exactly, this forum has just become worthy of selling shit on it and not worth posting in other areas
purely because a mod will have something to say to moderate that post.
sorry but personally i think for such a small forum (50,000 users you say) compared to a large forum (boost or nissansilvia with over a million users) its way to over moderated.
a perfect example was my stolen threads being closed because you class it as spam.
sorry guys but i was NOT trying to sell anything and what you guys ended up doing was allowing theives to better get away with what they did in the other threads because i was not able to further inform anyone within those states of my stolen parts to which you told them to refer back to the qld area. ffs, a majority of wa ppl or sa ppl or nsw/vic ppl wont even touch the qld area cause its not any of there interest therefore, not having a thread or a open thread to which i bumped every now and then as a reminder allowed those theives to sell the gear in other states if they wanted to because no one knew they were buying stolen goods.
either way, end of the day the manifold was found being sold on boost and a person on boost saw my stolen thread and linked me to the sale thread.
funny how bumping a thread allowing everyone within that state to see the stolen thread help lead me to the stolen part.
you guys want to heavily moderate a forum, you wont have the user base for businesses to forsee a reason to advertise on here because you'll just drive those users off to another forum and if it means going back to boost, they'll do that.
right now, your biggest competitor apart from boost is nissansilvia with his subforum sections for skylines and gtroc.
within my business management skills and work i do on a daily bases, i can see alot of people dropping off here and going else where.
its exactly like a ISP... you get poor service from the helpdesk or dont receive what you expect you go else where.
on here, you get over moderated, ppl will head to another forum.
i cant help you guys see it any other way but if you want to be close minded about all this, so be it, i cant help any further.
