Forum Proposal

[Mike Franzen]

Happy New Year to my Parker Bros and sisters! One of my favorite features of this site and a major benefit for members is the "Parker's for Sale" forum. We get to see guns for sale that the general population never sees. But, we are not getting to see all the great guns we could be seeing and having a chance to purchase. The reason being, there are members who refuse to list their guns on the forum because they don't like the nitpicking that can sometimes take place. Or, someone starts talking about their gun or one they saw just like it. I realize there are stipulations in the Rules about what is proper etiquette but, it's hard to monitor and there are many gray areas. My proposal would be to allow only the seller to post comments about the gun for sale. All questions and concerns could be handled by a "Ask Seller A Question" feature. If, it was pointed out that the serial number wasn't listed or the barrel length, etc, the seller could post the additional information. I believe this will make the forum much more user friendly and we will see guns that now are going to Gun Broker or other sites. I appreciate everything that the people who run this site do the members and non-members alike. This is not a criticism of anyone. Just something new to consider starting a new year.
