At the end if the day we all use this forum for free so we don't really have a right to demand anything.


I agree that multiple posts in the For Sale section ahoukd be removed.


If you had other posts from general conversations removed I think that's harsh.


And as I've said on the other thread, I think it's harsh to remove posts because you've put FS in the title (unless I've misunderstood something about that).


But again, the owner of the site and their chosen mods run the place as they see fit and we can either use it or not.

Agreed, its not our site and we do not have a right to demand anything. But a forum is about the interactions between people and the community it brings about - without that, it is not a forum. My entire history has been deleted. I just find this action taken in respect of me to be completely personal, counter-intuitive, alienating and unnecessary for something so trivial that could have been easily explained away with a private PM and warning, with just those posts causing issue being deleted. I would be unhappy about it, but it would have been proportionate at least.


It's worth noting that my previous history was without contention. In all the forums I am actively involved in as well as this one, never have I had complaints or action taken against me.


You've not miss-understood about the FS amendments, thats exactly what has happened. I have referenced a ton of posts in the FS section which do this, none of whom have been told to 'stop it'.


Just to clarify, there were no duplicated posts. Just a bump of posts that were still live from a month ago by using a reply comment. I'm aware this could be viewed as spamming if done repeatedly and frequently - this was done following a 3-4 weeks absence of comment on those ads. I appreciate opinion may differ on this point though.


Thanks for your thoughts.

Really, why start another post about it? I deleted your posts and most i.e. 309 of them, were for sale posts and over 2 months old. There was also two recommendation requests and a recommendation from Jan 2013.


You bumped your posts up with up with the reply comment of "to the top", there is a rule that says:

"Do not continually post messages to get your item for sale back to the top of the list ... Excessive "still for sale" posters will have all their messages deleted without warning."

You bumped your messages "to the top" excessively, therefore you had all your messages deleted without warning.

Why can't you just abide by the rules, like most people do and accept that it's up to Admin how the site runs? It's not as if any of the rules are unreasonable.


As you have been repeatedly told, it's not a "for profit" site and Admin doesn't have time to forensically deal with every single element of your posting history.


It's not like you've lost anything of value, if any of your posts are worth keeping then I suggest you keep copies in future, otherwise, just get over it and move on.

    • Another happy customer. Would recommend Lucasz. Good quality work and reasonable rate
    • osted 26 minutes ago   "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead."   Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?
    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends.
