    So in a BST someone was charging for a service that is readily available for free elsewhere on the net, am I subject to any infractions for posting in the FS thread that the service need not be paid for ?

    The OP is a little pissed but I didnt want anyone paying for a service that they can get free elsewhere.

    Thoughts ?

    You should ask a mod for the final answer.

    IMO, wrecking or hijacking a sales thread is aganist the rules.

    Not sure I agree with this but that is the way I have seen it enforced in the past.

    you'll probably get an infraction.
    you gotta ask yourself this one question:

    is it worth it?

    1 point is nothing unless you already have 9 racked up. :D

    That's thread hijacking, and yes, you'll get an infraction and your post will be deleted.

    You're also not allowed to post just to say thanks to someone, and aren't allowed to say things like "rep is appreciated." Looks like it's time to brush up on the rules before posting more.
