Title: Moderation of Classifieds Board
Post by: funkymeeba on Fri, 22 March 2013, 19:35:35

I have some concerns over the regulation of the Classifieds board. I know this post is likely to open a disgusting can of words, but this seriously needs to be addressed.

Why is it that legitimate questions about the quality of an item are grounds for deleting posts and muting members? Are we not allowed to ask for details about an item for sale or trade? Why would this be the case?

I'd like to know also. Why was I muted other than threadcrapping, which actually has no rule towards or against it currently? Also, what makes my case specific, most other threads do not receive this sort of attention to any sort of "spam", unless this is how GH will start to operate. If so, please tell me this also.
Thanks, SmallFry

The mods don't really seem to like you, I guess. Like most other deleted posts, If there are no "strict" rules, people tend to just ban/mute/ silence someone they don't like. Isn't this what happened to the weed dude?

1) Threadcrapping: If you aren't interested in buying from a seller, STAY OUT OF HIS/HER THREAD. Repeat offenders put themselves in danger of moderator action.


Please refer to the stickies.
