When i asked for help with a count of how many omega 3.2 v6 elite saloons where in service here in the U.K and about how much it a was valued
all i got was deletions and locks on my thread
Is this the way this open community works well apparently this is  Kevin wood's Interpretation.
I have no Intention of selling it here, I even asked a few months ago about selling it here and was
informed about the 250 post rule which I complied with.
Read my post tell me what you think
If i am wrong then tell me
What is a forum for anyway if you have no freedom of speech

Perhaps it was the mention of pictures in the gallery,must admit it looked like a thinly veiled for sale post to me

[welsh_cossack]

YEP THAT'S A VALID POINT

[Mr Skrunts]

No need to shout matey (CAPS)

There is a site some where that lists all cars still in circulation and road worthy (maybe all the taxed ones) but I cant remeber it.



As for you opening post here, the reply from andy was tounge in cheek regards being a car sale, but in all fairness you did hint the car is for sale   (EDit:- sorry your reply regards your post in the other thread)

Freedom of speech, yes with in the rules, the site admin are great and very leanient, but rules were made by us all as a united forum at the time, and yes we all agreed they were the best way to go.

[Kevin Wood]

We do have to moderate a large number of posts worded almost identically to yours from members who are attempting to advertise vehicles contrary to the forum guidelines. We endeavour to moderate all posts fairly, but must do so at face value without the benefit of knowing the posters actual intentions and, regardless of your actual intentions, your post was judged not to comply.

I should say post(s), in fact, because you posted the same text 5 times before being asked to refrain.

Had you simply asked your two questions without mentioning an impending sale then we, no doubt, would not have judged the post to be breaching the guidelines.

..and as to freedom of speech, we try to allow as wide a range of discussion as possible here but complete freedom of speech would not result in the site we have today. Ultimately the boundaries are set by the forum guidelines for a multitude of reasons; some legal, some reflecting our desire to maintain a pleasant "family" site and some to avoid members getting ripped off by those who join up only to sell a car.

Hopefully you can appreciate the reasons behind the moderation of your posts.

Thanks for that.if you do remember the site I would be very grateful
Nobody wants anarchy , but what i did not like is the reply from him.take into account  i am a newbie and I HAVE read the rules
There is a way of conducting yourself and moderators should be above reproach on this point
I Believe if i post  his reply to me here everybody would agree it was terse and authoritarian

If you posted it 5 times I'm not surprised the reply was terse and authoritarian

Ive read your threads....

100% definite sales thread.  You clearly request where is best to advertise!

I have also seem Kevins reply, perfectly in order imho.

fyi....this thread will also soon be deleted, as in effect it too is yet another sales thread.

we see many threads just like yours, and get a little tired of people trying to get around the rules, hence just delete them...most take the hint and realise its a fair cop.

[Johnny English]

Anyway to gather 250 posts is not serious challenge. I reged up here one year ago like you but I have more than 1000 posts supposedly due to being desired a really community - that I found here - not just make any business. I did nothing special just said hello on the Newbie section some times and was chating a lot of different omega owners. Sorry for my poor English but I felt I had to tell it.

[welsh_cossack]

Thanks for that Input Jimbob NOT
Cant you distigush then between people who are asking for help and people who are trying to sell
Yes you get many posts and most get the hint
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU OVERWHELM THEM WITH VIELED THREATS JUST LIKE THE ONE ON THIS POST(I AM NOT RUNNING)

[welsh_cossack]

THANKS ROBG
One point answered that's all i wanted not a war
Not many left now, this helps me to gauge the value

[Lazydocker]

TBH, you aren't coming across very well If your ad was read as a veiled advert (which any comment about it being for sale somewhere is) then it's against the guidelines you have already said you've read

Anyway, best way to try and put a value on it is to do a little research... Autotrader, eBay, etc. Put in the same spec as yours to start with and then work back like most of us have probably done in the past to sell a motor

Finally, this site is the worst place to get a valuation or to sell an Omega anyway as we all want something for nothing
