My post didn't bump it, it helped potential buyers as Backbart said.

@ Henry D, none of my posts are in the same league as anyone elses on here. I am here to learn from the experts and that's what this forum offers most of the time. People offer help to others in the form of their experience, and that cannot be read from books. Experience is obtained through time. Its not often, very rare in fact that I can offer help or assistance in any subject on here because of my lack of experience. I don't hunt and I am **** at clay shooting. But someone all of a sudden offered a bow for sale and that is my area of expertise. I offered my advice and it was deleted. You say to put it in the right section, but do you really think that anyone viewing that bow for sale would think to look in another area of the forum to see if there is any advice regarding it? The advice offered was right where it needed to be. I think you should have a been a bit more flexible regarding the posts. I agree with the "I had one of those" etc. But if someone had useful information regarding the item for sale should it not be allowed? A certain gun for instance that several people noticed wouldn't work with 10 round mags, or a certain bullet weight?

I know you said to post it in "other types of shooting" but this was specific to a sales post. How many people on here know about archery and bows? I can say I am pretty much the expert on this. If someone was considering buying this bow and wasn't sure if it was suitable then my post contained all the information they needed. And a forum like this is designed to help and assist people, and that's exactly what I did. A bit more tolerence needs to be exercised someday rather than "black / white thats the rules" type mentality

Derailing, bumps and chit chat posts Help and advice comes under that then?

It wasn't banter or chat, it was assistance help and advice. Its that what this forum is all about? Obviously not.

"Like it put up with it or **** off there is 3 options available " And here we have a future forum moderator.

For those that missed it someone is selling a bow. I am a NAS registered competiton archer so you could say I know a bit about the sport. I stated that I recognised the arrows for sale and that they were good for the novice, also pointing out that the bow was a good length and the draw weight was good for the beginner. I also added that I was available should anyone want help or advice on this sport. The post was deleted and I received a pm from one of the mods, not listing the content as its just that, a pm. If anything the post should have been split as a topic or left as it was. I didn't do anything wrong as far as I can see. I offered advice, help and assitance on something for sale in an area that I have a lot of experience in. And there was me thinking a forum like this is to help and advise people.

Just that. I can't be bothered with the overpowered admin here no more. I try to help and get slated.

Try architectural salvage yards if you want to sell one, but don't expect hundreds to be offered for them.

Fetch a lot of money in the right market, right condition. New ones are around the £70 mark dependent on size.

I would build the UK's best indoor shooting range. Somewhere nice and in the countryside, underground so it doesn't spoil the natural beauty of the area. I would have the range built to withstand anything you can throw at it, from 7.62 to .50 cal & .700 Nitro express, every distance from 25m - 300m. Above ground would be a nice restaurant set in idylic grounds with a small lake and donkey / horse sanctuary. And you are all welcome

I like them, haven't seen them for real though. But its nice to have art that looks like something rather than the **** that's usually displayed costing thousands.

I remember when eBay used to be like an online car boot sale, then the conmen got in on the act and ruined it.

"He also referred to using the argument to allow other religions to opt out of certain legistlation i.e. Catholic charities who didn't want to allow adoption by gay couples. " Sounds ok to me. Lets start our own religion and opt out of the UK gun laws
