Disapearing classified adds ?

ocdart said

You know, I'm all about following the rules but they can always be 'bent' a little as well. I dealt directly with jeffstrad on a purchase from one of his ads and he was straight up about everything. He had some great parts at some great prices and I'm going to be sorry to see him go away. I certainly don't see any need for this type of response.
As far as the location question, how hard is it to check someones personal information and find their zip code? A few seconds and you what part of the country you're going to be dealing with. Besides, as stated in his ad, the freight was covered in his selling price.

The guy's got 30-something posts, DOESN'T follow the board classifieds rules - which are clearly posted, then has sarcastic and arrogant responses to long-term members/moderators that are real contributors to this site. I feel my comment is very appropriate.

Furthermore - for everyone that has commented on the location rule in this thread - this has been discussed ad-nauseum in many threads to this point. The owner of the site was considerate enough to start a thread to encourage and include all members to throw out ideas and suggestions to make things fair and consistant as it relates to classified listings. The BOARD settled on these rules, and it's been accepted as a requirement. If you didn't participate in that discussion, that's too bad for you. we don't need to continually re-hash this debate for newer members just because they don't like it. the Mods aren't Nazis - they're just following through on rules that we, as a community, set, and are clearly outlined in the classified section. No location, the ad is deleted - the rules can't be any clearer.

It's one thing to make a mistake when listing an ad in classifieds - it's another to start a thread accusing the Mods of misdeeds, insinuating they are Nazis, and disregarding board rules that were set by the MEMBERS.
