Has anyone else noticed...
It's not the first time I've seen this recently either. I thanked a seller in their ad for having reasonably priced items (quite a few) and also said it was too bad that they'll be bought and flipped for four times as much so backyard guys can't afford them. The comment wasn't even remotely directed towards anyone in particular. The whole post was magically deleted without a trace...
Not my site, but just saying... censorship is a nasty business.

Dave, let me see if I can maybe explain why the comments were removed.. First part of the comment was absolutely fine.
I thanked a seller in their ad for having reasonably priced items This issue is the 2nd half of the comment. it was too bad that they'll be bought and flipped for four times as much so backyard guys can't afford them 2 people replied to the ad and both paying members that sell on the forum. That comment looks to be directed at one or both of them. If you say you didnt mean it that way I find it hard to believe. Common sense would be to not make comments in the for sale thread section regardless if it is valid or not if you are not interested in buying or selling an item. "Congrats on the sale" or "great price" posts should be acceptable but not adding a jab comment.. People can ask whatever they want for parts but ultimately its the buyers that set the demand and value. Right or wrong thats the way it is. And you could have also sent it privately to the seller and still got the point across. So if you dont like how things work I suggest you take up another hobby. I have learned to live with it. And I am not saying that in a smartass way.. It sucks and I hate its that way but until buyers stop paying high prices it will stay the same and most likely prices will increase.

OMG WTF are you talking about... Go back and look at the thread.. Might want to look first before putting your foot in your mouth.. I am not a mod nor have abilities to change peoples posts.. I think you need to dial it back a notch or 2 as I was not trying to come off as a smartass like I stated.. I am certainly no "cheerleader"..

Your above comments are neither appreciated or appropriate. The classified section should only include post from the seller and buyer. These guidelines were established years ago, although when the site was upgraded those rules were accidentally removed. When something is listed for sale everyone has an opportunity to purchase. Regarding the flywheel, another member claimed/purchased the flywheel before you. At that point you have no right to post what you did. The seller and buyer are happy. What the buyer does with it is no concern of yours or anyone elses. You can call it what you want, however when you or anyone else posts offensive comments they will be subject to either deletion or modification. Either myself or Charley have the ability to change, delete or modify. If you continue to insult members you many lose your privilege to post on this site.

Dave, read my post again. Apparently you saw it before I was able to edit my thoughts after my initial post. You can see it was done before your reply. Dont be so defensive and try to look past the internet portion and not think I am trying to talk down or insult you. Cause that was not my intent.

I deleted the posts on my way out the door this morning. I read it as a slam against Chuck who bought it and I still think that is how you meant it. I think we are going to try to modify the software so only paid members can post in classified threads. On the way out the door I don't have the time or desire to debate about what they did or didn't mean in their posts.

Piss off Charley. You don't even know me and you call me a liar. Delete my account.

I'd be pleased if sellers were the only one that could post to their own ad. That would mean anyone responding had to send P M's to the seller or an e-mail. Until that happens, I'll just sit back and watch.
Thanks for giving me the chance to voice my opinion.
