yours

anyway - I see no future for removing post count on the site

Inconsistancies is what I see, thats all. Rules made for a reason. Innocent until proven guilty.

I am posting, that is all that matters.

It's not even about that, it's the fact that you guys came in and closed a thread that all of us used every day to talk, it was like our own chat room. If it wasn't for that thread, most of us wouldn't be so active in this site and you know that. Before i started talking on that thread, i barely posted, basically i barely was on this site. Many of the meets and things i have attended has been due to that. I really think closing that was a mistake, opening a new one doesn't make up for it.

Selling. I have done that in here. I will admit I did that the other day. I sold a set of tires. I gave the NE first dibs as I would not have to ship them. We meet, exchange money for goods. No need to make a new thread if not needed. What is wrong with that situation of selling something?

Rippars, you have the absolute best one liners

I can't even imagine what it takes to manage this site. More trouble than it's worth... sometimes... maybe?

it's a subscribed thread URL.... it's not like you're driving to a store out of your way across town to shop. It's on the site... what is lost?

I moderate a site, I know how this all works. I am not calling them out for closing it. It is done.

I personally think that some felt personally attacked, for everyone has their reasons why and why to think like that.

a new member with 2 posts walks into this thread... whores and chats with you. He says... HEY, I've got a new set of wheels for you. Wanna buy them off me for this cheap? You agree and pay for them with a money order or check through the mail (has already happened). Then you never see your wheels. It isn't being monitored by staff, and it's taking place outside the FS area. Members can try to do this with 1 post in these threads. Nothing is stopping them but you... not buying them.

Then I get a PM from you stating you just got ripped off by a member on 8thcivic and I have the luxury of trying to help you.

Just that you came in and closed it, it's like when the police comes and closes a hang out spot. I will admit that everyone has broken the rules, but don't you think that if instead of posting on the thread you would have Pm'ed the ones that broke the rules, everything would have been fine?
First of all, that thread was moving way too fast to go back and read other posts, so most of the times, we weren't even able to read your posts. I really think messaging the one that commited the infraction would have solved the problem. Also, now there seems to be mods in here 24/7, what's that all about?? It seems like we're back in kindergarden.

as webby mentioned earlier... he's had problems with ppl getting ripped off b4... not just from that thread but threads outside the FS section...

in that area we can at least set up certain requirements to sell things...

also if it's ok to talk about it in that thread y not just take the time to make a thread that says "FS: yada yada yada - local pickup only"... then just post a link in the BS thread

Thats too bad, everyone should know that risk when they click whatever icon they have do to access the internet.
