[Closed] adding unwanted comments !

I once got told off for pointing out a skankmeister on here.
So these days I don't bother.
Which i find somewhat ashame as I thought it was a community kind of a website...

Having checked you're history there is no evidence of that at all.

Ahhhhh just seen the mobile wanted topic.

Tbf takisawa was merely giving the op an option as to what suited his
Needs. Tbh that's the exact mobile I suggested to someone which they purchased and it's a super fast decent google phone with very good screen for £149 rrp.

Your just screaming out for attention cause you might of missed a potential sale.

My words of advice: MOVE THE F ON!

Said skankmeister seemed to be buying Crumpler bags from TK Max and selling them for a profit.
Pre hack.
Though there was also someone that seemed to be selling TLD shorts that were direct from Skanksville that never replied to a direct question...

That's one big chip.

Pre-hack there wasn't a rule for it.

I blame Thatcher

So why did i get a warning for it?

I have no idea it was several years ago so can't read the post or the warning to see the context you posted in. It obviously left you very hurt and for that I apologise.

No need for anything like that Drac.
Just find it a bit strange that's all.
I can only presume that as a newcomer i upset some of the "regulars"
As I said when i first signed up all those years ago I thought it was a "community" type forum.
Now I know it's more communal for some than others so I can take it or leave it.

I have no idea it was too long ago.

It is a community type forum, have a look around there's lots of evidence of this. Strangers offering kind support to other members health, their families health and career advice.

I know.
Even a tightarse like me has given stuff to total strangers. 😉
Hence the more communal for some than others comment.

So someone wanted to buy a phone, the Op offered his, someone else made another suggestion, Op had a proper flounce?

I think someone's toys have left the pram.

Anyway, what on earth does "I've drunk the Kool-Aid on this" mean?

I'm not a big classifieds users but I don't recall seeing that many

System's working then, demonstrably.

hmmmm, subaruben comes to mind when ad spoiling is involved.

Guilty as charged... 🙄

I'm obliged

It was a problem.

We addressed the problem.

The userbase responds, "there's not a problem."

Job jobbed then, n'est-ce pas?

If you were already deleting them back then why bring in a rule?

Because without clear guidelines we get "wah wah it's so unfair I hate you" every time we delete a post.

Maybe the regular traders pay more voluntary donations to the site

Mostly they get banned, unless we don't know about them.

B.a.nana (or banal?) I sold it on eBay in the end. A 7yr old jacket would have been circa the price you were trying to sell it for. I thought my comment was fair. Even though new stw rules state you can't post/point out now. Some fs ads should be pointed though.

No in your case it didn't 'kobosh' the sale. If an item is fair priced for its age it'd sell all day long and not attract comments. Hence why my recent F&F ad on here sold. I could give you classes? 😉

It's about 3 years old.

I know as I checked on your warning history.

Some fairly obvious people still doing it

We rely on users to report them as we don't spend as much time here as accumulative group of users. We do spot the more obvious ones at times though.

Eee I have a STW criminal record 😯 😛

I know, I was shocked too.

... arguably. (-:

In seriousness, if there are "Some fairly obvious people", please report them. I can't speak for the rest of the team but I for one don't spend a huge amount of time trawling through the classifieds.

Honestly if a classified buyer can't be bothered to check out every site that sells discount products why should the seller. In the modern world the buyer has so much opportunity and choice that the ball is with them. If an ad is over priced then it probably wont sell.

havn't bothered reposting yet but I will this wkend with the standard 1p price drop. 😀
