Doesn't Have Anything Better to Do???

WTF Longball, nothing better to do? Once the Anderson subforum in the selling section gets set up, then there's no reason to post selling threads in here. But until that time, WTF????

Ya, I figured until we got that section set up we'd get some leeway. Apparently not. I'm not too upset though, my "Price Check ;)" thread got my bat sold in all of 15 minutes.

Watch out. . . they could banfract you for that. You're supposed to give equal opportunity for folks to buy your bats.:rolleyes:

Which I think is ironic. The whole "don't sell the bat if you aren't comfortable with it" idea can easily be applied to keeping it within a group of guys. Really, though, I was just looking for a value and someone contacted me about it and we worked out a deal. :D And, for the record, it wasn't an Anarchist either.

Not to mention, I've seen a number of COMbats listed as "$XX to a COMbatant, $XXX to everyone else."

I really couldn't care less, except that I was told by a mod essentially that "everyone should have equal opportunity to buy what you're selling" and that's why we're no longer allowed to list selling threads (or even link them) here.

But, you know, God forbid we link a thread, while Bobby Buggs is eliminating evidence of abusing his mod power and keeping almost anything negative out of the Evil section. Those selling threads drive business off so much more than a power-crazy mod. Glad we have our priorities straight...

Why are you still worked up over that?

Eh, I just hate when people in positions of "leadership" turn a blind eye to obvious stuff like that because of relationships, business (as is the case here I assume) or otherwise. More than anything, to me it stands out as an example of misplaced priorities. Bringing business to the store is the main drive behind everything on the website. Which is going to drive sales away from the store more; our "selling" threads or his behavior?

I've addressed this once before but I will happily do it again. None of the others manufacturers sections are allowed to sell/trade or LTB in the discussion forums and neither is the Anderson forum. I am not an Anarchist and never come in here unless someone reports that there is something being sold in here. I have nothing against Anderson products I just don't use them and it's nothing personal, if the other forums aren't allowed to buy/sell those then those same rules apply to everyone forum. If you guys think that this section is the only one that has posts deleted or moved then you are completely wrong, you just see it more often because you spend more time here than the other manufacturers sections.

This is nothing against the Anderson guys no matter what you guys seem to think, there are rules that are set in place by the people that own this site and how they want things organized and there is to be no buying/selling in the discussion areas. If a member complains that there is thread in the wrong section it will be moved or deleted by a MOD. The same rules apply for EVERY manufacturer on this site no matter how big or how small. Just because you don't like the rules doesnt' mean they don't apply to you, there are 30,000 active members on this site if everyone was allowed to just ignore the rules because they didn't like or agree with them this place would be chaos and nowhere near as great as a site that it is. You guys act as if this is a personal attack against you guys and we are showing favortism to the other companies when it's the exact opposite. Ask yourselves this, how many of the other companies are allowed their own trading thread in the discussion forums?
So until the Anderson selling forum is up and running everytime someone reports that there is something being sold/LTB in here then the rules will be enforced.. Again this isn't malicious, vendictive or power tripping on mine or any other MOD's part these are just the rules that we are asked to enforce...

I guarantee this is personal... you haven't trolled any of the other sections and done this. Why did you delete my price check thread???... it was not a selling thread.

Here's some more threads for you to troll.


OH... and while you are enforcing the rules... I suggest you get rid of your AVY and SIGPIC.

Nothing is personal, I didnt' even know you were a member here until 2 weeks ago. I didn't delete your price check thread, I deleted your selliing thread. I am not a MOD in the Open Fast Pitch board so I don't go in there to see any of those and unless they are reported then I dobut anything will be done about them...

My question to all of you......what makes you guys different than other sections? Longball is just upholding the rules like he's supposed too. I'm getting with Sonic to get your section done. I thought it would get done sooner than it did, but he had some personal issues come up. If you have any more questions flame away to me not Longball, he's just doing what he is told, and what the written rules say. Thanks

Stop doing the honorable thing and taking bullets for everyone around here. People will start to think you're a nice guy or something.

Personally most MODs get all high and mighty about the power they wield. I did say most Jeff so don't get your thong in a bunch. Why wasn't there a selling place for Anderson in the first place? An oversight? I think not. It really doesn't take much time to set up the selling section. There are bigger problems with the trolls and cyberpunks that take away from the integrity of this site than someone trying to sell a bat. MODs might consider a little personal tact when it comes to deleting threads like this. A simple PM asking the OP to remove the thread would be a start.

I say you should puff up your chest do whatever makes you feel like you're contributing. I get it, you're just doing your job. Rules are rules. If somebody didn't enforce them, there would be anarchy. The last thing we should be allowed is the freedom to effectively express what we want where we want in an open forum where anybody can visit. My God, what a nightmare!

BTW: Heinrich Himmler was just doing his job too. Ijs

Total anarchy...


Selling posts randomly distributed throughout the forums.

I mean, we are Anderson Anarchists.
