Limiting/locking classified threads, Not trying to limit "free speech" Options

[IronHillRestorations]

How about locking the classified threads so only the poster can make changes?

Don't misread my intent, as I'm all about free speech.

If you have something for sale, then it's yours for sale and your thread shouldn't be hijacked by someone that thinks you are over priced. If you are over priced, then you'll know it without someone telling you what an idiot you are for pricing it so high.

If you want to tell everyone that the guys an idiot for pricing so high, then start a new thread.

TC, I think the guy is out of touch with his pricing too, but it's a caveat emptor situation. If someone you know is thinking about taking the plunge, it's OK to PM them and tell them so.

My point is it's his to sell, if you don't like it don't buy it.

As far as calling out a rip off, that all depends on the internet credibility the rip off guy is. Many months ago I called out one of our vendors who was selling his knock-off product (after purchasing the product from the original innovator) with photo copies of the original instructions from the guy he ripped off, blatant plagerism. I was the jerk for exposing this, not the plagerist. The thing is the guy has ripped off more than one unique 914 product buy purchasing it from the honest innovator, and then re-selling it as his own. No good deed goes unpunished!

I was the jerk for exposing this

I just re-read that thread and i don't see anyone calling you a "jerk" for exposing it.

What i do see is Evill Ed posting on page 2 that he and Craig resolved the issue, yet the thread goes on for another 7 pages until it had to be closed by an admin.

I did not see anyone attacking you for calling out Craig ...
