Hi everyone,

To be honest, There is one thing i HATE about this forum along with others sometimes and its time wasting posts ...

Such as,


pitty you didn't live in XXXXXXX i'd be all there


If you were in XXXXXX i would have bought them for sure

Or even posts like,


Yep agreed (After several other members have already agreed)

Instead how about your write,

Can you ship the fish to adelaide?

Can you ship the fish to sydney?

Or say you agree but then throw in some piece of information that hasnt already been stated?

Now i know i myself have posted usless comments, but I'm not doing it every post like some ...

I think the rules should be made a little more strict in regards to useless posts like this ..

Just my humble opinion,

Sam :)

I'll get the idiot post out of the way for you as I'm sure you were expecting it

The main area for this issue is the Classifieds.

There are already guidelines in place for this, I guess maybe some accounts may need there access removed unless something improves???

Agreed!

As a buyer, I am not interested in if you can do it cheaper, or if you think the fish are expensive etc

If you have opinions on the "percieved" value of the "goods" in general start a new post in another part of the forum if you have anything to say.

Do not knock the seller!!! Even if it is suppose to be a joke! Not everybody visits the forum regularly and might not be aware of the friendly banter and take your comments literally!

Just my opinion

Agreed, 100%

All we ask for is some courtesy and consideration.

If you strongly believe that something is over priced, etc, say it in private, that is what the PM feature is for.

because its a valid point, some people probly havnt been involved in interstate shipping of fish and probly have no idea how much it is :roll: :roll:


very nice fish but i hate to say what a terrible photo pitty you didn't live in adelaide i'd be all there

IMO thats a time wasting post

i guess im not allow to name anyone, but im not stupid and many of you are not aswell, but i noticed there were so many of those post " those are beautiful fish, i'll take it if you are in sydney" that i thought to myself, if i do the exact post aswell and see what happens. and i am surprise i was targeted. i guess its who you know!
double standard.
have no worries, if theres any irrelevant post from now on, i'll point it out!hahaha

oh and you want to start quoting about the silly time wasting post heres one you posted in the clasified section yesterday if thats not a time waisting post what is


Thats a great price !! Goodluck with sale & you should have no trouble selling them ...

I sent you a PM last night letting you know what was going on,

My message,


Hi,

Just wanted to let you know i was not directing my thread in the Amazon lounge at you ... i quoted you because i couldnt find another message in time ..

Please dont take any offence to it as i know you are not one of the time wasters out there,

Sam

Your reply,


thats fine im not really into the discus forum that much and would'nt have even found it you hadn't pointed it out only come on here to see what discus are for sale

5mins after you replied to my PM you then post this in this thread,


oh and you want to start quoting about the silly time wasting post heres one you posted in the clasified section yesterday if thats not a time waisting post what is


Thats a great price !! Goodluck with sale & you should have no trouble selling them ...

Whats the deal mate? :ug Are there two people using your username or what? :?


im sure there is a particular person being pointed at ........
but not being named
am i right????

Yes your right .. There are people who are regular offenders of this crime :lol: , but this was directed to every member of this forum to see if i am the only one who gets annoyed when reading posts like,


I wish you lived in sydney

I was after people's input i was not trying to have a go at anyone ...


The main area for this issue is the Classifieds.

There are already guidelines in place for this, I guess maybe some accounts may need there access removed unless something improves???

This may be the answer Pro, however by doing this we could ruin the laid back atmosphere we have here at DF.com .. It would mean deleting every post that steps a toe out of line like on ACE forums ...

:oops:

Spot on! I was once told that a tank i was selling was to expensive by some people who really wouldn't know what was too expensive and i didnt get one reply to my add after that!


yeah i do agree with that being a time wasting post but as you can see by how long i've been joined and how many posts i've had i dont really care to get more posts ive posted 17 posts in 5 months so something makes me think im not delibratly posting crap to get more posts unlike your 700 posts in about the same time :-k :-k :-k

I really do not see the big problem here .. :? You say its fine and you don't care .. then you completely let fly in the thread? It doesnt make sense mate .. :ug Please only say something CONTRUCTIVE in this thread as that what it is here for ... I made it clear in my PM i sent that i knew you were not a person who wastes time ...


I know this seems to go against the grain of this thread by even posting (no offence to the author) but my God its good to see that the mentality of dont post anything unless its actual help or advice (self proven or researched) isnt just something I believe in, nice one mcloughlin2 :wink:

Thanks mate .. & i do not class you post as time wasting as you had some of you own input .. :P


all i was saying is im not out there to increse my posts as i dont really care how many i have and as far as i can see i DID NOT say your posts were invalid so maby you should get your eyes checked :roll: :roll: :roll:

:wink: It did sound like you were saying he was posting useless mesages ...


lol anyway im willing to drop it as its just going to be a pointless arguement an i value my account an position here at DF so i dont want to risk being banned or anything like that over a silly little arguement!

Good idea mate .. :) May i ask whether or not you agree with me though that there are some people that only post time wasting posts? ( I ask because you are a regular member of this forum)


LOL, everyone is having a bad week i take it?

how about: if you dont have anything nice, constructive or helpful to say then dont say anything. period.

if people try to do that then we shouldnt have a problem.

Agreed ... But the problem is there are some trollers on this site ....

I don't believe that is the reason you posted the messgae yesterday .. You did the same thing when GP was selling fish and you posted a seperate FS with exactly the same things GP had for sale just cheaper ..

But please don't take this the wrong way mate .. Im not having a go at you ... :)

So guys, lets keep this simple, and not start a WW3 .. Just post if you agree or not with what i stated in my first post, and whther you feel these posts should be removed if there is a serial offender :lol:

All the best,

I think it comes down to respecting that this is a free forum for all of us. It is generously maintained for our benefit and the discus-keeping community by Proteus - we should all respect his rules and wishes for the forum.

That said, there needs to be a little give and take with the rules which we all currently have, so I think the current system for the forum is working well.

I personally dont see any problems...

hey everyone.
i have here a pm which goldfish sent to me a couple of days ago when i was having a chat to him about getting up to no good in EX-AI's classifieds.

notice the BOLDED lines ;)

so goldfish... whats your explanation for this?





look, i didnt start any trouble with EX AI!
isnt it rude of him to comment back the way he did when i asked him if he is willing to post interstate?
im not going to buy the fish from him, i have hundreds myself. i was asking because i know there are friends who might be interested!
for him to say im **** him around is crap!
even though he didnt say ****, but we all know what he meant when he typed ****.

and also from previous for sale post i put up, whats with him accusing me of copying his post? and whats up with also accusing me of being the account Diamond or thar method22 guy, thats just ****!
why not you ask EX AI what his problem is with me?

im not trying to be rude to anyone, if he cant take it that he feels im rude, it is not my problem.
no one else has a problem with me!

(After several other members have already agreed)

Instead how about your write,

Or say you agree but then throw in some piece of information that hasnt already been stated?

Not exactly in line with what your saying now, but its similar .. I complimented the seller, as i believe his price was keep and the fish were nice ...

But i was the first one to do so ... Now if there were 3 or 4 other members that had already of posted a compliment and i did, i would class that a time wasting post ... :P

Well, it's a pity this thread didn't stay locked, because I just noticed that one of the alleged time wasting posts complained about was I think one of mine " Yep agreed " I'm sorry you feel " Yep agreed " as wasting time, but in my opinion a " Yep agreed " reply idicates another person {me} was in agreeance with a subject.

The way I see it the more people who indicate an agreeance with a topic the more assured they can be they have recieved the right advice, and often to add more advice on a subject is just repeating the same info.............sorry if being helpfull and friendly annoys you, I'll refrain just to please you ...........have a nice day !!! :x
