Swap is as good as a for sale advert in regards to the rules.

this thread will follow suit aswell soon and end up in the bin

still need to be a paying gold member,nothing is free in this life and you know as well as i do doing what you are doing is advertisng your car as you will get a responce,
we all could do the same BUT you have to draw the line somewere or everyone will be at it.

quite seriously i DO NOT want to sell my car for fiancial gain....i want to see if anyone is interested in a swap...thats all...
have re-posted again with a not for sale in the title...if you feel you have to delete it again then go ahead....i think personaly its a general question not a for sale post...if i wanted to sell it for money i would put the fookin thing on e-bay,

cheers

thats rubbish pete

i posted about breaking my shed and asking what parts are worth as i was trying to work out if i should bother breaking it and would i get enough to add a little extra and get a porsche ( and i didnt mean a 924 )


i get what your saying but swoping isnt in the rules and as such makes it unfair IMO

comonsence or not its the rules we go by

ps; you got a 044 fuel pump in stock mate

Ginge - swap is as good as a for-sale. If we wanted to swap, we would of done like on FT.com and had a "swap room"

if he persists in advertising his car on the site, he will receive a 24 hour ban

Ok so pete deleted it again or moved it or whatever.... now im not bothered....

i guess if your new or no-one knows you then you are on the hard side of the rules..... infact there is a few swap topics in the room that havent been deleted ....and they are non-gold members.

maybe one day people will stop assuming and start reading what is said in the post....

pmsl at westlife


there is no swop room though and its not in the rules either mate sobe honest what is he doing wrong ( well apart from readvertising when we havent decided its ok to and generally anoying you when your in a good mood)

pete now i get what ya mean


but when i posted mine up it was just to get a idea and not to sell parts, i got a few pm's off people ( the vultures ) and i said the same thing top them that i wasnt sure about getting shot and it was just a idea post


i personally think we should let it be on this one as theres no rules relating to this directly and no swop room either so he cant advertise it in the right place tbh for the correct coverage he needs

besides it actually a nice car which is rare these days

this may be true but is it now going to be re addressed as people are working betewwn the loines and taking the piss,like all rules they do need updating from time to time so Iam sure the mod team will be speaking to to Stu and Pet regarding this matter
I was in the same boat only 2 days ago reagring a rule which was interpritated different by someone else,Iam not going to go into what happened as its now all sorted but be ready for a few changes

the rules state that ANY advertising is for gold members only, and in the correct places.

you are NOT a gold member
and GD is NOT the correct place

i was in no way taking the piss whatsoever, i looked at the rules before i posted...a while ago and as far as i was concerend i was not doing anything wrong....

so my posts have gone for what reason...just because im a non-goldmember???

or because you belive im taking the piss and "working between the lines"??

in which case quite a few of the posts in the GD should be deleted then?

ive seen this too many times on here...ppl getting slated just because they are not a gold member.

as i said....no rules for swaping, no swap room?

i wanted no financial gain?

i was not being offensive or rude....

so because im a non-goldmember i get my posts removed when i belive ive done nowt wrong,

but if a gold member posted it in the GD room it would be left alone?

because now ive posted in the wrong room aswell as the advertisement.

going round in circles.....again

pete but if there isnt a rule then it cant be deleted yet

bit like being done for doing 40 on the m25 to be told by the copper @ i know its a 70 at the moment but be warned we are changing it soon, be warned"

theres not gonna be enough swops tbh to make it worth while tbh and hes not trying to get financial gain by it either and the odds are hes only gonna be offered a load of old shite boxes anyway

but main point not in the rules means its infair to penalise untill they are amended

Right time to stop the arguing

there will hopefully be a rule change to rectify this oversite as this problem has not come up before

nothing wrong with you not being a gold member biglee you have the right to be one or not this is your choice if you choice to or not.

And as you have said in the past there has been threads similar to yours but recently we have tightened up the modding as people were starting to take the piss.

hope this helps you understand why you post was gone.

the rules are clear to see and read,you must be a gold memebr to advertise,this guy is advertising a car,it does not matter if its for cash or a swap
at the end og the day the rules need chaging if you wish to pick between the lines,this site is a business and provideds revenue for Stu and Pet,this is paid for by gold members and traders,if no omne paid there would not be a site,plain and simple
so read what you want into the rules,pay up or dont advertise,try the same thing with aut trader and see if they will let you on there site for free

A SWAP IS AN ADVERT

You have something that you don't need, someone may be interested in it. You put up a post stating this. that post IS and ADVERT

mate you still havnt grasped the point,no matter what your asking for swap or money you are still advertisng your item,which is against the rules,
just pay the fee and the job is done,at the end of the day you are going to have to "advertise" it somewhere either for cash or swap the Atuo Trader is still going to charge you for a swap so wht cant Passion Ford
