Cheating the 'For Sale' rules?

One of our new 'contributors' has just posted random entries so that his posting score is up to the required 10, allowing him to put an ad in the For Sale section. These 'contributions' have been just one full-stop in most cases.

This left me with a few thoughts...

1. Anyone who cheats like this ought to get their For Sale entry deleted by the moderator.

2. You have to question whether this ad is a scam - rather than get yourself known as a legitimate forum member, post some gibberish then unload something dodgy. This may not be the case - but that's the first thought that went through my mind.

3. I presume that he will not contribute any more once the car's sold.

If this idea is noticed and picked up by others, then we'll end up with rubbish everywhere in the forum and the system is then broken.

Just my 2p's worth...

Errm yes......those morse code replies have now been deleted.

The stupid thing is, if the 'newbie' had bothered to get to know the forum, he will have realised that the post shouldn't have been in 'For Sale' anyway...

He has advertised it on Pistonheads, so that means it should have been in 'Bargains Elsewhere', and has been duly moved.

I cannot be on here 24/7, though I do my best , but if such incidents occur again, please, anyone, u2u me including the appropriate link to the offending page...

I think I can speak for most people on here and say we really appreciate what you do, but you really should be here 24/7 at least





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I'm not sure that 'fozmeister' is appropriate here!

How about 'Gnädige Frau Fozz'?

(No, I don't speak German, so have no idea if that's appropriate either! )

24/7???

I wouldn't have thought it unreasonable to expect 25/8!

i know danny bent his way round the rules, but there really are worse crimes out there! He seems an ok bloke and didnt bull**** when asked about the posts, and at least it was only the mad house he dotted!

Save your anger/indignation for the murdering scum who will be out from a life stretch at 35 with a lot of life left before them
