Did we throw away the rules to posting on this site? Every day on just about every ad you see a post stating "PM SENT" on ad. This is by members of every statis on this site. Whats up with this? Is this some way to claim 1st dibs on item for sale. If there are new rules please post so I can play to.
lmao......i made a mistake got caught up in the moment with a post and yup i got spanked for it.....but i sure see what your talking about the whining and cry baby's even, by some members thats the shocking part
Funny the older I get the more I tend to read rules and instructions. I guess I just overlook those who don't, no biggie.
so you can or cant post craigs links to your own add? cause theres a 1949 ford panel for sale with it in the add.. just saying since i got spanked over less
NO - you can't. Just report it and a Moderator will delete the ad. Nothing in the rules have changed fella's. Just more people who don't read the rules or many who have been on here a while who forget or don't care.
This is a perfect example............It seems the rule of not posting on ad has just gotten' more ignored with time..........just sayin'......love this site and have been slap a few times myself but finally got the hint.
Doing business only by PM's leaves many questions unanswered, hence posting in the ad for answers. If a seller had to communicate only in the post, no PMing or emailing, then sellers are forced to maintain their ad. This would keep ads like the one above from needlessly clogging up the classifieds by people asking questions when the seller isn't even active anymore. But rules are rules.......
Heck I did because after seeing on alot of posts I thought that is what the protocall was .. when in Rome...... I have seen the light and will heed the floor to Bandit14569 , his wisdom and 17 posts on here ....
Yes i to could have up to 200 post as well if I chose to post on the ads and not PM the seller. I quess thats the best way to raise your statis.
Was Walter Sobchac the character in that Adam Sandler movie where all the bullies threw dodge balls at his nutz????
I have been guilty of the PM sent response a few times also but, I always go in & delete it after I get in contact with the seller. I will never understand why some of the FNG's will post a for sale ad when they don't even know what a PM is..... much less having gone in & set up any controls to notify themselves when they do get a PM. A "PM sent" post alerts them into checking out how the PM system works around here. Don't forget about the guys that post a for sale ad & then they don't log back in for a month after posting the ad. If it is that important that no responses are to be posted on the ads..... why can't you lock all the ad topics by default or give the author of the ad the ability to lock the topic so no responses can be made in the first place ?
