Actually; I find myself in full agreement with Wes and others...no need for censorship in the Classifieds...
Maybe a Poll structured with very specific and pointed questions to "mine" the morals & character of our Membership might be fun and informative...
Such a Poll could contain yes/no questions such as the following and the Poll would need to be totally "confidential and anonymous" so folks would give honest replies...
Some question examples :
