FJR and Bird Commander
As some of you will have noted I placed an ad in the for sale section for a couple of close mates bikes.
I also placed these on the Triumph site and the CBR600 site. along with Bikers Oracle Central.
Some reprobate going by the name of GOFF simply deleted the ad in the CBR6 sit without any warning, in adition to this both ads have been removed from Bikers Oracle Central.
I think he might have taken exception to being called an Ar*eh*le though I doubt it would have been the first time with the way he moderates....
Soup Dragon edited the popst on the St site, and at least has the common sense and decency to post a reason for this.
He states as detailed in the attachment that "Forum rules mean adverts go on Central not here, and that only Sponsors can use that facility and cannot sell bikes for others.
So If I am not a sponsor, where has my ?15 a year gone? As discussed by Jaws on several occasions it does not go to the Bird site, but to BO.
OK I was up front stating these were friends bikes, and I was trying to encourage them to join the site.
I dont think that will happen now.
I could have placed the ads as being my bikes (who would know?) like I am sure many others do.
I would encourage the moderators and Forum Admins to get together and put in place a fair and consistent policy on these types of issues.
Crap like this really makes me wonder if I should be investing my hard earned in supporting a site that tries to teach loyal members like 5 year olds.
