Rule 5 update

[ButcherBill]

Doesn't apply to me as I'm not a seller or a MOD but I reckon the rule 5 banner has been a long enough warning so you should just delete the add, if anyone challenges it simply post them a link to this thread.

That'll be why they'll recieve an official forum warning on their profile at the same time, hopefully they'll then be able to figure it out for themselves ?

Nor am I but I figure if the mods didn't want the rest of us to be able to see and comment then this thread wouldn't be visible to us peasants

Never say never ?

You guys are being very forgiving with still giving out warnings. I'd be just deleting the offending ads

 

[Jez_Armstrong]

Depends on my mood, today I've been deleting them just after Tackle gives a warning ?

Lol, chuck me under the bus why don't ya, I was deleting them, but you were like "rule 5 please guys?", made me look like an arsehole, so I stopped.

That's it, no more Mr nice guy, it's time ?

?

 

[Jez_Armstrong]

Yeah fuck em, if they can't see the red banner on top of every page they don't deserve an advert

Guys, some of you are renewing posts that have previously been hidden by the mod team, this is usually done following the receipt of a warning for not adhering to rule 5.

Thing is, if you renew a post that has a small crossed out eye symbol to the left of the title,  the thread will only be visible to you & the mods, so if no one is buying your kit, this could be one of the reasons why.

Your only answer to this is to start a new thread, one that conforms to rule 5.

Guess, we report these For Sale posts if we see them?

Yes, then the Mods can take action

 Hahaha, bit optimistic I reckon.

Tackle drew 3 and 9 today from a disgruntled would-be seller. He wasn't too happy about not being treated with kid gloves for his inattention and said it would be a pain in the arse to write his listing back up and said he feels encouraged not to post again.

Surely you don't threaten moderators with an easier job looking after the forums?
