A rather ironic extract from the FAQ: Actually, common sense would be to separate the 'buy' from the 'sell and trade'. That way people looking to buy from the esteemed community would be able to simply and directly post a message to indicate their intent, without having to waste everybodies time w/ 25 posts about nothing of relevance in the mean time. Ok, one useless post down. 24 to go. Unless a mod would like to grant me the right to post a "looking to buy" listing.
Do you know the definition of irony? lol You can already filter threads, so you can display only WTS (or WTB) if you choose.
BTW: I know the meaning of irony. Do you? Hmm. Guess I can't be trusted with links yet either. It's a wonder I ever learned to tie my own shoes.
Before you start a conversation with someone learn with whom your are dealing with. shawn being a admin is politely replying to you but still you are not convinced. A new newbie is not allowed to post in buy or sell immediately after registration to prevent scammers. He must complete 25 posts to enter into buy or sell. If he does 25 usless posts then he will be banned permenently from digital point since this forum is intended for learning buying and selling is secondary. Then both WTB and WTS are listed in the same place it is your responsiblity to pickup what you want. And finally if you are only interested in buying stuffs then dedicate few usefull posts and then start your business.
I'm not sure where giving constructive feedback in a light amusing sparring conversational manner comprises being jerk. But will certainly stop, lest I PO a mod and end up banned. sigh.
What a fun bunch. If this is the general mood here, I think I'll be strictly business from this point forward. Lesson learned.
How so? (Ok, so I have to enter more than 6 characters, even though 6 characters fully expresses the question. So I repeat: How so?)
Yet asking if one knows the meaning of irony is not rude? I suspect your definition of rude is far narrower than mine. Go back and read the exchange again and this time imagine both people smiling and smirking as you read. I don't think either of us was especially rude.
This^ didn't really seem rude to me.. As opposed to your: I dunno, could be just me.. But judging from how everyone's reacting to this thread, doesn't seem like it.
