Danger Dassie hits the nail on the head here. 

As we've gone to great lengths to explain in a number of posts in the YEARS since comments were removed there were pros and cons to Classifieds comments just as there were pros and cons to the subsequent petition thread.

Ultimately the cons outweighed the pros. 
Comments are not coming back. 
And the petition thread only reinforced that decision. Was there some merit to that thread? Absolutely. But similar to comments, on balance unfortunately it was a net negative.

We provide avenues to report problematic adverts. Please use them. 

If a newbie has questions about a particular bike they don't have to worry about being friends with Hairy or not. There's a fantastic Buyers guide forum or even a dedicated Newbies > Ask Anything forum. As history has proven, Hubbers are always willing to guide a newbie in the right direction. And if you think the bike they're keen on is worth 10% of the asking price by all means share that opinion with them on the thread.
 

I will buy a beer for the person that can convince the admin to reinstate the comments.

That money for that beer is safe, it will stay in your bank unless you buy some bike parts ... 🙈

'airy, it was the funniest description of the advertised brakes. You can picture some choice wording in local slaapstad afrikaans lingo used to describe how effective the stopping power of the brakes are. 

Jjjjirrreee it made me lag
