Welcome to the Forum. It would be helpful if you included some detail in your ad, photos can be added but first they must be hosted somewhere such as Imgur. It’s then simply a case of grabbing the bb code and putting it in the…

Both ads reinstated for you. Good luck with the sale. Thanks.

We normally delete all ads so users can combine. If you’d like two ads reinstated then please let us know which ones. Thanks.

Thanks for your e-mail. We know you two have history, we’re asking both of you to stop with the personal insults otherwise you’ll be taking time off from the Forum.

Thanks for your e-mail. No problem with having a new account/user name so we’ve passed this to our Tech Dept and they’ll be in contact. Thanks.

Thanks for your e-mail. There could be any number of reasons why the potential buyer didn’t get back to you and of course a ‘thanks but no thanks’ wouldn’t have gone amiss. Naming and shaming doesn’t really achieve anything, in fact it could work against…

Hi, thanks for your email. We’re sorry that you feel that the rules of our free classifieds service you’ve used for a number of years are “silly.” It’s there for a reason however; without it, users could fill the front page of the For Sale…

We know, that’s why we deleted it!

I know it’s just a joke, but paging posts aren’t permitted. I’ve deleted yours as it made no sense after I deleted his. (-:

Thanks for your e-mail. It’s easy to include pics on an ad, they just need to be hosted somewhere such as Flickr, Imgur etc.

Thanks for your e-mail and we’ve now removed the pic. Moderators do try to ensure that posts abide by Forum Rules but it’s a very busy Forum and unfortunately some slip through occasionally. We always appreciate users reporting posts. Thanks.

Thanks for your e-mail and, regardless of whether photography is your main occupation, you’re still advertising photographs that are available to purchase. Singletrack is a business, the website has to be paid for as does staff wages. As already stated, we offer competitive rates for…

Thanks for your e-mail. We considered your post to be trade as you linked to your company that sells photographs so it was actually an advertisement. Hope that explains it for you. Thanks.

Good point. Fixed, ta.

Thanks for your e-mail, we’ve tried to remove the problem characters but not having any luck. Can you repost your ad without those characters and we’ll ask our Tech Dept to remove the duplicate. Thanks.

Thanks for your e-mail, it would be really helpful if you could forward the e-mail you’ve received from the bike shop owner. Many thanks.

Thanks for your e-mail and whilst you consider it to be a ‘volunteering opportunity’, you’re still a commercial organisation that is dependent on paying guests. Singletrack is a business with staff wages to pay etc so it’s therefore reasonable to request that commercial companies pay…

Care to explain why you’re continually posting in Classifieds Wanted for Oakley glasses? This has been going on for a year, are you a trader? Account suspended until we hear from you.

Hi You need to repost either combining or as two posts. Note the eBay 12 hour rules as well, please. Cheers

Hello. Thanks for your e-mail and we’re sorry to hear about your friend. You’re very welcome to start a thread and include the justgiving link, we will then make it a Sticky at the top of the page. Thanks.

Dun.

“would kinda like the old name back” Shall I unban it and kill this one? Email us back. We’re just a well oiled machine, aren’t we.

Junkyard – the word ‘piss’ and variables of are fine with our swear filter. It’s the f’s, c’s, w’s with variables thereof that aren’t permitted. Thanks.

We’ve deleted your post as that link is clearly to a site selling fakes. Cheers.

Thanks for your e-mail. We would advise starting a new thread and definitely worthwhile including a link to the previous thread.

Apologies, you were sent in error a message re your Classifieds ad.

Thanks for your e-mail. If you’re able to forward these spam e-mails or provide more information we will certainly investigate. Thanks.

We did sending you a warning, have you checked your Spam folder?

Thanks for your e-mail concerning the swear filter. From Forum Rules: ‘No abusive or foul language – There is a swear filter on the site that will capture what we consider to be the most offensive vocabulary but any attempt to evade this swear filter…

Hi, We’re sorry you feel the recent decision to be harsh. Unfortunately it’s not practical to maintain a “preferred channel of contact” for each individual user. The forum T&Cs state that we may issue warnings either inline or via email; it’s down to yourself to…

Thanks Junkyard, well spotted.

Thanks for forwarding the exchange of e-mails with ‘preciousmetals’. He’ll undoubtedly get short shrift if he does phone STW HQ.

Thanks for your message. The thread was locked as Ernie and others were turning it into yet another I’m right and you’re EU thread. I closed it to get their attention it will be reopened.

Thanks for your e-mail and we’re happy for you to post pics and ask for thoughts from users. Obviously the rule concerning trading still stands though. Thanks.

Us Mods have had a quick chat and feel that a new thread isn’t really appropriate as the user has now been banned. Thanks.

We’ve now investigated this user and he’s now been given a lifetime ban. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

OK thanks, we’ll investigate but it will be tomorrow.

We’re rather confused by your post, could you explain please. Thanks.

We’ve been in contact with the user concerned so don’t understand why this hasn’t been settled. We would suggest ignoring any communications as it’s really not serving any useful purpose, you’ve reposted your ad and received interest so that’s positive.

We’ve edited your post as it was inflammatory.

Latest post has been edited so thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Thanks for your e-mail. We don’t get involved in Classifieds disputes although that does not mean we wouldn’t take action, we most certainly would if warranted. We obviously don’t know both sides of the story but disputes must be kept off Forum. The thread in…

Firstly we’d like to point out that Moderators are volunteers and you may have noticed that the Forum is especially busy right now. We do try to respond quickly to any reports and reported posts. We’re unable to get involved in any Classifieds disputes, however…

Ok it’s a deal.

Thanks for your message. We understand your reason but sadly liked the other EU threads it’ll end up in bickering. We prefer to not to have took watch several threads with the same effect. Cheers

Thanks for your e-mail. In future it may be easier saving your ad in a Word document but if you get stuck then we’ll always try to help. Thanks.

Apologies forget the warning. We’ve reposted your Ad and I’ve been to the opticians.

Please post your Ad in the classifieds stating a price. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads-up Scotroutes, both threads now in their correct place!

Junkyard – we’ve had a good look at the user’s posting history and, whilst some ads have been reposted, we don’t feel there is any cause for concern. We do appreciate users bringing such posts to our attention and we will always investigate. Thanks.

Thanks for reporting a Classifieds post and we’re looking into it. Do you know the user’s real name or what part of the country he’s from as it could be useful. Thanks.
