Okay so i have to vent, maybe im not the only one here but Im a bit peeved here
I post a FS item in the high end forum
Someone replies asking a question regarding the item saying basically isnt this the same item i bid on before?
I reply to the thread stating, no this is a different item, check the stats out.
I get my thread closed immediately because I posted to the same thread prior to the 24hr period.
I PM the moderator with:
"why did you close the thread, none of my posts were BUMPED, I replied to valid questions and responses.
I would appreciate it if you would open that thread back up so I dont have to recreate anohter one. Im afraid you jumped the gun on closing my thread, most likely by mistake"
The reply I get is:
*** Published PM from moderator removed by Dralspire ***
That is fine if the board is run like this but just seems detrimental to the whole forum process. So you are saying that even if someone asks a question in a thread you arent allowed to respond? Doesnt that seem just a little excessive?
Its not like i was actually bumping the thread with things like
"Updated price", "Bump me", or Blatent bumping. I would think there would be some discretion involved before you just go closing threads all willy nilly.
Now i will have to create yet another thread because you closed the thread. I will adhere to not posting to the thread for 24hr period but i do think you were hasty in closing the orignal thread without validating that the post was a valid "NON Bump" post.
Thanks for the vent...

Why dont you PM him.
Also note that you are not the only individual that uses the sell forums. If we let these things slide for one person, we have to let it slide for everyone. Since we wont let it slide for everyone, I guess we have to enforce our own rules.
As for the rant, I sure hope you know that rants like this are not tolerated especially since it is directed at one particular mod.
To wrap things up, please understand that the sell forum is a PRIVILAGE. It could be removed from all existance in a moments notice. The Admins here are just nice enough to keep it up for people like you.

The moderator in question acted in accordance with the rules set forth in this forum.
Let me reiterate that we don't take lightly the publication of PM communication with Guild Wars Guru staff, and our rulebook sets out a procedure for appealing moderator decisions. This is not the way to go.
