20 postings for the same service in 6 months is SPAM - how is this tolerated?

Good Grief...
The poor guys looking for a rivet, an axle rebuild or whatever have their ads buried in just a couple weeks.
With some multiple postings only 4 days apart, I think everyone knows about car hauling and who to call or not.
Is this REALLY how the "Services" page was intended to be? A constant, regurgitation of the same service dozens and dozens of times, posting every several days, driving every other poor guy's ad to the bottom?

Every topic I start is for a different trip.
Every trip that is completed or changed
and is not available - I change
the subject line.
The forum does not allow me to delete
my threads about trips that are no
longer available - or I would.
I was told my multi page thread with one
subject line was deleted because it was
to long - so I make single threads for each
trip as they develop.
Just like every part listed for sale
in the Parts Classifieds has a different thread

That was clever, using different fonts on the cut/paste
It's still SPAM
It's still SPAM
It's still SPAM
and it drives everyone else's ad down (like this unfortunately just did)
you offer a service: you haul
Every other service provider does multiple jobs...yet they don't post every one of them. They post. Once. A service. Maybe they get bumped, but for sure, you very efficiently drive them off of the page into oblivion if they're not bumped, don't you?

You are right Scott, he is just plain annoying and abusive. Not to mention that he has to put his two cents into just about every post that someone’s putting up, thinking he is going to kiss someone’s backside, but in reality pissing everyone else off since he has no idea what he is talking about. He should be banned from posting but once a month. Frank
