I have just had a look into this for you,and yes your post was binned,by who I dont know,
BUT I can see why,it was your comment
"fuck it, i gonna keep it................sorry guys!!!<!-- google_ad_section_end --> "
when someone states this or posts its sold the advert gets locked or removed to save people keep comenting on it and bringing it back to the top,

unfortunatley this happens were only human,obvioulsy your add caught the eye of who ever moved it,we get a few and miss a few,its nothing personal
you advert will get a lot of attentuion because of the car it is,these adds usually get full up with the usual rubbish,
dont sell it

Just seen this and thats exactly why I binned it.. I assumed as you were keeping it that you would rather not have people think you were still selling it and sending you PM's?

If its back up for sale then the advert can quite easily be reinstated if not then I dont quite see what the problem is?

as said mark, i was just curious as to wether i did anything wrong, as i wouldnt want to upset anyone on here. but with that last comment as to you "dont quite see what the problem is", then i wish i never fuckin bothered.

Well I wish you hadnt either seeing as how you started this thread and sent a PM complaining that your thread had been removed without actually mentioning on either that you had quite clearly stated that you wished to now keep the car!!

Surely it wasnt too difficult to work out why your thread had been removed!!?

I became a moderator because I put a lot of work into the site.

LOL so you stated that you were going to keep the car and were then surprised when it was subsequently removed from the
FOR SALE section!!

righto.

look mark. i aint gonna get into a fight or argument with you. after all, i have never met you, or do not even know you. for all i know you may be a propper decent bloke. it just narks me when the last comment you put seemed quite sarcastic. yes i appreciate the fact that i said it wasnt for sale, and i also appreciate the fact that you may have done it for my benefit, but shortly after i had said that in the thread, i also said that i still didnt quite know wether to sell or not. thanks for removing it for me...........that isnt the problem, i just didnt know why, as i have never had a thread removed before, and it made it harder to understand as there was no explanation.

I wasnt trying to be sarcastic with you so sorry if you have taken it that way... I just honestly could not see the problem!!

When threads are marked as sold in the For Sale sections we will remove them. Yours was not for sale any more so i removed it for your benefit!!

Im not trying to be funny at all mate but i would have thought after you had said you were going to keep it you would have realised why the thread might have been removed....

As I said if youre still in two minds i will gladly reinstate it for you

no its ok mate. i think that we have both taken things the wrong way as reading someones text can be misconstrued as being sarcastic. i appologise if i have offended you and that i have taken the wrong way mate. dont worry about reinstating the add, as i think i will keep it. (did me a favour really) lol. you all do a great job on here and i shouldnt have questioned that. sorry bud. keep up the good work
