Selective Treatment
Jan 20, 2014 @ 21:55

To the Admins,


I am really angry and dissapointed that you removed my post of yesterday 19.01.2014, even after I have written explaining why I had to post it where it was.


Unarguably, my post was supposed to be in the "Classified" section, no denying. But below are few examples of many postings that supposed to also be in Classified section. Still they were not deleted.
This is to say the least, very unfair to me, after I actually asked that you should understand.


Why this selective treatment? Same thing happened in January 2013 when I was renting out a room from my apartment. I need some explanation please.


Below are samples of classified ads on the "Forum".

Hi Bola,


Classifieds ads belong in the classifieds section.


We don't always have time to monitor all posts so we remove the ones we see / the ones we are notified about.


We saw your post and depsite the explanation we deleted it because it was posted in the wrong section.


Nothing personal,  Just trying to keep the site in order.


Thanks,


Oded

Oded,


I seriously disagree with your reply, but I will let the sleeping dog lie.

This excellent site is free - which means to me that the excellent Mods are also free to determine who posts where and what. Life often isn't fair

Both Oded and Bola are right, Classifieds need to go in the classifieeds section, not forums, but in order to be fair, if a rule is to be enforced it needs to be enforced equally for all posters.


Basically though, for everyone, don't post classifieds in forums.

I understand its difficult for Oded to catch all the ads ( we can help him and let him know if something slips through) but i agree the classifieds part is so easy to use and makes more sense, i will not look for an apartment in the forums!! i go straight to classifieds Undecided

Just by way of a reminder as to what a forum was and is:


noun: forum; plural noun: forums; plural noun: fora


1.


a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.


synonyms:meeting, assembly, gathering, conference, seminar, convention, colloquy, convocation, congress, rally, council, symposium, conclave, congregation, synod, diet;            "forums were held for staff to air grievances and make suggestions"


"the UN could provide a valuable forum for discussions"


2.


N. Amer.


a court or tribunal.


3. (in an ancient Roman city) a public square or marketplace used for judicial and other business.


Consequently, dense though I may be, I don’t see a forum as a showcase for sundry advertisements.
