Use classifieds pls (was dodgy post about Hardtop for Sale)

Post by roadsterfan » Wed Dec 18, 2013 7:37 pm

This hardtop is in absolutely as new condition. Has been stored in the garage with covers protecting it for the last couple of months.
Has a heated rear glass window.
The car it came off unfortunately is no longer with us, after a truck pulled out in front of it. The hardtop was not on the car at the time luckily..
Have not got the fitting clips from the car. The Insurance company now owns them..
Please ring Graham on Auckland 092673886. Pick up is in Weymouth Manurewa.

Hi there - I am roadsterfan.

My first post is going to be exploiting this forum to sell the hardtop that I no longer require instead of posting it on trademe because I want to save every last quarter and rape anybody that wants to buy this with a stupid asking price.

I also am totally sick & tired of members placing adverts for spoliers, cars etc & now roofs in the General Forum.

For me, it ruins the forum in general, just knowing that our members do so repeatedly.

Its got to stop, we're losing good contributors for a fact.

Why don't the moderators do their job, its a general forum, there is a For Sale forum somewhere else, move the posts there soon as they pop up & warn the member.

As if he/she selling this roof didn't know full well it was entirely inappropriate.

Basically giving us all the finger.

Replies like that Chris make this place look like an immature shithole that will make less and less people interested in this community.

There's a reason this forum isn't as active as it used to be.

Cordedbowl - yes my response was immature, but at least I am able to read the forum and come to a conclusion as to whether or not this topic is suitable to be posted in General MX5 Chat or not.

I have nothing against Chris in real life, we actually get along, but there is far better ways to deal with these issues and this isn't one of them, but as 2low said the moderators are slack.

It's annoying having not-so-subtle advertising for a rooted white NA in the general thread etc.

I know many were unhappy off at the white NA being advertised in our general forum... the worst thing, is that these paticular people, are seen to use the General Forum to advertise private 'For Sale' items repeatedly.

Have the mods removed the posts advertising the white NA yet?

Hello, happy to make pretty much anyone a mod, PM me if keen.

Unfortunately moderators get busy and they usually start off fine but mod less over time, that is life. But if you have time to complain about lack of moderation then you should probably put your hand up.

I have standards though... with power comes responsibility as mods are there to quietly manage and be diplomatic...

... people who look like they are not old enough to drive by the quality and lack of usefulness in their past posts, I'll probably pass on thanks.

Also, call me old fashioned but swearing, blaming, name calling just isn't necessary here, you have facebook and youtube for that. Posts like that I normally don't delete though, I just leave them to be indexed by search engines as they speak for themselves over time. People can change though so if you might have been a bit bullish in the past but still have a lot to offer - let me know too.

some random end of year facts for you:
- our server was down for 12 hours yesterday... sorry about that (not our fault!)... hopefully somebody noticed
- the MX5forum gets an average of 22,000 visits and 850,000 page views per month.
- my mx5 is getting a warrant on Saturday... after not having one for 4 months as I hadn't gotten around to it.... Hooray
- I have a hard top for sale, $2000 ono (no not really...)

Zorruno! You need to post more :D

I'm thinking a meet between xmas and new year? A bbq somewhere?

Would be good to have an informal catch up with everyone.

Is your price negotiable? (Yes, I know you were kidding)

I must admit I havent been on here in a while.

As for the moderators, I am one but we do not have huge amounts of power(Banning, single forum moderation etc) which is probably a good thing or Chris would have been gone 4 times already :lol:

If you do see something up, go to the top of the forum and see who the moderators are. Send one of us a PM if you have a concern and then we can deal to it. PMs give email notifications and then if we are busy having a life we can jump on and help out.

It's 'cause you're off your game. You've got to work hard to stay at a big number like that, and frankly, you just haven't been very offensive lately.

Tell me to pull my f*cking head in, and I'll give you one, ok?

Thanks Furai, appreciated. The people who have sent me PMs, thanks - will get back to you when I have a spare mo.... 'real-job' deadlines looming currently.
