This forum is widely know as being ODD and not welcoming, it's not everybody just some people who think they are something special.
I've had a ad removed by a nameless mod (brave sneaky F**KER) the ad was priced and as many others on here.

Sad to say this mod just goes to prove what many say about this site, it's sad some people mess things up for others

Which mod was it? I am sure it must of been just a misunderstanding, maybe the ad did not comply with the requirements for the for sale section :?

This place aint odd at all.

Are you a member of any other forums? You get some complete tw@ts out there.

Follow the selling rules and adds wont be removed.

The mod just removed it and locked the ad, nothing else.

No name no PM

P1sses you off and all you get is a link to how it should have been posted which it was but no pics, there are a few on here with no pics or a mod asking for a pic to be added, this should have happened this time if anything, not the way it did.

This just brings the image of the forum down to the levels other people say, which I can say is not a lot of the time a welcoming friendly place like other forums can be, this place has a few people that got problems and then mess the forum up and give other people a nasty taste int their mouth.

So no crossed wire just ignorance on the mods behalf :(

Did you meet all the rules? Pictures of all parts, individual prices (not offers), location etc....

If not then it deserved to be locked.

I think the mods are fairly within their right to lock a thread that doesn't meet the rules, as they are offering free advertising, and this forum is not free to keep up and running.

After all, before the ad was posted, the rules should have been read, which takes all of a minute as their is only a couple of rules set and it only has to be read once.

Thats fair enough to a certain extent, But I think there should be more consistancy when mods delete ads. Sometimes peoples ads are locked by the mods until they get there pics up but other times for the same offence the ad is deleted with no warning as it is with this case. So more consistancy is needed IMO :)
