Cranfield Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Cranfield, the point that a good number of people have made here, is not that they disagree with your quoted rules, but that it isn't relevant, in this case. Taking the way this case in point was handled, if; member X posted a For Sale post for a 20 year old, but still boxed and perfect Whogermaflip and member Y replied that he used to sell Whogermaflips many years ago and that this product was subjected to an urgent product recall, due to safety concerns and did member X know if this one safe or not...This would be removed because it's banter, bumping or just chit chat. The suggest that the member should have started a new thread and link to the orginal, doesn't seem that sensible either. There are always expections to rules and I believe should have been made here. I look forward to a reply with regards what is and what is not banter or chit chit although, I'm sure I know this will end and I give it 90 minutes. Your right cranfield it is a long post and it doesnt really apply as the post that was removed was not chat,derailment or bumping the sale,it was information for everyone to see about the product that was being sold.A product that not a lot of people know about on here,therefore very helpfull if anyone was considering buying it and to remove it was just petty. Someone posts a Beretta Silver Pigeon, or a Lanber Field for sale, the next posts are all, "I've got one of these mate, top gun". These are probably the posts that are complained about the most, they are not pertinent to the sale and are removed. On this occasion the item was a bow and arrows, but the response was not much different from the, " I've got one of those mate, top gun" posts. If we had left this comment there, we would have had all the silver pigeon and lanber owners complaining about, "one rule for one etc...". As has already been said, offers of specialist help could be made in the appropriate section, or specifically posted in response to a question, in the appropriate section. Members do report items for sale that may not be legal, or for other reasons we may not want them advertised on this Forum and we examine those reports and act accordingly. The example of a product recall would be dealt with in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbart Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 You are missing the point totally cranfield the post wasnt about a silver pigeon or any other run of the mill shotgun it was about a thing most of us have never used and know little about,so a little information about it was a good thing.I guess what i am getting at is why cant the mods use a little common sense and be practical about things instead of doing something nearly everyone on the forum thought was wrong and then being arrogant about it by saying things like "shut the door on the way out"and as someone else said"if you dont like it, **** off" is fast becoming this forums motto.

Hodmedod.one Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics even if you win your still a retard :o Which events are you entering then NS? If you class physically handicapped people as retards, you obviously aren't the sharpest pencil in the box yourself. DOH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :o Jeesus Christ. How did i get bought into this!!!!! I think that is a very unfair comment to be honest. I guess you know who your friends are not. All I see is too many people whinging on this forum on a day to day basis. As stated before in not so many under certain terms. Put up Or Shut up. Irrespective of the original posters question/help/advice etc he went against the rules, which have been stated are non negotiable, rightly or wrongly and I in fact believe wrongly, but that dont matter, they are rules. I dont like not being able to go in a pub and smoke. But them's the rules. I dont bend them cos the pub owner and 99.9% of his customers are smokers. Them the rules. A modertor, even if I think he can be OTT was only following the rules Thats my rant for the day. Edited February 13, 2008 by ShaggyRS6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been censored and doesn't even exist. Anyway, we're on page 5 now. I underestimated this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russuk Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Nope, no PM. However, in the grand scheme of things, at the end of the day, and other annoying phrases, it doesn't really matter does it. It's an internet forum and there's no point in getting all stressed out about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulkyuk Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Jeesus Christ. How did i get bought into this!!!!! I think that is a very unfair comment to be honest. I guess you know who your friends are not. Wasnt really a dig at you Lee, but at shooting Mags in general and the drivel they pour out, yet when a guy with vast experiance tries to help out other forum members, thier post is deleted because it is 'chit chat ' in the sales area. ( yet i still cant see where it broke the rules, as it was releted to the said post and was not general chit chat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
