Pretty snappy answer to the forum owner/moderator!

Leon was asking because your post read like a "For Sale" ad, and we have a different board for those things. Click on "Buy/Sell/Trade Section" in the tool bar.

Dear Chris,

I will comment whenever I feel like, not just when it's OK with you. I read the title. I also read, and understood, the 30+ posts prior to you popping on with your little ad, for your overpriced Ebay auction.

When I read your first post on this thread, I thought to myself, this guy's using the main board to pump his own Ebay auction. That's not allowed, according to the rules of the board. However, I also thought to myself, it's a close call, because he worded it so that it tries to fit this thread. So I said nothing at the time.

Leon, however, who is THE FORUM OWNER and chief moderator, apparently had the same thought running through his mind, so he called you on it, politely. I'm sure he was going to let it go at that point. (Maybe he still will.)

You, however, then decided to be very witty, and tell THE FORUM OWNER, "Guess you missed it!"

I was merely pointing that that kind of repartee is OK when you're talking to me, probably not so smart when you're talking to the guy who controls whether you continue to spam this board with ads, or whether you go back to where ever you came from.

How's that for my reading and comprehension skills?

Personally, I'd prefer all ads to be on the ad side not this side, but it's not my board (and yours was a little bit subtle.)

Dear JIM , you answered your own question buy saying the way it was worded was ok. I was not promoting my m116's i was stating what the title said,had i been promoting the m116's it would have been on the buy sell trade section. I was not happy with how the FORUM OWNER (LEON) worded it ( sarcasticly) guess i missed it. Everybody should show respect for one another on this board moderator,FORUM OWNER or not. I'm sorry you think that they are over priced,i guess you were an underbidder on this lot last year on REA. If the cards would not have been mine i'm sure there wouldn't have been a problem,sorry i ruffled your feathers. CHRIS

Also i like how you bring up (LEON'S name FORUM OWNER) just to stir the pot!!!

I didn't say it was OK. I said it was borderline. There's a difference that you don't see. You're one of those guys that comes along, uses the board for commercial purposes and then thinks it's OK to skirt the rules. This board is mostly made up of guys who want to talk abour baseball cards. In the year you've been here, almost 80% of your posts are trying to sell us something. You rarely post on the main board, unless it's a contest.

By the way, I agree we should all have respect for items listed on the BST. If you listed yours there, I would have had respect for it. Posts on the main board, that don't belong there, should be pointed out. Leon did that.

And no, I wasn't the underbidder on this lot, or any other M116's. I don't particularly like that set.

And finally, yes, had it been someone else's auction there would have been no problem, but it's not someone else's auction. It's yours and the consensus of the board is that you should NOT use the main page to hype your own Ebay auctions.


Keep up the good attitude. I predict you won't be around long if it doesn't improve.

I didn't know 2 people were a consensus on this board of aprox. 150 give or take a few.

In matters of rules violations I always defer to Jim VB.

A consensus can be 1, if that 1 is the guy who owns the board. But in the meantime, you might want to click on the section called Net 54 Forum FAQ & Rules. From there:


"Posts offering to buy, sell, or trade items should be made in the appropriate Buy/Sell/Trade index. This includes posts for items appearing in on-line auctions like eBay, Mastro, Lipset, etc. B/S/T posts in the VBC Forum will be deleted.

First of all you WERE spamming on the front page, with your ebay auctions. That is not debatable. It is what it is. Secondly, there are a few more than 150 people on this board. We get over 3400 unique IP's a day hitting it. We have close to 2000 registered, real users. That is a bit over 150. Either you can follow the rules or not be here. Either way is fine by me. If you don't adhere to the rules then you won't have the second option. I am sure Jim and I weren't the only ones thinking you were just spamming your ebay sales. Thanks for your time.

ps...yes, since you were spamming your sales I was a little bit sarcastic. It wasn't going any further until you came back with your responses like you didn't do anything wrong.....
