edited: Why did my topic get deleted?

[gravedigger]

Please help with new question!!

Just wondering why my posting got deleting in the for sale section? I followed all the forum rules to my knowledge and I am a charter member. I posted a lot of pics and prices on everything and got 190 views in 30 minutes and several interests.

Please explain


I edited my other ad and changed everything to the new items I am looking to sale. Is there any way to get it closer to the beginning of the for sale forum? It is several pages back due to the old ad that I had. I could not figure out how to delete the old and start a new topic...

Thanks in advance!

YOUR TOPIC GOT DELETED BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW ALL THE RULES IN THE FOR SALE SECTION!!! NEITHER DOES IT HELP YOUR CASE TO HIT THE CAPS LOCK KEY AND USE EXCESSIVE PUNCTUATION!!!


Had you asked in a reasonable post actually asking for advice rather than making excuses (like so many tend to do here), I'd have pointed out that you have an ad open and that you need to combine the new items into the old ad. Read ALL the rules, then follow them.

Ok first I followed all steps. I didn't realize that punctuation was an issue and I would like to know how I abused this matter if it was an issue. I had another post from a couple weeks ago an emailed for it to be deleted. I have been an avid membe and even supported this forum by donating to become a member. How was I out of line by questioning information on why it was deleted. I spend a lot of money on equipment and sponsorships annually within many forums and was trying to be a dedicated WRX forum member. I really don't appreciate being talked down to since I have encouraged many to join the site. I have made several purchases in a professional manner. I really wish we could handle this professionally as I am sure you can copy and paste all my comments which were professional and respectful to get others input.
I apologize for my frustration on response to your reply and only want to be fair. I am building a good feedback quickly and would like an explanation as to your comment!!

Again, read ALL the rules. Your violation was clear: only one thread at a time. Also, check rule 9: "Members must close your own AD once the item(s) is sold, traded or no longer available." Also, the punctuation thing isn't an issue...what is an issue is your "WHY DID MY TOPIC GET DELETED??? followed all rules in for sale section!" heading. Obviously you didn't, which is why your topic was deleted. And unless this is your first time using the internets, you surely know that your title is a yelling, accusatory one--hardly representative of respectful and professional conduct. Not the way to get things done.

Capital letters do not mean yelling but rather stating the importance it is to myself while trying to sell something. Ok I did not realize I couldn't post more than one thread in the sales section and you were accusing me based on "Internet grammar and punctuation". If you were monitoring my posts you would see I have a lot of quality equipment. Money is the least to me and people like myself keep forums like this headed in the right direction and you yourself made what I thought was an excellent site horrible by how you treat and talk to Customers/ the way ym

[i]Common rules for e-mail and USENET such as avoiding flamewars and spam are constant across most mediums and communities. Another rule is to avoid typing in all caps or grossly enlarging script for emphasis, which is considered to be the equivalent of shouting or yelling[/i]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette

All caps is interpreted as yelling on forums like this one, and can trigger a response in kind.

Just be mindful of the rules in future ads and you'll be good to go, thanks.

Very simply put it is our intent to create a "safe haven" to buy, sell and trade equipment for Personal Use.
