thread gone?

[fallguy666]

I posted a thread about trading a foreman for a 350x......where did it go? I can't seem to find it? Did the kids delete it? If so please let me know what I did wrong?

[Billy Golightly]

Yes, the kids deleted the post. Please read the rules :)

[fallguy666]

Lol.stupid auto correct.this two month rule kills me.

[fallguy666]

Just went and re read the rules!!! Was not trying to sell anything!!!!! I wanted to trade!!!the wording clearly says "no selling" until you can.absolutely nothing about trading!!!

[dman10]

Please just don't go up that river, you'll be goin' without a paddle. Trading falls under BST area. If you read the description it says Buy, sell, TRADE. I don't think you can see the BST area yet, so....
Yeah.
Try Craigslist

On cl now.why would the mods not put that in the "RULES" that us lowly folks can see? I understand the logic behind the two month rule butttt.....ID rather do business with a forum member than a total stranger.lol.

[fallguy666]

I'm just trying to find a 350x.lol.is it against the rule posting that I'm looking for one? I know what the rules say ,buttt,I was wrong on that one

Not all Mod's have big ego's or power trips. When discussed in a civilized manor we ( Mod's ) generally reply in a civilized way.

I will say that If questions are discussed in a non-civilized way then we hand it back at you the same way ( new users rarely win those discussions ).

The Selling rule was done because of a few Bad apple New members in the past. Some only came here to sell their stuff ( no other reason then selling ), also a few was trying / did rip other members off. The rule was implemented and so far it has worked pretty good. We have kept a lot of rip raft off the site via the Newbie Rules.

I do understand your thinking on "Trading". We are not saying you would rip anyone off or not. We can't predict what New members are up to / planning so we have to error on the side of caution and not allow Trading ( or selling ). To be fair this applies to all New Members not just you. So we aren't singling you out. I have removed countless Trading and selling threads myself in the past and will remove them in the future as needed.

2 months and 10 postings will be up before you know it. ;)
Hope that helps.

I know there has been a lot said on the matter but to me it's pretty simply..

You visit someone's house you follow their rules..

We are all just guests here!!

[fallguy666]

I under stand everything y'all are saying....but please put it in the rules and make it clear where everyone can see them.not trying to rock any boats as there seems to be a wealth of knowledge on here.
