What a joke :)
« on: August 29, 2008, 10:13:07 AM »

Ok so what is up with some of the mods on here? what a joke! I don't often feel the need to complain but........ a mate of mine got a pm recently about a frame he had advertised on the main build (Coiler), the pm said "don't multi post and as the site was called southern DOWNHILL [dho] didn’t think he should be trying to sell a coiler there and suggested trying stw or fleabay". I mean ffs, its a 6" AM / freeride frame that a) was originally purchased of SDH, b) is not xc and c) thats what that section of the forum is for. So if the forum is only for 6" + DH why the heck are there sections allowing for the sale of street, DJ, bmx, misc cr@p, laptops, peoples grans, cars, mobiles and sub 6" bikes. I would have thought 6" - 8" bikes would have been exactly what the forum caters for... and his ad would be just about the last that should be shoved on ebay or an xc whippet, weight weenies forum! So to anyone who has a street, DJ, bmx or less than 8" travel.......... your not welcome on here. Smiley all in jest of course pmsl

ah feck me I just saw some 120mm forks for sale, and a bmx, doh... and a laptop.... sacrilege

Mate, he said 'don't multi post' that means putting up multiple posts about the same item.

Firstly this is in the wrong section Wink

Second it's their site and they can do what they like

thridly, it sounds like he was giving some good advice. If he was posting more than once then I guess no one was interested and he was pointing out that you're more likely to sell on sites populated more by am/xc riders Wink

who was it? Are you saying it was DHO? I very much doubt he said anything that he didnt have to due to site rules, hes one of the best mods on here and definetly wouldn't prohibit you from selling a coiler on here for the fact its a freeride frame.. As frankly that's ridiculous and hes not that type of person at all.

that is all fine, and that being the case lets cull all the rubbish of xc, dj, street, mibile, laptops, cars, pitbikes etc....... oh and I beielve he was not multi posting in different sections, just putting a new ad on when his hit page 5 and would never be seen again! I am just poit out the one rule for one lot and one for the other, it is either acceptable to sell it on here or not, if not then every other none 8" DH kit should go as well Smiley

He still multi-post by re-posting the ad...

If it reached page 5 with no interest, no one wanted it so take the hint.  Sounds like a perfectly good suggestion that alterative forums might be a better place for your mate to sell his bike

Just because you and/or him are clearly a bit thick and decided not to take the advice doesn't mean he was having a go.

as far as im concerned you can sell any bike on here, like you said, as people sell roadies, bmx's, street, dirt, HT's, full sus, etc. There is no way the type of bike was the problem, he must have done something else wrong. Either that or someones pissing around on carls account.

On the topic of duplicate posts, i thought some of the MODs might like to see this:

(each one of these adverts are selling exactly the same thing, the only difference is the text....)


Post 1: http://www.southerndownhill.com/forum/index.php/topic,163618.0.html
(9th July)

Post 2: http://www.southerndownhill.com/forum/index.php/topic,164272.0.html
(15th July)



Ever so sorry about that i was not aware. although i did add the details of what shock was on it which i thought might be useful information.

thanks for the bump though  Grin

NOW SELLING FOR 300 PLUS POSTAGE (including seat post/clamp)

Self explanatory really.
(taken from the "deleting duplicate posts" thread.)


By any chance is that refering to your mate's "duplicate posts"? If so I can see EXACTLY why [dho] is annoyed! jesus there is what, 7 topics selling the same thing all made within 2 months!!!

pmsl the whole multi post thing I can agree with, the should not be sold on here I dont, how many other bikes and bits have been on this forum for months on end? 100's as we all know there are time of the month when things don't sell as we are all skint waiting for payday......... one month you get no interest the other you get tons....Still at the end of the day the comment "It's a Downhill forum and a coiler should not be on here" makes me chukkle. Funny though taking into account the comments above, just had a look through the FS section, and have seen the same kit I have seen for sale for the last few months...... back up again!..... wonder if they got the same PM? especially those that are not full on DH rigs

These "" are quote marks, anything within them should be what someone said and your quotes from DHO seem to be different each time Roll Eyes

It's not just your friend who clogs up the classifieds with bumps and reposts and all those doing it should stop.  However this is a bike forum and NOT a sales site, the sales boards are there as a bonus.  A polite suggestion to your friend that he may be better served by using other sites is not so stupid!  Maybe if he didn't contravine forum rules so regularly he would not be getting PM from mods.

Case closed.

surely if the frame isnt selling, its not going to be sold as no one has any interest, so he was telling him where else he could advertise it?

maybe it just depends how you read it, and if he was annoyed with the fact your friend had posted it 7 times in 2 months then it may have come across as agressive because he was so annoyed with him.

if that makes any sense....
