Announcement Re. Sales threads

[madcarlos]

That’s a bold statement from a new member with only a few posts.

It's most probably the last of the freeads flippers, Its amazing seeing some gear for sale going from one forum to another, The same kit just increasing in value each step,

I think the mods on here do a great job, and we only see the tip of the iceberg so to speak, like ducks their dainty little feet are going like the clappers under the surface to keep the forum looking calm

I must admit I was a bit taken aback by the post from Cornishmolecat, that is a guy who I'll wager has never worked as part of an admin team, so I hope he takes the behaviour modification treatment in the spirit in which it's meant as if Dave was as power crazed as he thinks then his membership would now be in a black site never to the the light of day again

So keep up the good work guys, a gently nudge is fine when someone makes a mistake, but everyone can read, so the basics should be a given

"Dainty little feet"......have you seen the size of their plates?

i think the mods do a great job ,if you get a warning take it,no use giving it large whats the point

[Josie & John]

If it were not for the Mods offering their time for free, we would not have had such an excellent forum to enjoy over the last 20 years or so.

A timely and courteous reminder of sales etiquette is appreciated.

Thank you Dave, Mick and all for the unseen efforts you put in on our behalf.

This forum is one of the best run by the moderators contributing much of their time to ensure its quality. Always great contributions from members with expert advice and patience. I have learned a lot thanks to this forum. Why join knowing the rules and conflict them? Thank you dedicated moderators for this most excellent forum.

All the best.....

Hear, hear!

Are you suffering from attention deficit syndrome as I keep seeing comments about your power craze on various other forums!!!

You can simply message the offenders rather than threaten people with bans as before long you will be on a forum with yourself.

Let's get this straight, Keith.

The admin team are here to uphold the forum owner's wishes, keep the place tidy and help forum members with any problems they have --- we try to do this without favouritism.

When a member who Dave and myself class as a good friend, posts on open forum "feel free to ban me", then there can only ever be one outcome to that --- he gets banned.
As far as I'm concerned there was no power craze involved, but I feel it was a truly shitty position for a friend to put Dave in.
I had expected an apology a long time ago which would have lifted the ban, but unfortunately none was ever forthcoming.


As far as messaging 44000 odd members to remind them of the rules goes, I think this thread is the simpler option.



All the best Mick

Hear, hear!

What are you after, Lembo.

[TonyL]

What are you after, Lembo.

A "non-wobbly" Uncle Mick would do for starters. How you feeling?

[woodpigeon]

It was a tad too bold I'm afraid.

Dave

Tickled me😂

[peddy]

Without sales rules it would end up like freeads. I tip my hat to the mods. This forum has kept me sane and stopped me from going under this year.

Well said. l totally agree with the above, l think we are so lucky to have people like this to keep things in order.

Pretty much,
Never had a warning, but had a few posts deleted which lets you know the rope is getting tight ..

[Binners]

Cornish who?

Dave

I shouldn't laugh.....
