When did I say they weren't? I wouldn't be in here otherwise. All I've tried to do is address the issues and move forward, but that's not enough for some people so they have to try and destroy it.
It is what the users make of it. Most would rather post nonsense that contribute I guess.
Going forward I’ll just remove the people who are just here to cause trouble and post unrelated pictures or comments. That’s their goal anyway.
If it’s dead then just let it die, we don’t need anymore “it’s dead” posts, you’ve made your opinions clear now let other people decide if it’s dead for them please.
My first post in this thread was an admission that some of the moderating was heavy handed and that I'd try and get it back on track. I didn't directly say "sorry" but it was meant as an apology for anything that may have gone over the line and that I would correct any issues going forward.
Prove me wrong, or just keep posting nonsense pictures. Other members can see for themselves how you behave and would prefer to destroy than try to improve and contribute to a solution.
I would never prohibit a mod from being able to moderate. Going forward Joab has said he’d be willing to watch the thread more closely, as will I, so if anything gets out of hand it can be dealt with before blowing up into a big thing. If there are any complaints they will most likely be...
Like I said, I don’t really have a perfect answer for you. All I can say is the classifieds take priority over the forums, they are the whole reason the site started.
If someone asks a vague question about anything and the answers don’t reference an ad it would be totally fine. The problem only...
All I can really do is watch it going forward and see for myself. If you want to stick around and see if gets better cool, if not that’s cool too. You keep saying it’s dead but it doesn’t seem like you really want to leave so maybe just wait and see what happens, or even jump in and contribute...
I looked and you have many warnings from Dankatl, timbtm, and ken Ford, and also a few from Joab, and that’s just from 2019. Maybe everyone is against you, but also maybe you push the boundaries of the rules very frequently, it seems at least four different mods thought so.
I don’t have a great answer for that. The site was created first and foremost for people to be able to list their items without harassment so I have to give that goal priority over being able to bash ads. When questions are asked with direct links to ads it leads to them getting piled on by a...
I actually considered the mod idea and have spoken to a couple mods about it but haven’t made a final decision yet.
You can not link ads and then trash talk them, that’s always been a rule and I can’t make an exception for this thread.
If you don’t want to participate then don’t, it doesn’t mean it should be closed for everyone. I can’t change the past but I’m here now. And I messaged the thread starter yesterday about keeping it open.
