Multiple threads in one subforum will also disappear.

"PM sent", "GLWS", "Nice Gun", "Wish you were closer", "pic's", etc. are also prohibited.

Wow, I have never been "scolded" before on this forum. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

So I too had a thread close/locked. Not clear what rule I was violating. Am I responsible for posters commenting in my thread and hence liable to get my thread closed?

Seems a might unfriendly .... but then again, my brief presence on CalGuns hasn't been all that pleasant anyway.

I for one also don't understand the multiple thread issue. IMHO, each firearm should have it's own thread else confusion as to what's available arises.

no, others posting in your thread should not get your thread locked. but, how you respont to those posts might violate the rules.

becuase that is the way the rules are. Because in the past, people would have 10+ different items for sale in the forum and take up an entire page or two with all their stuff, bumping everyone else way down the list. So, because of abuses like that, the "one thread/forum" rule was instituted.

So answering question in one's thread is a violation of what rule? In the thread in question, a poster asked me if my gun was C&R eligible. I replied no. What rule was I violating?

Fair enough. So should I repost my thread? Will you unlock it? How shall I proceed?

24 hour bump rule.

I am just trying to help so please take it that way. Your reply may have violated the 24 hour bump rule in some way and I'm just guessing. However a way to avoid that would be to PM (Personal Message) your reply to the person asking the question. That would not "bump" your thread to the top. Just guessing and trying to help.

[ZirconJohn]

Wow... serious.

Okay... not one for free bumps etc on gun sales threads, have done it a couple 2 or 3 times, nothing on the sly.

Looks like it just got out of control.

Nice job MOD's... you guys have a tough job.

Rules to this are all very clear now, thank you

the rule violated was the 24-hour bump rule. How you should have replied is covered in the rules.

13) Question and Inquiries about products listed in an ad. Most questions and product inquiries can be handled via Private Messages. We expect you to use this feature for all questions and inquiries. If you feel your question or inquiry involves a material aspect of the item being bought/sold you may post that in the thread. The term "material aspect" means one that dramatically affects the value, function, or operation of the item being bought/sold. Any information about the item that was not included initially in the original post, but asked about by another member, should be added to the original post. All offers other than 'I'll take it' must be made via Private Message and do not need verification such as "pm sent", "offer sent", "would you be willing to xxxx".

so, either update the add to say that is not C&R, or PM the user letting him know that it isn't C&R. Unfortunately too many people have abused the system by having friend shill the add with questions like that so that they can respond and get a free bump. some people even wrote their adds specifically leaving out important info, knowing that people would ask about the missing info. They would then respond to each question getting multiple bumps per day.

I appreciate your response and I apologize for violating your rules. The last time I read the rules (about a month ago) this rule was not in effect.

So I ask you, is closing a thread of a poster who has not violated the rules in the past the most effective way to foster good will and communication in CalGuns?

Please understand this has been argued to death and beyond all ready, and no one wants to revisit it. But if you must here's the link to the thread about the change in the rules , you might want to make note of the date of the change:

Just accept the fact that you have to take a time out and they will most likely unlock your thread in a day or two. GLWTS

Fair enough. My apologies. I don't visit Calguns very often.

Well...uh...since he "read" the rules...he should be aware of that...





just saying...
