Running Classifieds

What a member may post, what expires, and where the questions come from.

A board is the one part of the platform where most of the content is written by people you have never met, and the screens are shaped by that.

Questions belong to a category

A category declares its own questions, and the answer to a numeric one is stored as a number as well as text — which is the only reason a reader can ask for cars under a hundred thousand kilometres. You add categories and their questions yourself; nothing here is fixed in the program.

What "live" means

Published, not past its date, and its category still in use. All three, in one place, so the list, the category page, the advertisement's own address and the sitemap can never disagree about whether something is still showing.

A hidden telephone number is really hidden

When a poster asks for his number not to be shown, it is not merely left undrawn — it never leaves the server. A number sent to a browser is a number a scraper already has.
