Admin: Could you please point to where the forum rules can be found and also clarify which rule(s) was broken?
When I first saw the post, I looked and looked for the forum rules. After few minutes, I could not find them, so I stopped . BTW, I run a very locked down version of Firefox.
So, my version/mods/add-ons to Firefox may have something to do with me not finding the forum rules in a few minutes.
In general, it's against most forum rules to "offer products for sale" (unless in designated areas). Obviously, there are gray areas.
On the interweb, I was on the email mailing lists (using listservers) for various car models "way back before time".
Then, the initial POS "first/second generation forums" on the web.
And now, forums like these. Yes, I've been around since the Mammoths roamed the earth.
In the car forums, there are often posts like "Ported heads for sale, low mileage" in the tech/lounge areas. Unless those posts get locked asap, the forums eventually get many people per day posting "for sale" threads in the tech/lounge areas.
What makes it even worse is that there are a number of specific areas setup so that people can sell/buy between each other - with no ebay/etc fees.
But, many more people view the lounge/tech forums. So, people will post "For Sale/What's It Worth" threads in the tech/lounge areas to get more exposure. IMHO, it's a massive PITA!
