It is an OPTIONAL Thread that may be posted at the Moderators discretion.
In the Arkansas forums, we suspended the Short Term Ads Thread as the Membership could not / would not comply with the Thread Guidelines.
In Oklahoma, the Short Term Availability Thread is relatively trouble free.
On the Staff side of things, having a Short Term Ad Thread greatly increases the amount of time needed to properly Moderate the Forum each day.
There have been a couple of discussions on the topic in the Staff Area of the Board.
