Steeps

Wasn't expecting a go to appear so soon, only just paid for stop. Sent a PM on other side as I was on there earlier.

I tried to order a supercharger but the specification had changed to LHD and didn't want to take the risk even though the part code was for RHD. Got any more? Car search didn't work and once in a category it was impossible to filter either by car type or product type once you were in a category. Easiest way to find what I was looking for was to search directly e.g "GT86 brakes" or go through the brands and scroll for what I was looking for.

When was the last time the battery in the fob was changed? If it's getting low the car might only be picking it up intermittently (enough to open a door or power on, but then not picking it up to disable immob). One of my fobs showed yellow key for less than a week before it was completely dead and wouldn't open the door.

The only resolution offered was to ask someone else, which means you were still not happy with me being there. Why would I ask someone else to join again when you would still kick me for the same reason? You could have resolved that but chose not to and for someone wanting to avoid this becoming an argument, that happened when the arguments became numbered. You actually continued to insult me in your first PM to me after kicking me out when I asked what happened and why. I spoke to Jev in PM, I apologised to him for our argument, it got sorted. He reached out when he didn't have to and I respect him for it and I moved on from it. I made one snipe at the group and straight away in one post I'm accused of shitposting when that was my experience of the group.

But it takes at least 2 to argue and the other person this time is you even though this is supposedly against your better judgement... so are you going to kick yourself from the group too because you are arguing and could be an issue? You've kicked other people from the group so maybe you are the issue rather than them? The group does look bad if you boot people before they are settled for your own enjoyment, or if the opinions of 3 people outweigh the majority of the participants, or one admin can over-rule the other 9 when everything is supposedly discussed. The funny thing is the one person who I thought might have had an issue with me being there (once I saw the list in the group) actually apologised for your actions in PM and didn't expect you to do that. This could have been resolved at the time as I said by actually talking to me instead of going straight to the kick button, but straight away after my post on this thread you went on the offense instead of PM, again for someone so determined to take this private you've made no attempt to do so, which means you want this argument to be public in an attempt to justify your actions.

Yes, I didn't reply to the last PM because your final words to me was to ask someone else if I wanted to be re-added which means you clearly didn't want me there or you would have done it yourself. It was you who booted me so it was your issue with me being in the group otherwise someone else would have done it sooner. My comment in this post was just to warn others that they could be booted at any time as your PM to me also mentioned you'd done it to others and I wasn't the only one. You took an issue with my post very quickly and also posted in this thread instead of taking it to PM like you keep asking me to. You say you know better yet still you posted? I do have better things to do with my time including editing a fluffload of photos, but unfortunately I'm working right now rebuilding some servers that I need online for this week and I get a short break every so often waiting for a compile/reboot/restore.

It usually happens when the software is updated, then the admins spend a few days getting things back to looking pretty again

Countless? 1 PM, 1 reply to said PM, then what can be seen in this thread... would hardly call that countless.

It's changed a couple of times this week

You mean your bullying behavior about other members in whatsapp, but because this is an open forum that you can't control you don't like it? Those 3 people who supposedly had an issue with me were right to call me an issue, because I don't take too kindly to being bullied or lied to. You intentionally invited me to the group at that time to cause drama for your entertainment then kicked me out when you didn't get it and you were done. No discussion. Just warning other users who wish to join that this is what happens.

That's a shame, if only there was somewhere else I could post while on my phone so I wasn't clogging up your advert...

1) 3 people supposedly had issues, but no one told me, or thought to ask me, or at least discussed it with me to try and work it out. Considering you keep insisting on PM'ing you my issues no one thought to PM me their issues, instead I was just banned by you. 2) I was not given full disclosure, I had to PM you to ask you why I was banned, you were not forthcoming with the information and tried to blame it on my location even though I am listed in this very thread as being in the area, then blamed the 3 other members, then went on to say all decisions are for the 10 admins of the group but you managed all this in a night. I was only offered the invitation back into the group if I begged for someone else to let me in, you didn't offer it. 3) It was discussed by PM, like it should have been before you acted, again I had to ask because nothing else was mentioned. All I'm doing is highlighting to other potential members that the group isn't as friendly as you're making it out to be and might be kicked with no warning or reason. 4) I'm waiting for server backups to restore so I get a few minutes every so often to read/post. More than happy to keep on posting

Excuses were made, after I had to PM you to ask why I was removed from the group because at the time you gave no reason for it, then tried to make up reasons as to why I was removed. You tried to put the blame on to 3 other people but then went on to say the 10 admins discuss all issues but no one thought it might be an idea to discuss any potential issues with who it might involve? I said I wasn't interested in coming back because you intentionally invited me to the group to cause discussion then when you got bored I was removed and I'm not the only person this has happened to. It is not a group for all and not everyone is welcome because admins can add and remove people as they see fit, there was no discussion. I'm not upset, just saying it how it is.

They'll also kick you for no reason at all then try and blame it on some other bullshit excuse. Everyone welcome!

Unless you're running late again

Are they going to serve food this time?

this is a post from my phone, with a photo of this thread taken from my phone just now, uploaded to this thread. No external hosting, no wizardry. now I will edit my post, my location is Bedfordshire and this advice is priced as free. Job done

I have recommended a different site, it's called UPLOAD YOUR IMAGES TO THIS ONE! It even works on a phone! If you actually read my posts rather than insulting me you will see I have mentioned it multiple times.

Considering all your imgur links are photos from your phone... why not attach the images directly from your phone as you said you post from your phone then there wouldn't be any issues? If a simple goldfish user can work this out why can't you? If you spent more time posting photos instead of insulting me, I wouldn't have any comeback and wouldn't be able to moan about your threads

I never said post it publicly. I'm attacking your thread, your character is doing the rest of the work itself by trying to defend posting awful listings instead of fixing the situation. And yes, I wouldn't let anyone drive my car without knowing they have a valid licence and at least DOC 3rd party on their insurance because it's my neck on the line if there is an incident and they try to pass the buck on to me as they were not covered, and I wouldn't expect anyone to let me drive their car if they didn't trust I had insurance in place. Those are legal requirements to drive on the road and it scares me you would expect otherwise.

If you'd listed that your items had postage included in the price it might have been a bit clearer . Also I would never buy an item off someone without knowing their address just in case there are any issues and I had to contact the seller. Again, it's about trust and if you won't provide an address to help resolve issues then in my opinion you have something to hide.

OK I take that apology back. Considering how easy it is to upload a photo from a phone and you post a lot from your phone, I think you're the one who's "goldfished" with not being able to upload pictures properly, post location or even remember where your threads are as you keep recreating them every 3 weeks instead of bumping the ones you already have.

I don't usually doubt the quality and availabilty of the products in for sale threads, but (not including the deleted ones) 24 for sale threads in 6 months is excessive in my opinion for a "normal" user buying parts supposedly for their car and selling on. That to me is either someone selling on making a quick buck from other member's generosity or very poor at researching what products they actually want for their car. Then it's the disregard for the rules. I am actually surprised on how lax car forums are when it comes to classifieds, most other forums I use insist all deals including delivery/pricing and agreements are published in the thread to protect both parties should there be an issue and also to keep other members updated on what is still for sale, especially when they are cross posted between both forums. In the last shitstorm it came to light one product might have only been on his car for a week to test but it had been on someone elses for months before that. Ignoring admin comments regarding pictures then having a strop, I'm not at all tech savvy when it comes to mobile usage and modern forums but I just tried to create a post on my phone, selected "attach files" and it allowed me to upload all the photos to a thread that I wanted from my phone storage, inserting a gallery is more complicated than adding a handful of recently taken photos. 24 threads and there's usually a comment about photos or some other missing information, you would think after posting so many that eventually one of them would have the right information posted first time. Classifieds is about trust and you've had a few people give you feedback on past sales, but that's feedback no one else sees because you deal in private and don't keep your threads updated. I was interested in a few items but the lack of effort and attitude (and multiple threads posting the same items) has genuinely put me off, then when I saw the price hike on the fenders that was enough for me to not trust your intentions. I'm sorry for being part of the thread de-railing, if you were on ebay you'd want the best pictures and description to make your products sell but here all you're doing is re-listing the same items using galleries that break and not much detail on the history of each product, then having the same strop when admin calls you out on the rules.

I need a picture of it first and the location of the item

Got time to call me a weirdo but no time to embed pictures. Got it. I only repeat my narrative as often as you repost your for sale threads with the same content, usually lacking organised pictures and location Surely it would be easier to create one really good for sale thread with detailed pictures and location, then keeping it updated with what has sold and what hasn't, then every so often bumping it up to the top than it is to keep on re-creating them over and over again while missing the basics?
