Wild guess: all those 2 post members saying the inane "pm sent" gives the appearance of impropriety. Fortunately, the mods can do an IP check, if they really feel like it.

No, its probably the multiple sales threads when they could have been consolidated into one.

Not really fair when there are 4,400 views. Gotta assume some stupid newbs come along to alert you they've sent a ******* PM that you'll receive an email and/or popup about anyway.

I dunno... for sure the AE thread should be separate.

Things look legit. But for a thread that big, it's probably a good idea to have it pinned.

When there are many reports on the same thread, a mod may accidentally lock it without looking too close into the matter (they're busy). That's why I said that with a big thread and potentially high profit, it's a good idea to have it pinned - $50 to buy all the complication.

Yep, there are many not-so-nice people in B&S.


Thanks onix. SO how would i go from here? Open a new thread? Or wait for mods to reopen my old one? PM the mods? Let me know. Thanks for all the help!

Email them ([email protected]), they would unlock your current thread, then pin it.
