The New Marketplace Rules are Too Restrictive

[sepiareverb]

Oh dear me what have I done.

Y'know, if keeping information that isn't going to be archived off the forum is worth doing, its worth doing well. And that means purging all of the incorrect nonsense that's posted here. Go to it, moderators, its what you seem to want.

astute observation

I think purging is impractical, so curating information onto the more static LF homepage might be a better option.

I think the non-archival quality of discussions in the FS forums (which may be informative) is a good point.

And that's very much as it should be.

If comments relate specifically to the FS/WTB item, then deleting the entire thread is totally appropriate.

Comments related to an unspecified example of a product should certainly be in other relevant fora.

Oh, come on. The LF homepage needs a good purge too. No half measures!

You're watching a tail wag its dog.

I agree with Leigh. In bad taste.

You may find a sense of humor to be in bad taste, but that is your subjective opinion. I would like to know which exact Forsale Ad rule I broke to warrant deleting my post? If they are deleted based on a matter of opinion, we have a problem because the moderators are not abiding by the rules they have established. Look at this like a lawyer. Which For Sale Ad rule did I break?

It's Midnight at the Oasis, Maria Muldaur is singing that right now to me.

If you want a legal battle do it next Tuesday AM.

Please!

I wasn't the one who deleted your ad, but the decisions of the moderators are final.

Your insistence on having an explicit rule violation to justify what was clearly intended to antagonize the mods is exactly the point I have made several times in this thread. When we try to leave the rules loose, people cry crocodile tears when we delete something as a matter of discretion, demanding that we have an explicit rule to justify the deletion. Please try again, but without the chip on the shoulder.
