Also of note is how many of those that swear off INGO still post here. Its like they can't NOT post.
My favorite part of INGO is watching everyone argue with themselves like they are trying to fool us into thinking that they are not really the same 50 people posting from different accounts... YOU ARE NOT FOOLING ANYONE!!

Crazy to say and admit, but I'm a Moderator and Super Moderator on two other high-traffic forums and daily visit 6 or 7 total...
And INGO has definitely become my Go-to forum when I just want to kill time or get engaged in a good read or two.
Rock on,

Why should it be so black and white that we either have to swear off this site forever or make it our homepage with nothing in between?
I wasn't referring to folks who simply prefer other websites-- that's just fine.
I was speaking of those who will go to great lengths to speak out about how "terrible" INGO is, but then turn around and spend the majority of their online time here. These are the folks that swear off INGO but keep coming back.
Obviously there are varying levels of participation from every member.
I am not saying that this site is a terrible place, just that I don't fit in here and that I would prefer to be able to come here occaisionally rather than be banned forever.
So does that include deals you agree to terms to in regards to buying or selling from a member on said site too?
If you found it difficult to post and still stay within the rules then I certainly understand your hesitancy. I can respect your decision to keep it low key. I wish more people could self-diagnose like that and adjust their participation accordingly.
Illustrative of my point: Earlier there was a thread that was quickly deleted wherein a member was compaining that he was being banned as a result of someone else's post.
He bumped his ad early. When a staff member politely PM'ed him about it (NOT infracted him, I might add), he ran over to INS to start a thread complaining about it. As part of that thread, an effort was mounted to troll INGO. During that process, he again bumped his ad in violation of the Classified rules. The participants involved had their access revoked as noted above. When he asked why, he was told. He didn't like the answer. When he sent another message again demanding more information, he rage-quit when we didn't respond fast enough for him. He cannot claim innocence and that he was "banned for someone else's actions" because that is patently false. At no time were his PM's either ignored or lacking a response (except for the last, as noted).As I understand the problem he posted something in the classifieds and another member started posting in his classified thread every hour or so, thus "bumping" it. Allegedly the person who started the thread got banned from the classifieds as a result of the other member's posts. When the guy who got banned asked for an explaination he did not receive a reply.
Of course not.Should I be concerned about posting in the classifieds? Can another person who doesn't like me bump my classified thread and get me banned? Can I bump another member's ad and get them banned?
You were misinformed.Why no response when the guy just asked for an explaination of what the rules are?
