- Subject: RE: classified ads for CWIS systems
-
- We have a Buy/sell/trade system on our CWIS. The system is restricted
- to University faculty, staff and students.
-
- There is a screen presented to the user that requires the posting of
- their identification number and name. The postings are accumulated in
- a file and are then processed against official University records
- prior to posting to the system. A person in my office checks the
- postings prior to loading into the CWIS for completeness, that is,
- they have listed a contact address or phone number. We have had some
- rather explicit ads posted but the submitter tried to use bogus ids to
- avoid identification and these ads were rejected by the check against
- the official records. For ads that that are incomplete or where the
- person is ligitimate we often contact them if they have posted their
- name in a form that does not match the official records, such as using
- initials that do not appear in the official records.
-
- We have a statement preceeding the posting screens that indicates that
- all negotiations and arrangements between individuals are their
- respnsibility and the University accepts no responsibility for the
- outcome.
-
- The system has been operating for about a year and a half without
- problems.
