You were still listed as viewing the thread before I did so and would have seen my reply.
In case you didn't, here it is...
No Mate, I didn't see the reply before the thread was deleted.
Admittedly the strike through thing was a bit cheeky, but then, as you say, the whole ad was a bit borderline. You had already decided to allow it to remain on the Forum for several weeks, so I think the decision to remove it was a little harsh.
I appreciate the need for rules to protect the users of the Forum from con-artists, but I think 2,500 posts (or how ever many it is) is a little bit excessive.
I only want to re-coup some of the £800 that I have spent on this car, if I can help fellow Vauxhall enthusiasts to keep there cars on the road in the process then how is that a bad thing?
It was not cheeky, it was taking the piss....
As for being on there 'several weeks', you initially posted up a car for sale add on the 12th July. Thats hardly several weeks....
In the meantime, you placed assorted posts throughout the boards offerring parts from the car and linking these back to your for sale add.
That is where you were given a very large slice of the benefit of the doubt although it was quite obvious to myself and the admin team what you were doing.
You turned it into a car being broken for bits add in the cars for sale section at 0148 on Saturday 31st, i.e. early hours yesterday morning by listing assorted parts of the car for sale at individual prices.
You were advised by LooKnee that you had overstepped the mark and then, rather than deleting the content, you simply used strikethrough?
When I saw what you had done I initially edited your post deleting the struckthrough content. I was then placing my post explaining my actions when I had a rethink i.e. you had received enough slack and I deleted the post.
Now you claim foul?
Hardly......
And no, it will not be resurrected. As others have said, join the community and partake willingly rather than umpteen hollow 'welcome to OOF' posts in Newbies.
We all have something to offer, in one way or another.
