One of the best days was a game with you, PN Wokingham and Pieman - I would just ask that you rethink as its about those days, not a mistake by a Mod, that defines the friendships on here

I don't normally get involved in arguments and disagreements on here, but I'm so annoyed and going to have my say.
Rob was the very first person that I spoke to and met from this forum. And I can say that when I met him for the first time it was as if I'd known him for ages, that's how he left me feeling. I bet many more on here will say exactly the same, a top top bloke.
So to hear how Rob has been treated in the for sale section leaves me almost speechless.
As Auburn Warrior has already pointed out, there have been many many posts where the seller has said that they will put up pictures later, when home. So can anybody tell me what exactly, warranted his post to be moved?
Golfmmad. :angry:

Incredible just incredible.
The forum has lost a gem of a man.

I had the same even though I stated they would be up within the hour. But... Them's is the rules.

Noooo!
This place won't be the same without you. You can't leave.
The fact that less coffee will be spluttered over my keyboard is hardly compensation.
Surely whatever is behind this can be sorted out.

I think this is all rather unnecessary. Could the Mods and Smiffy engage in some cordial PM'ing and resolve this amicably please?

Cheers mate for picking me up and taking me to Walton Heath. Top bloke who will be missed.
Just wish more mods would act like DCB and sit in the background. There is more of an issue with people posting in the wrong sections, more of an issue with lazy posting because people don't look back a page or two.
Maybe the mods should concentrate on tidying up other areas first.

If it were anyone else I'd suggest that they man up a bit and grow a pair...... 
No need to leave the forum Rob, even if you are into fishing a bit more right now. You're liked and appreciated SO MUCH by people on the forum that you shouldn't let something so petty spoil that sentiment.
We all want to get a game with you some time, and forum days just wouldn't be the same without your witty banter and cheeky grin
Without doubt meeting you was probably the reason why I never quit the game, even though I've tried so many times, so it must be partly my responsibility now to make you keep one eye on your clubs and I'll be dragging you out for a game next Summer if it kills me!!!
Like I said.... I'd suggest to anyone else that they grow a pair........

In my view a mod is there to remove overly offensive posts, links to spurious websites and to interject in arguments that may get out of hand. I think you have been a little harsh here with one of the stalwarts of the forum. This could have been easily avoided by waiting 24 hrs then pm'ing the member to remind him/her of the need for a photo. I have bought off Smiffy and found him to be as honest as the day is long. After all no one will buy anything without seeing it first surely?

You can't go Rob, I'm yet another who was introduced to the Golf Monthly forum by your very good self and the forum will not be the same if you go.
Sorry but I thin this is bang out of order. Smiify is a forum legend and surely his word is worth more than having his post deleted just because the pictures were following. Others have done the same and not had the same action taken. This was allegedly done to be consistent but the truth is there is no consistency.
There are a number of mods but there only seem to be two or three at most that ever make any decisions and I do think some of them do act in rather a carte blanche attitude. Unless a post is clearly getting abusive or offensive I really dont see why so many need to be cut off but that is just my opinion.
I would like to see the opportunity to post and add a picture within 24 hours on the for sale section. I have wanted to put a few things on but wanted to wait for daylight to make the picture clearer. If a picture doesn't appear within that slot it would seem reasonable to delete it. An hour is just wrong.
I hope the mods and Smiffy can sort it out and it's adieu and not goodbye as the King of the Knobs will be sorely missed. He was a pleasure to play with and actually a decent golfer and a fearsome competitor. I remember him and I going head to head at Blackmoor last year for a fiver. Thought I'd got it in the bag with a monster birdie at 17 but he bounced back on 18.
Don't be a stranger mate.

Sad to see this on what i thought was a sensible and adult ( not that sort of adult ) forum
I fell into this issue on one of my ads and it was swiftly taken off by the mods
I think this should be addressed in your case and Mike should look into this before a complete forum meltdown begins to support you
Very silly and not necessary
Regardless good luck for the future

Speaking from experience as a mod on another forum, rules are rules. Its to the individual mods discretion if they wish to bend the rules and allow a post to stay up while picturless.
Everyone here knows the rules, and regardless of time on here or post counts, if you post a thread without pics you run the risk of getting it pulled, simples.
I hate good bye threads, bit pointless me saying best of luck etc if im seeing you Monday anyway, so il save it til then.

Is this just a case of throwing the toys out of the pram. Bit extreme to leave. Just post it again with the pic surely?
