    Looks to me like you've started about seven new threads, mostly on the same subject.
    That would be my guess.

    never been on sight quite so strict
     
  4. They always tell me by private mail. I tried to explain to them and ask for points back and stuff. It never works. Sometimes I censor myself and stay off the site for a few days (will maybe a 1/2 day). They never notice that either.

    I believe they have spies. They can not monitor all the posts. I think somebody must push the little red button that says report. Ryan probably has an alarm go off by his bed so he can jump up and investigate.

    Yep - that was it- posting the same question in about 3-4 different spots. Best place to get that question answered is the Main Board - "Hokey Ass Message Board"- You will probably get 30 or so answers or suggestions.

    Hi Mater -
    Cob here - Moderator

    Looks as if you found us and put your cart in front of the horses.
    First of all - my best advise is to relax and just take some time to look at all of the catagories. Just take some time and click on some sections and posts and see how we do things around here.
    First one is this one
    http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44274

    If you are going to use the classifieds then you need to read this one.
    http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=239459

    As far as being strict - we aren't really. We just have rules set up so the site is organized and catorgorized so people can navigate in a pretty good direction. With over 100,000 members - if we didn't have some rules it would be FUBAR.
    I have been on other sites and many don't have catorgories or rules and they are FUBAR.

    Anyway - just be cool and know that Moderators donate their time and we handle things when time allows so don't leave the garage thinking nobody likes you. Thick skin man.

    There is a initaition and that is if we run into you somewhere and you identify yourself as HAMB'r and we find out you haven't been initiated - be prepared for a wedgie with ducktape underwear. If you don't have tears pulling it out - you are in !

    I am just pulling your chain man -

    If you have questions just send me a Private Message.
    I'll send you one now so you can reply to it if you have questions.
    It will be the blinking envelope in the upper right hand corner.

    Thanks and welcome.

    Corncobcoupe, post #5, said it all. Very nicely, I might add. All these posts seem rather inane (got a dictionary?). Not a good way to start off your H.A.M.B. visit.

    LIke any new part/game/DVR/unassembled bike/etc. you buy...if you can't figure it out, READ the instructions...!!!

    R-
     
  8. I had some members that wrote some mean nasty responses to some of my posts. I was just learning and I still do not know why they were upset but I just ignored them. A couple of members sent private messages and apologized for the other members nasty mean responses.

    I had better luck dealing with the nuns in catholic grade school than dealing with some of these monitors. I just keep on going and they have not attacked me lately. You never knew when the nuns were going to sneak up on you too.

    I enjoy this site and you will too.

    It's called giving you Garage razzing and you might want to grow thick skin to stay here.
    It's just a bunch of guys giving you shit now and then.
    Don't sweat it or take anything personal. Not worth it.
    It's about the cars man.....

    I want to know why this moderator has to delete my post. I've been a part of jalopy journal for years and and have given away more than I've sold. What if I dont have prices? Pisses me off to be a part of something that someone can delete my non offensive thread in hopes of helping some one that needs what I have but may not be able to afford it. Put my thread back on or get with me sa we can discuss this.

    Ok - First of all you have been on here for 2 months and have 6 posts total

    I will tell you exactley why your post was deleted and while your kindness is appreciated, a tone of demand and trending toward a attitude - please don't.
    I will take the time to explain and when I do - you will see that we created these classified rules for everyones benefit and fairness.

    Here is a copy of your ad

    1955 pontiac chieftain 4 door sedan

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Location: Austin Tx Price: Low
    I have a hood in good shape. I have the left and right front fenders left has mild scrape right is great. I have radiator. I have both inner fenderwells. I have most of the front bumper and I have the rear bumper. Rear isnt that great but its not horrible either. I have lots of chrome, dont ask if I have this or that part if you want the chrome you get all that I have for 100$. I have 2 front doors in great shape. Why dont you call me 830-459-5252 I'm feeling very generous right now so take advantage of it! Oh 2 oil bath air cleaners. arm rests ect.ect. My name is Chris 830-459-5252

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now - here is the only price I see
    " I have lots of chrome, dont ask if I have this or that part if you want the chrome you get all that I have for 100$."

    So is that $ 100.00 for all the parts you have listed ?
    and I gaurantee you someone will post -
    how much for this radiator ?
    how much for this bumper ?
    how much for this inner fender ?

    And guess what happens when they post that ?

    EVERYONE elses ad gets bumped down the pages and pisses them off and is that fair to them ?
    No

    Don't believe me ? Look at your post from 10/17
    http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=522291

    Now do you see why we require prices for each item to prevent fishing post questions.
    I don't care if you post your number. Posts are free - calling isn't.
    List 10 items - List 10 prices.

    If you are worried if someone can afford a part - heck put $ 10.00 on each part man.

    I hope you understand this and tone down the pisses you off part - attitudes just are not tolerated.

    Appreciate your generosity - but rules are in place for a reason.
    Please respect that.

    Thanks,

    Cob

    It was bad enough, but it could've been
    even worse! At least he *didn't* use the
    dreaded "R" word and say it was "Rat
    Rod
    "!:eek:<LOL>

    Some people just need to use Craigslist. That site accepts anything. "Rat Rod 4 Sell, Make awfur"
    As for the HAMB, you just gotta glide with the learning curve and take your lumps when you screw the pooch.
