"Whatever exists, whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. These anonymous creatures may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

But it is there and it should be used. I don't think that I should change my assumption that people who make ads are just unaware.... should I?
Probably not. Like you said, most people are unaware of the rules when they first do it, so it would be a bit mean to blacklist them. There are a few who know the rules, understand them, and choose to blatantly ignore them because they believe they will get better results that way, but I don't think I have seen a single member who states that in their original post. If they did, it would be a lot easier for the mods to know who is being bad and who forgot to read the rules.
When I now think about it, the Classifieds do work, but only when they are used the correct way. When you post saying "Join! Join!," you will most likely get very few replies, and even less members. If you post something that could be interesting to someone, such as "A group for members who enjoy ______," you actually give members a reason to look at the group, and possibly join it. They do work, but like the methods for reporting cheaters, they fail to help because people think they don't, then the same people stop using them.
