i've kept quite on this post because of the current "disagreement " i'm having with pete, but I feel I have valid points to raise
I have to totally agree with those saying traders should not be mods. In particular it seems like Pete mods the for sale section like he’s in the MI5.
To cut a long story short, I posted a “breaking” post up a week or so ago in that room. To save posting my personal activities I said “I’ve bought a car and I’m going to break it – all parts available” simple as that. He has now deleted it saying I’m trading. Those that know me – and apparently the majority of mods do (so ive heard) because in a poll in the mods room most have confirmed that I am not.
Apparently because of the way I worded the post, ie, the engine is sold – when the truth is I’ve actually kept it (obviously I have to be VERY precise when telling you all how exciting my life is) I’ve been banned from re-posting it.
So where do I stand now??? Because of “Mr I’ll analyse exactly what you wrote, put two and two together and come up with 10” has now taken away my benefit was a paid up gold member (ie the benefit to post in the for sale room). I have plenty of spares hanging around which I bought for my previous cossie, but will he delete every post because he says that in his opinion it has come from the car I’m breaking???
As for him sticking by teh rules, I’d like to know where in the rules it states that I as a gold member cannot buy a car with the intention of breaking to sell most of it just this once. This being the rule which he says I have broken????? Perhaps I’m wrong and it is there – please feel free to point me in that direction
Pete, I do believe that you do have a serious problem when it comes to your moderating abilities. You take posts far to seriously and appear to want to analyse everything everyone says, just in case you can be picky and delete the post. Maybe you do use your mod abilities for your own gain, it certainly does seem to be the general consensous amounst many members and is certainly the motive in my case. Perhaps I should feel sorry for you, that you feel so threatened by a no-body breaking just one car and selling parts. But then again perhaps you just have far too much time on your hands you feel it necessary for all this stupidity in analysing posts.
By the way I’d like a reply to my question regarding where I stand now on posting in the for sale section. And if because of your moderating I am now unable to post there I hold you personally responsible for the £20 I have wasted
