It might be of interest to know that a large percentage of mod action is a result of member(s) reporting a post or thread.

In the main, the forum's members set the tone.

That your intentions were noble are great, but irrelevant.

This is a private board and the administrator has the right to do as he sees fit.

The rules are there and are what they are, for better or for worse. In this case, it is for the better, for protection of all of us.

To then post about it seeking opinions - I mean, this is not a democracy. You are here as a guest.
+1 I'm on a wide variety of forums and a moderator on one of them. Rules are there to set the expectation for members from the administration. Follow them and everything is cool. Break them unintentionally, and you'll be pointed in the direction of the rules for educational purposes, blatently break them and

I for one think it's a good rule and feel safer as a buyer knowing that it's in place.

I don't want to waste my time negotiating with a "seller" that doesn't actually have the watch in question.

OK, who's the Judas now?
I wonder how many of the greys act as middle men in some of the sales here? My understanding is that some may do but they keep quite about it. Just my humble opinion...of course i may be wrong.

I think you just gave TMI, OP.

And it's not just about this rule. I personally would never relate that a watch was being sold due to a need for money due to hard times. It certainly can't help you out as a seller.

Agreed. It is meant to protect TRF members.
