Why Was My Thread Edited?

I just seen my thread about rare flathead heads was edited by a moderator and was wondering why. Next time a PM with a explination would be nice.

I'd say the large 'for sale' component of your post..... but that's just my guess.

 

But they didn't remove that part so I don't get it, maybe I. Left the price in is why.

????
Had a portion of my post cut out last night too.
Oh well.

 

They refused to tell me why I got banned too.

 

That’s because they’d get carpal tunnel typing it up.

 

they moved your post to the cl***ifieds

 

You got banned for "too" @manyolcars

I would guess that someone inadvertently hit the wrong ****on just like the air raid alarm in Hawaii. LOL

@Speed Gems I didn't see the original post but maybe you pulled a '****** and went off on a rabbit trail so they cut it to just pertinent information. Maybe drop @Rocky a quick note and ask him, he may know.

 

There ya go.

@corncobcoupe haven't seen you in a while, how ya been?

 

Now you know the rest of the story.

 

I think your post was intended to ask about the heads because they are real interesting and you'd never seen any before. But instead it appeared to be a "for sale" ad. If you had posted it as just a picture of the heads, and asking for information about them, and not mentioned that they were for sale, and not posted a link to the ad, then it would have been fine.

So, if you want posts to not get moved or edited or deleted, DON'T post stuff for sale on the main forum. DO post pictures of neat old parts that we want to learn about.

 

Cob is a stand up guy,you screwed up and he fixed it for you instead of deleting because you posted it in the wrong section. HRP

 

I can think of a time or two that I have posted and get deleted and a nasty gram.

My own fault I deserved deletion and the following personal message. I am fortunate that the boss is gracious and accepted my apology. Never the less two things come to mind, my post edited would have been great and I hate that once in a while my keyboarding skills need to be refined.

One thing that we should all bear in mind is that we sometimes cause extra work for the mods and we are lucky that they are willing to put in the work. It is easy for me, for example, to type without thinking but it is work for them to fix my blunders.

 

The mods edited one of my build threads def. made it better So Thank You. talk about of topic hijack!

 

Here is a copy of your ad that I moved this morning........

I just approved (For Sale) a pair of Federal Mogul heads for a flathead. I have seen the copper before ones on the McGee roadster but never ones with Aluminum tops. What can you guys tell me about them? are they super rare?
Federal-Mogul heads for 32-36 Ford V8.
Cast copper-bronze with cast aluminum top covers on the water p***ages. The aluminum covers need repair. Made in 1936.
$3,200 per pair. Two pair available.

They're for sale - right ?

Cl***ifieds.... not the main HAMB Board.
They are For Sale but not on here. They are on my Facebook group and i just wanted too see what kind of information i could find out about them. I reposted it without the price.

 

Corncob,
It wasn’t an ad.
It was a post on the 32 grille thread. No problem at all. I just reposted it. [emoji51] PJ.

 

No offense but when you put for sale, two pair available and a price in a post it is a for all intents and purposes a cl***ified ad to 99.9% of those that see it.

 

That's what i did this time @squirrel. I just did a quick cut and paste on it and i think that's what brought you too the post on my Facebook group.
