Also see my other auctions for more motorcycle equipment.

 

Posts like these make me think of those charity collectors who bother you in
the pub.

 

Now then Mr. "ktrader" This looks like a commercial post and
therefore contarvenes the charter of uk.r.m.

Abuse report to on its way.

 

Please explain why is this a commercial post?

 

How is this different to any of the 'regulars' advertising ebay auctions
here?

 

Here, take my hand ... right then: the OP isn't a regular. He's only
here to push his stuff, which if you were interested in you would have
found on eBay anyway.

The OP's eBay username is "uktrader" which suggests commercialism to
me - and just to reinforce that, he's posted again subsequently, with
another of his auctions. Now, if you want to see uk.r.m. disappear
under a mass of eBay auctions, offers and links - you sit on your
hands and let it ... but don't ask me to, OK?

 

Kindly see my reply to mb.

Then have a look at the OP's next thread.

 

I'd like to see a total of zero ebay ads. Ebay is so dull.

 

Nope, your explanation doesn't really ad up. These ads seems no different
to others here flogging their stuff on UKRM. It looks like a private
individual selling his bike and top box on ebay. The matters you point to
are all fairly irrelevant:

1. The fact he's not a "regular". So what, this is a public
forum.

2. The fact that his ebay ID is "uktrader101" means fa - I
presume you had a look at his history and noticed that for the last 20
items or so, he was the buyer?

3. UKRM flooding under a load of ads etc. When has that stopped
anyone. What next - you'll want to stop people posting crap?

 

Ho hum, I know he's not a regular which is why I posed my question like
that.

Then why allow *any* ebay auction postings ?

 

oh shit.

 

I didn't initiate that - take that up with mb, ta.

It was the "see my other auctions for more motorcycle stuff" that
stood out to me. He hasn't a lot there atm, but who knows/

Crap is fine, K. Ads are a different thing. How many times do you
want the OP to initiate a thread selling more of his stuff?

 

Then why ask? He's only here to punt his stuff. I resent that.
Tough.

**** me, this is real shallow end stuff, isn't it? Nobody is in any
position to allow or disallow *anything* to be posted. I reserve my
right to object to the content, however.

It would appear though that we are in a minority as when we last had
this discussion it was agreed that Joe Public could push his tat here as
much as he liked but of course traders would be spoken firmly at.

 

"It's a public newgroup"

But you've sent an abuse report anyway?

Fairy nuff.

 

Youm may not have initiated it, but is formed one of the reasons you gave
to justify your abuse report. If you recall, you said:

"He's only here to push his stuff..."

To which I say, so what?

Great. He *might* post some more ebay ads, so that justifies me sending
an abuse email off. I don't think so. If you had evidence of a continued
trend of this chap doing this, I might think differently. But he's posted
two separate ads, and anyone clown can see that he's selling his own
bike, and the top box that came from it.

Commercial posts - yes, that's why they're not allowed. Private sellers,
they're fine IMO. Over zealous net-kops, hmm....

 

I wish we could have a ban on all dull posters, but apparently, it's not a
crime to be dull. ;-)

 

You'd get life

 

****, they'd have to bring back hanging for you.

 

How is that "disallowing"?
