I have noticed that when someone forgets the "rules" and posts a direct link/reference to an item elsewhere - especialy Ebay - mods are quick to intervene.


What remains, however, is the title line and the comments added by relevant moderator.

An example from this evening:

Reason: Sorry but eBay cross-postings not allowed even when helpful.
If I was a desparate person, trying to get a sale, I would be extremely happy with the continued presence of this basis information at LFPF. And I would make sure the title said it all!

Couldn't we have a total deletion system not to encourage planned misuse?
I realise this mail will have to be deleted too, so as not to perpetuate the misery!
