I think this is what people find annoying:
This is not hard to fix though. Ignore the user, he's clearly just selling here, or setup the classified forums to be filtered out. I can walk anyone through it that wants to do that.

Entirely different experience than browser based. Let’s just say I can tell exactly when a seller bumps each thread. There’s one guy who usually bumps multiple like clockwork. I usually just opt to mark all threads as read at that point and see what populates later.
The classifieds section can be administered in a variety of ways to either minimize or maximize impact to the membership; the real question that needs to be answered is what value and risk does having a classifieds section bring to the sight.
Oh....hey...I actually already put together a tutorial on how to customize your news feed.

How-To: Customize Your New Posts Feed
Do you read the threads here by clicking on "New posts" and then reading through the list? I do and I have often wished I could exclude threads from certain forums from the list. Lo and behold, I figured out a way to do just that so I wanted to share how with others here that might want to do...

Funny 300ish post all of them “bump” who talked about that earlier…Speaking if Tapatalk here’s one the guys I was talking about and what it looks like.
ETA: the ads are anywhere from 1-6 months old and all the replies are “bump”. The plate carrier has been bumped 87 times since June.
Only if one actually views them.
Otherwise, they can stay there all day.

So I'm in the unread post group of users and yes it gets filled when someone goes and bumps all of their ads. I've never used the ignore feature because of FOMO, but figured it was worth it in a few cases. My unread post section cleared up greatly. Thanks for the tip.
I just did an 'ignore' on a poster with many selling ads and poof my new post forum area cleared out about 90% of the annoying ads.
I knew I could do it this way, but hesitated.
Now, with the influx of a boatload of new guys wanting sell/buy/trade here, I'll be exercising this option a LOT more.
Those new guys that look at this site as e-bay aren't people I'm interested in anyway, so off with their figurative heads!
Why am I not interested in the classifieds?
Because I'm not interested in: Buying/Selling etc.
If I want something I'll buy it retail and sell nothing.
I give away rather than bother with selling and I've never done a 'trade' in my life and have no desire to now.
Now, get off my lawn!

Have you tried SQLGeek's tutorial? I think it would solve the problem we talked about previously.
That is a dadgum weird way to approach how to view a forum. I would have never thought of it.Oh....hey...I actually already put together a tutorial on how to customize your news feed.

Which is why you're a genius. I had been searching for a way to do exactly that and I couldn't figure it out. There's add-on software for the board that could make the process simpler but would require much more trouble on the back end.
Thank you for showing us a way to accomplish something that has been requested a few times by other members. That's an incredibly valuable post.
I actually WANT to see classifieds that pop up. It's a good way to score a good deal on a good firearm or ammo or accessory, the problem is already mentioned. There are about 5 folks who all they have ever done is list things and then bumped it for eternity. I'll just start blocking them I guess.
