Interesting observation (to me)...

gomarlins3 · 10-27-2009, 03:53 PM

So I had a little free time this afternoon and decided to clear out my PM boxes of out dated and useless PM's over the past couple of years. Since I have to do the dirty work of keeping the SPAMMERS and 'pop-in-and-sell-something-and-pop-out' crowd at bay, I am allowed 500 PM's. It makes it easier for me to be able to go back and check if I have already warned sellers of the rules (and bump rules) to determine if I need to suspend their account or not.

It was AMAZING to me how many people have come on here, tried to sell something, had their thread deleted, complained about it, and left for ever. There are SOOOOOO many screen names attached to these PM's that have never posted on here either before or after their FS thread. There are also many that had/have a couple of posts and nothing else.

On the flip side, there were a few (and I mean VERY few), that I had to warn and delete their thread, but they understood, stuck around and made some QUALITY posts and then decided to sell some items. To you folks I would like to say "Thank you" for understanding and playing by the rules set forth by the membership here. We are a better web site for you being here and helping to make this site grow.

As I said at the beginning, it just seemed interesting to me, probably not many others though.

Haha Nah GO we may not see it but i know its there heck just look at your profile I saw it a few weeks back and was shocked by the comment.

A week or so ago you deleted my for sale ad without warning. Your pretense was that I had "only" 23 posts. Your own faq regarding this matter states that those with less than 25 posts would have their for sale posts "subject" to deletion. This implies that deletion is not automatic, just that the mods may delete it. I think your action was unwarranted and downright classless. You and your forum can stick it up your a*s for all I care.

keep up the good work go

^That's just the one you can see. There are many more in my "Inbox".

I know for a while things were a bit hectic here on this forum. Most of us really appreciate the effort put forth by you and the other moderators. Good job.

Thanks
