Comments in for sale posts

-Boosted- said
What's a for sale ad without pictures, prices or even actual items listed then? That's what is in question here.

I personally do not agree with some of the rules but they don't really bother me and I just try to follow along. I wasn't the one that questioned what happened in this particular case. I do understand where he's coming from with his questions and thought I would try and help explain. I do feel there is some double standard here going on with the rules.

Here's what I see in this case....

Someone commented on a for sale ad - 1 rule broken and the post gets deleted
Someone created an ad in the For Sale forum without pictures, prices or even an item listed - 3 rules broken and yet the post is still active.

Your last sentence reminds me of what happened with a post I had created recently. I didn't post a wanted ad, yet other members chose to not follow the rules and offered items for sale on my thread. Instead of their offers getting deleted, my thread did and it was a legitimate thread asking a question. I understood the reason you chose to delete my thread instead of their offers because I don't expect anyone to babysit the forum or my threads to ensure everyone follows rules but yet you are choosing to do that in this case. Kinda feels like a double standard to me.

Again, I really don't give a crap about any of this and will continue to try to follow the rules of the forum. :)

I would have to see specifics but if the ad you are talking without photos and prices is the one I saw at 2:30 am this morning, we (staff) were discussing it earlier today. Sometimes we get to ads with issues too late and by that time there isn't much else to do but remove the whole thing. Also, sometimes there is questions about the item for sale and a lot of good information is posted. Those are the hardest for us to deal with. Follow the rules and delete comment posts or leave them in and not follow the rules. I have chatted with sellers in the past and took the ad down but changed it to a tech thread. Find out what you have or need and then post an ad. A lot is not cut and dried here. We have to make decisions on the fly often times.
