classified infractions

[rbsangler]

Having just received an infraction for a wts post, that i am sure.....but always could be wrong, followed classified rules. I have a suggestion. If it is not allowed to include the verbage...." like an auction" OR "make an offer", (even when an asking price was provided) in a post in the classifieds, it should specifically state that in the rules posted at the top by Fenway. I swear I have read them 20 times and cannot find it there. Is it possible that it is just assumed by those involved very frequently? Is it inferred? Somehow?
Also,As someone trying to sell an item, is it against INGO classified rules to tell possible buyers what the current offer is......as long as it is all done on privat messaging? If it is against the rules, it should be speifically stated at the top, i swear that i do not find that there either.
Thanks to all the hard work by all of the moderators, i have met several, we all appreciate what you volunteer to do, lets all try and work together to make the site the very best there is.

Just send a PM to the mod and work it out. Posting about it will only bring out those looking to see some drama.

Drama? There's no drama on INGO..

A couple more infractions and you'll feel like a normal INGO member. I got a couple I figured I deserved. I got a couple I didn't think I deserved.
It balances out. I got a way with a couple I should have got nailed on.
Rationally work it out with a mod. It's going to come down to the "Honey vs Vinegar" thing.

So you want to share your mistake with the entire class.
It is an infraction in the classifieds not the end of the world.
Your ad was reported.....I responded.
I posted the rule in your ad so it does exist.
You have not been accused or convicted of a crime.
I was considering removing the infraction.
Now.......not so much.

Infraction = learning curve

Arguing with a Mod = a time out

Calling the Mods out in open forum = sliding down a slippery slope

Protip: If you want an auction to sell to the highest bidder, go to Armslist.com or another AUCTION site. If you want to sell your items at a reasonable price so it moves quickly and you dont have the hassles of shipping to a FFL, auction fees, or worrying whether some jackwagon is gonna shank you and take your stuff, this is the place.

"$xxx OBO" is acceptable. Jacking various members around (even in private) trying to squeeze the last penny out of your item is not. Its bad form. Hell, getting an offer at 2p for X and accepting, then getting an offer 3 hours later for more and telling the original buyer to pound sand is also a jerk move.

Just sell it for what you can and be done with it. This is a message board with a classifieds feature. Not an auction site.

There you go being all logical and making sense. Not quite a Denny award worthy post but towing the line

I just got one the other day just due to a rule change I think since I first started here... It's just like a reminder, not a big deal. Even though mods can see all past things and all have mine have been due to classifieds it's not a big deal. Not like you are causing trouble or then doing the same thing over and over. They are all nice guys, you have nothing to worry about!

Pretty much this... I just try not to screw it up again

It's just an internet forum man.

Why do so many wanna try to make a classifieds experience so complicated? I've done my fair share of deals on INGO without so much as a hint of being in jeopardy of committing a rules violation. It's not really that difficult. Stop making it harder than it needs to be.

Good rant, KG1! It really is a simple matter. Offer the item. Describe it. Price it. Define terms (OBO, Firm, Cash/Trade). Post a photo. Reply to all the lowball jack wagons with a simple, "No thanks." To a low but reasonable offer reply, "X+$50" and wait for the counter offer. Agree and sell for X+$25.

Of course, you could just make it simple all around and just donate it to me. I will give it a good home. Far less hassle.
