If you look really closely you'll see an entire "bikes for sale" sub forum, set up specifically so that this one doesn't fill up with adverts or empty posts containing ebay links. Whilst it's understandable that you want this to be seen by as many people as possible most of us don't give a flying fuck that it's for sale, whereas someone browsing the "bikes for sale" section is almost certainly going to be looking for some form of powered two wheeled transportation.

This little paragraph on forum etiquette has been brought to you by the letter I and the number 7.

I dunno, I like it, this way we can hurl abuse at the OP, because his bike isn't cheap at all for an imported, written off bike, and we can put potential buyers off.

In fact, this is the exact reason replies were banned in the For Sale section. Laughing

Fair comment. It is a bit of a slow news day after all. I just get vaguely irritated with - yet more - proof that there are people out there using a PC to communicate with the wider world that are inherently incapable of reading a simple block of text and associating the words "For sale" with the idea that they want to sell something, they simply click the button and put it wherever the mouse first falls with no forethought as to audience or as to whether it makes them look like any task beyond chewing gum and breathing is an Olympian achievement.

Maybe he feels the surcharge is warranted by the added effort of removing the new "shorty" brake and clutch levers? Although why the bloody hell you'd mention them if they're being taken off is a bit beyond me. "Yeah, it's got these really cool new toys on it, but I'm keeping those unless you pay me more". Way to make a great impression on prospective buyers. In truth it's a reasonably well crafted example of an Ebay advert. No real chavspeak, relatively restrained colours and a distinct lack of "teh cheepezt!!11one!1".

There's nothing immediately abusive about laughing at your massively out-of-proportion price, dude. Marking it as such is little over the top.

More to the point, the 'For sale' section is there for a reason.

Ahh, he's now misusing the "karma" selector.

For the sake of clarity if I'd called you a "cock smoking mong", told you that your waist band was evidently far in excess of your IQ or alternatively gone with the old favourite of "fuck off you dribbling retard" then that would have been abusive. As it was, my first post - the one you managed to rate - was letting you know there was a bit of the site you'd obviously managed to miss.

This one is simply explaining how to use the karma system. Would you also like a diagram concerning the tying of shoe laces?

I think the operative expression there, Tom, is "ANYTHING ELSE"

... which would give the impression that you might have perused the other choice of fora before deciding that this was the forum into which to place your post.

Unfortunately, you appear to have caught your audience on a bad day, i.e., when they are hot and sweaty but their hotness and sweatiness is completely unrelated to having just had a curry or an exuberant bunk-up.

Good luck with your sale.
I wouldn't buy it, but that's only cos its green.

One doubts that any of the posters in this thread owns a donkey and there's most certainly no space in the word "cunts". Was it a genuine mistake or a disingenuous attempt to confuse the karma bot?

I wonder if blaspheming counts as swearing? Thinking

Going to have to ponder that one, it's surprisingly hard to come out with a sustained tirade of blasphemous prose without swearing somewhere in there, that rather defeats the idea of the test.

I guess if BCF stood for Baptist Christian Fundamentalists, one assumes it would do.

Well £1300 isn't cheap, you can get a ZXR750L3 for about that or less but then 400's have always been a bit of rip-off money-wise.. people will pay it though.
