New Cop in town not doing this site any justice

He could also not answer the posted question.
I think we have all seen in some instances the OP doesn’t come back to check their add for days

True, but the question posted is then visible to all. Both knowledgeable and lesser knowledged. Maybe even the seller being the unaware.

Yeah, I've sent PMs to sellers before asking about their part OR making a friendly correction and basically gotten "F you" in response.

Not disagreeing . Some times they don't respond to a question in the add.

If I don't get a response to a PM, I just move on.

I've left a few things go by I'm not a robot.

And thats good, thats what a good mod should do

As for numerous issues in threads I myself don't look in every thread to see what's being posted.

Nor should you be expected to! Each mod should have their own section that they are assigned to moderate, its unreasonable to expect you guys to see everything

Hard to correct a problem if nobody complains

100% yes. Im guilty of that myself, Im still a fairly new member and havent really wanted to rock the boat so Ive just kept my mouth shut. But to play devils advocate, do people complain yet nothing happens to curb the BS ??

Agree, although we all have seen other members answer it. Then someone posts a different reply to the question and on it goes.

I get a kick out of the people who ask questions about a part they have no intentions of buying.

Exactly....I see the same names over and over doing that.

They have absolutely no intention of buying the part....but they still feel the need to chip in their 2 cents worth.

Am I reading this wrong. Its says it right here you can ask question in the parts for sale, right here in the rules. It does NOT say you have to pm the person.

That place is a cesspool, I actually asked for my access to be revoked

True, but its not just in N&P, it happens in the general forum as well

There you go, it says it perfectly.... You may post relevant questions about the item for sale, but no mindless chitchat about it.
So remember Jeopardy, make sure its in the form of a question

Maybe they should read the rules

It’s like watching Barny shoot himself in the foot with his one bullet,

Here are the site rules.

Now sometimes an add does get a lot of chit chat. But a legit question should be OK.

I over looked this on the first page. A lot of post came up fast. There it is. Not understanding

Aka, personal interpretation of the rules. Not, ”the rules”.

You just remember this big man. YOU are directly responsible for the loss of a once valued member here. Nobody else.

 

[PROSTOCKTOM]

I just want to get mine licensed and insured so I can drive the damn thing. Oh, USPS poor service is for another thread that his already been discussed to death.

My favorite is what cam should I use in my 7.5 compression RV engine so I can run 10 seconds flat in my 3800 lb. car with 2.94 gears.

Correct answer is always "3/4 race cam"
