Jay. Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Firstly before anyone says 'it was advertsied on behalf of another member' can i point you in the direction of the 330ci advertsied by Das Flo i think it was on behalf of member SC7 - who is also a member but not a subscriber. This advert was not pulled? And to have no pm or anything to say why the advert was pulled is out of order. to say i'm pissed off is an understatement.

Colossuss Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 If it is for the 'it was advertsied on behalf of another member', then I wouldn't take it to personally Jay As you know there is more pressure on moderators to do more moderating atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Like i say luke- there is an example of that above and it never got pulled. I have contributed so much to this forum , sent people stuff for free and i don't even get a warning email. so i have taken it personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suhail97 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Was it listed before? Or is it waiting approval? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz 330 Cs Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 If its for another member on here who's not a subscriber, then obviously it has to go. Family & friends then maybe ... I didn't see the topic from Das, if that was also on behalf of a non subscriber it should also have been deleted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Well i might just relist it as i have bought it & am gonna sell it. Its not good play to treat regular members like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay. Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 My apologies Das, i thought it was someone off bmwowner Still the same scenario though none the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das_flo Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Absolutely, way I see it is the car advertised, assuming it was the 330cd? Looked a nice car, someone off here could be interested so it'd be pointless pulling it. The golf GTI maybe as this isn't exactly a target audience... No probs though mate, 'GLWS' and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Exactly my thoughts Das, maybe so with the golf but the 330cd has a big target audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Jay, I don't think we should turn this into an 'airing dirty washing in public' thread. Appreciate you are a bit pissed on what has gone on. I'm fairly sure you will receive a PM from the person responsible explaining the reasons why it was removed.

Jay. Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Just think other members should be aware of how petty it is to be honest mikey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Well we want to make this a welcoming place Jay so I think this would be best sorted out directly with you and the person concerned. i'm sure all will be explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlpearce Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I don't see the issue personally. Jay you are a cracking contributor to the forum and i hope you never change that, but rules are rules simple as. Regardless of who removed it they were well within their right to. It looks like as moderators/owners we are fighting a losing battle. We get moaned at for not moderating enough, and moaned at when we try to do any moderating at all.

Gaz Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) It looks like as moderators/owners we are fighting a losing battle. We get moaned at for not moderating enough, and moaned at when we try to do any moderating at all. x2. We try and moderate and get moaned at. We let people get away with a bit more and get moaned at. I'm not really sure what people want us to do! Jay, if whoever pressed the delete button didn't PM you explaining why, don't take it personally. I'm sure they'll PM you when they get a chance.

RickyZ Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 FWIW I think the issue here is more that it appears one rule for one and one for others, I'm sure if all rules were applied fairly (I'm not saying they re not) then there wouldnt be a problem Just my 2ps worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks Simon I appreciate that , however I have failed to see where it is against the rules what I have done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks Simon I appreciate that , however I have failed to see where it is against the rules what I have done I believe it is because you were advertising this on behalf of an existing member. This is seen as the member in effect getting around the 'for sale' rules as the member is a non subscriber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're advertising for a fellow forum member, it gets deleted. As you know, the only way this site continues to run is from subscription money, that's why we have this rule. Otherwise I'm sure Sam would let anyone sell anything. If Das had a thread up advertising for a fellow forum member, apologies we didn't spot it. If Jay spots any other for sale threads that he thinks are against the forums selling rules, PLEASE click report and a mod will assess and take action on it.
