The posts need to be reviewed no matter what.
I get the feeling a lot more of the policeing is done by readers and the report option than ever before anyhow. That saves time even if it needs to be deleted, but could actually be worse if overdone (wolf...wolf...wolf 
just like my sister when I was a kid, eventually complaints on edging any rule fell on deaf ears . It would have gone better if it were less technical(B&W) and more reasoned out (the grey addressed as well)
What I don't see in these FS/wntd debates much, is explainations on what most offends the folks that don't seem to like FS ads from a readers point of view, ALL economics aside. Most folk focus only on the rule as it stands, or a buy or sell view.
If the forum was flooded with ads & many posts daily I'd not question it but it simply doesn't appear out of hand to me. When I started new here there seemed to far more ads and far more abuse of them as well and it was against to rules then as well. Do I just have good timing; missing these posts before they are deleted? I really am very curious. Especially Rods feelings as you've started a few of these but never seem to comment on exactly why you agree or disagree with the rules, focusing only on the fact some folks have broken them (which is going to happen to some extent no matter what (refer back to line one 
). If a charge is attached, even to ads, IMO folks would be even more inclined to bump and break rules, using the monetary fact as an excuse to go nuts..."but I paid for it". (take my word for it. sometimes free makes things easier... I can't go into it further unfortunately)
A buyers or sellers motives don't carry as much weight IMO. The deal itself is too personal.
Attempts at only looking at it from a readers point of view helps with remaining more objective and detached from the aquistion of property or cash. The other reasons are valid, just not as impactful as the reader who has no real stake in ads other than a want of information or conversation about a cool train 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃 that by chance, also happens to be for sale.
(sorry if the post is "scattered" I haven't slept since Monday)
