I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that ANYONE looking to spend over 100k on a hauler will be looking in THE CLASSIFIEDS, because people with 100k to spend are usually smart. They understand that Classifieds are for selling things and FORUMS are for discussing things.

Nice rig,wish I hit the lotto I'd buy that rig.

Thanks for stopping by the forum

Tod74 11-05-2010 05:05 PM

You know guys, I was about to tell the original poster that advertising in the forum isn't allowed. We have been over this many times. We blasted littlerod for it over and over again. Then I tried to find where it says "NO POSTING ADS IN FORUM" and I could not find it. As a matter of fact, I couldn't find any forum rules posted.

For all the times we've got on people's case for it..is there anywhere that actually says what can and can't be posted? I can't find it if there is.

topsportsman1 11-05-2010 05:10 PM

The way Autounion posted his add is acceptable.

Its the guys coming from ebay,and forum written for sale adds is whats not allowed.
This is Racing Junk correct?And its a Racing Junk add that Autounion wants to discuss.

So with that said,I'd say no violation as far as I can see,thats just my opinion here,others may vary :oops:

Good p;oint but now we are goinmg to have every guy with an ad posting a new thread in the forum directing us to his ad. That will turn the forum into a bunch of threads "HEY LOOK AT MY AD HERE" it is NO different than what LITTLEROD used to do.

I respectfully disagree that he wants to discuss his ad. He is trying to draw more attention to it.

But you are the boss.

Well you are right but at the same time, that wasn't Rudy's ad. In that case I believe he was just trying to discuss the extremely high price of the part.


As I said, you are the boss. No skin off my teeth I just would hate to click on "view unread posts" to see a big list of threads started only to direct us to members ads.

It is now established that this is allowed so I will stop busting people's chops for doing it. I thought it was against rules. My apologies.

shawnp 11-05-2010 05:23 PM

I have to agree wit Tod here. This is a discussion forum, not the classified ads. You will end up with people spamming the forums and putting all kinds of crazy posts all over. What's the purpose of the forum if it ends up flooded with for sale items that we have to wade thru in order to read non-sale topics?

I know that the posting rules for a classified state that the ad must go into a section that directly pertains to the item being sold. Is this the RV Forum?

topsportsman1 11-05-2010 05:34 PM

Some people just don't get it I guess

Shawn people in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks

topsportsman1 11-05-2010 05:35 PM

Lets get back on track here guys.

Really??? Want to clarify that comment?? I don't have classifieds posted in your forum.

I believe he is talking about me. I participated in that thread he linked. That was a thread that Rudy started about a craigslist ad.

jmo

I am sorry if I opened up a big can of worms here guys.

topsportsman1 11-05-2010 05:48 PM

Did I strike a nerve Shawn? I must have

shawnp 11-05-2010 05:56 PM

No, not really Tom but when people want to point a finger at me I surely would like them to be able to lay out a reason they want to point fingers. Again, no classifieds posted in your forums.


Thanks for the clarification. Tod..

Tom, are you pointing a finger at me? If not, I apologize for the post. It just seemed to be you were pointing a finger at me.

In my eyes this is a back door way of spamming an add onto the forum. jmo

BEAST477 11-05-2010 06:51 PM

I say just ignore it...it will go away. :idea: :roll:

hollowayshotrods 11-05-2010 06:56 PM

You would be correct Tod. It was NOT my ad I posted, just shocked at the price is all. I fail to see the comparison in the two threads myself.

TheYellaBrick 11-06-2010 06:36 AM

Seems that the mods are awful touchy here lately..........??????
What happened to calm open discussion without accusations or at least FACTS to back up any accusations ?
WHY is this particular thread even being blown out of proportion ? We're all starting to sound like a bunch of grade school kids instead of the adults, fellow racers and good friends that we are.
Time to gather it up and take another stab at it to make this a good run !
:D :D

I can't believe you are selling that car.

I did not mean to start a big mess. I thought this type of thread was against the rules. I WAS MISTAKEN. Just lock it up now before another mess gets going.

edited for spelling.

Harbone 11-06-2010 10:51 AM

Everythings for sale! I love the car but I feel like a retiree driving it! besides the decent exhaust note the car is like driving a caddilac. I miss rowing gears and sqealing tires. I have a guy in St Louis I am meeting next week, he has a numbers matching 73 Trans Am 455/4-speed car he has owned for 20+ years. He is about to retire, wants an older automatic car with AC and I want a big block 4-speed. So who knows, might have a new toy just in time for winter!

I agree but I think theres something else going on here. The subject of the forum posting was "Racing Rig for sale!!!" that to me is a blatant ad. Now any other time on here people get there wrists slapped for doing the same thing. His post didnt say "what do you think of my rig" or "lets discuss my hauler" so why did the Mod get into the people who were trying to correct the issue? I am not trying to start things either but it seems to have gotten out of hand on here lately.

Tod74 11-06-2010 12:58 PM

I have no problem with Tom's decision that this is ok. I'm surprised by it, but he and Brian are the ones put in place to keep this place running like it should.It's their call,not mine. I'm sorry I started trouble.

topsportsman1 11-06-2010 01:08 PM

Todd
You never started any trouble here,most of these people crying here have short term memorys.

mopar1968 11-06-2010 02:03 PM

Oh i am fine with their decision, They run this. I am just cunfused by it. JMO Mark

Theautounion 11-06-2010 04:41 PM

i wouldnt have posted anything if i knew it was going to make Tod mad. Sorry, "King of the Forums"!!!! ill just have it deleted so he and everyone else that is offended by it can stop losing sleep over it.

I really just dont get it, are you that bored?
