I seen a post last night on the sell forum which had a Losi 8ight T E for trade, i asked him if he would sell it, he contacted me and we worked out a deal but his post is now gone? The post was made by Losi23..

Just curious why it was deleted, i am trying to follow the steps here for trading by adding that it was sold and i was going to add that payment is sent to keep good track of the deal..

Any help is greatly appreciated..

He might have broken some of the seller forum rules. Some offenses can get your ad deleted without warning.

I say bull, every ad that gets deleted, the posted should be contacted.

It says right in the rules if you bump your post more then once per day it can and will get deleted with out any warnings! Everyone should read the rules for where they are posting. Not saying that is why it was deleted but could be why.

Yes it was deleted because his thread violated forum rules, and we'll leave it at that.....

You are absolutely correct

Read the rules, a user does not have to be notified about their post being deleted. However at times they are it all depends on the moderator...If you don't like it then take it up with an Admin......

Once again you are absolutely correct, its nice to know that some users actually do read the forum rules.......

I was just making sure it wasn't because of a past history that may have went sour, thanks for the reply.

If a post is deleted, moderators have the ability/authority to undelete or view the post if something should go wrong with your deal (not as described, etc.)

Not needed, this can all be done through pm's, and is probably the better way since it will not bump the thread to the top. If seller's would just edit the ad to show sold, it would be better for all.

If it's not needed and discouraged, maybe remove the sticky saying to do so lol..

I don't see anything in that sticky that tells you to post that info in a for sale thread. It's not needed and is a pain in the backside when people do. Send it via PM and the seller can simply EDIT..I said EDIT the original post to reflect what's going on, no need for the seller to post, bumping the thread.

I guess we are talking about two different things, it clearly states..

Which is what i was talking about and trying to do..

Sorry for the confusion all is good now..

wow that's a really old thread. I edited that out. There's no need to post that info, even though people do. It's up to the seller to update their thread with the EDIT button.

Yea, i wasn't sure so i was just going by what i read on here.. Being an owner of several forums myself that stay fairly active with a large member base, i understand how it can be when trying to keep everything up to date lol. I probably have a ton of updating and editing to do myself actually i just don't want to think about it lol, id rather keep buying more RC's haha!!

But yea..

I run PHPBB on my forums, im thinking about converting one to vBulletin though because i like the SEO capabilities..
