Columbus Spam Solution - Why doesn't the Columbus Cartel use the Classifieds?

Recently there has been a lot of talk about how friggin' annoying the spam from the Columbus Cartel is. You know, that group of like 20 college kids who scream about Columbus, Ohio being the single greatest place on earth ALL. DAY. EVERY. DAY.

I'd like to know why the Columbus Cartel isn't utilizing the Classifieds section here on BP? BP allows every user to shamelessly promote themselves with 2 ads every single day. In years past this was called the "Marketplace" and you had to be a paid pro member to do this. Now it's totally free for any BP member to post there. Myself, I drop 2 ads every day. Yet, while I am in there every single day I never see any of the Columbus Cartel kids in there. I see no action from the Columbus Cartel there at all. 

Ya'll don't gotta sound like a bunch of ChatGPT spam machines in the forums when there is a location for you to knock out your marketing on a daily basis. I know many of the Columbus Cartel kids look up to me as a father figure, so my fatherly advice is to jump in the Classified pool ya'll. The water is warm, you'll love it and so will the rest of the BP members.
