Do not post links to live auctions

February 03, 2019, 08:31 AM

Do not post links to live auctions- do not post for "just FYI", do not post for "hey, isn't this interesting", and do not post "just to to laugh at". Under no circumstances should you ever post a link in this forum to a live auction. I would expect longtime members to know this and to act accordingly.

I'm just glad this site isn't a liberal ran site.
Nowadays it's unusual.
Owner of most are a liberal that structures the post according to liberal views and will kick off anybody that doesn't conform.

Thank you Big "P"

<looks at OMCHamlin's post count...> Hmmm... I'd think you'd know the answer to this, by now.

Like a tenderfoot asking why you need to learn to use a compass before heading out on a trail.

Why don't you send Para an e-mail message?

When he ignores your e-mail question as he will probably ignore your question on his forum, you should have a pretty good idea of "why'.

I admire curiosity, but...

When coming upon a bunch of pipes with wires and a battery attached, suppress your curiosity. Do not poke it, kick it or pull on the wires.

I admit to similar curiosity, but I knew better than to ask.

You're talking about firearms discussion forums?

If I owned the joint I wouldn't want to be a platform to advertise ongoing auctions. A trickle would become a flood and auction ads would dominate the posts.

As long as we can still post "you won't believe what happens next!" links, it's all good

Wouldn't that fall into the category of a "vague title"?

we do owe Para a debt of gratitude for keeping advertising out of here.
Other site have more ads than info.
