Where did my thread go?

The mods have to do what they have to do, Just start a new thread and list the prices, Its not that hard. Like I said I have been in your position and there is nothing you can say that will change anyones views of the rules or the mods. So it is best to move on and learn from the experience.

I don't think it's an issue of whether or not you can change somebody's opinion. My impression is that the vast majority of folks like the way the board is run and are willing to overlook a few things they dislike because the status quo is a decent enough compromise.

Deleting classified ads that don't conform to the rules is one of those compromises. Technically, the rule is that it can get deleted immediately without warning or explanation. There's a three year-old sticky at the top of the page that says as much. The mods have actually been replying in threads or sending PMs to give people an opportunity to fix things on their own. All that stuff takes time and energy that the moderators could be putting to better use elsewhere but they've been doing it voluntarily to keep things running smoothly. Mostly it helps, other times not so much.

If there's a better way to handle the classifieds, I'm certainly open to other ideas and I'm sure that Rob and the moderator team is, too.
 
I say delete all threads in for sale that are in violation with the rules, then delete all threads complaining about thread deletion.

Not that complicated.

even easier, just delete all the threads in the for sale section... except for mine.
 
Quite frankly I love our classified rules. I absolutely despise wasting my time reading threads where there are no prices or a list of parts is not provided. I love our mods. They do a great job of enforcing the rules and I wouldn't have it any other way! :beer:

no just make it hypnotize people to buy ONLY my things!

and if the mods didnt keep this place nice and tidy there would be no reason for sections, it would just be a huge page of every thread and comment.. and if you think this is pirate then go post on there and see what flaming really is
