HUH!!?? Same reason why political comments ain't allowed in the for sale forums or any forum besides the PF. The gray area turns black when the thread turns into a for sale thread and lots of times it's the same members that turn it into that.
As a regular member, I'm not privy to all the nuts and bolts that a site owner deals with. Sometimes even moderators are not told.
I have seen some comments about how nudity and adult content is frowned upon in the general forum and I read that it was based on decency issues with google or some other governing force. I'm not complaining, I'm just repeating what I have read.
I thought that there may be some statute or regulation that requires a site to keep certain content separate from other topics.
If I'm wrong about that, understand that no offense is meant by it.
My underlying point is one that has hit close to home so I understand the feeling.
There are times where people are not sure of which direction they want to go and they are looking for a gentle nudge to help them decide.
Yes, there are those that DO post stuff like this and are casually testing the waters to see if someone will buy. I support the decision to shut those threads down because the OP is being dishonest about his intentions.
There are also instances where people are honest and just unsure about what to do.
Maybe it is hard for the moderators to determine which is which so they often just dump the thread.
The only thing that Moparts ever did right was to have their WIW forum. What It's Worth. It is a forum specifically for these situations.
