thanks for deleting my classified ads!

thanks for deleting my classified ads for no apparent reason.

the only thing I can think is that because I had 2 ads, 1 for a frame and another for a small hope head doctor.

I would have put them into 1 ad, but for reasons (I understand why are in place) but are sometimes not practical - you can't edit ads or titles!

so I put the head doctor in another ad otherwise people wouldn't have known I was selling it unless they looked at the frame!

this is the second time an ad has been deleted of mine :x

I've had the same problem, the lack do edit button is a pain. Even if it was to update the thread title or add a subtitle it would be an improvement

I always advise people why threads are deleted or merged, in this instance I wasn't involved, but I do know that Nick is absolutely snowed under at the moment, but the rules clearly state the following: -

One thread for ALL sale items. If you have more to sell UPDATE an OLD thread.

Copy of the rules can be seen Here

If you ever need to have the title edited, then just flag up using the red exclamation button and we'll edit the title, we do it all the time, so there is no problem asking for the title to be changed ( as long as it will fit).

Hope that helps?

it does now, but I was unaware I could ask for a title to be changed! what a PITA just to add another item for sale though.

I had the same problem the other day. Someone merged my threads and then someone else deleted it altogether!

In your instance you started another thread when one existed and the topics were merged, then you bumped it and asked for offers. Bumping and asking for offers after the first post is a no no because to my mind it says that your advert is more important than everyone else's, so I just try to play fair.

I will try and help people but when they have totally ignored the rules in the first place, then it does get tiring, I like to get out and ride my bike, not spend all my time correcting adverts when people haven't even read the rules before placing them.

If people are unsure then they only need to ask here or send a PM to one of the mods or admin team, it might not be the answer you were looking for but I always try and reply quickly if I am at the computer.

Sorry. The two threads were created several days apart and I didnt realize that I could request a title to be edited to include additional items. Also, I asked for offers on one thread and price dropped the other. They were then merged by someone else, so I guess it just looked like I'd bumped it to the top. It won't happen again!

Thank you for reading the rules and following them. As you will see your advert has not been removed, all that has happen is what is stated in the rules.
