idea, it may require more broader categories/sub categories such as adverts, enquiries, comments, questions etc

The overall idea would be, if I come on and I want to buy a car, make enquiries, advertise or what ever, I can either go to a section or I am able to filter the posts and see what is available.

I bet this would entail a great deal of work but its worth considering
