Post refused

What do you mean by "refused?" I'm not sure what the problem was with the use of that word.

Did you get an error message? If so, I need to know exactly what it said.

John, yes he had profiled an email address, so I've sent him a note, essentially the above message.

Reply to Rich follows.

Hi Rich

This is my first note, complete with waffle and unnecessary instructions for using my email(!).  I trimmed down for the second note, the body of which is the italicised text above.  Both were not approved (sorry - wrong word 'refused'):

REPLY NOT APPROVED - REMOVED FROM SITE SUBJECT: Lionel Legacy GP9 - sorry! GP7 REPLY BY: Jason Dickie IN: Miscellaneous Forums / Wanted to BUY JD Tim, just in case ... I was an O-scale 2-rail importer a few years ago and I've got a selection of 'left-overs' from 3-rail to 2-rail conversions, as you can guess mostly wheelsets, couplers and pickups.  I can never bring myself to throw anything away, so I do have some Weaver 3-rail diesel gearbox/wheelsets and Alco FA, GP38-2 bodyshells plus a couple of MTH and Lionel 6-axle diesels waiting for love and attention.  The Lionel GE U30C has now got 2-rail wheels, but....  It's in D&H, that's why it was first in the latest conversion queue. I'm down in Wiltshire at present, email is jasond1947 at gmail.  Com - yes needs making into proper mail addy.  Winchester Meet in October?

Jason, I'm a bit puzzled on this one. I don't know why it would have been rejected.

Rich, the robot moderator is running wild!

Hey, let's just call it another first for us Brits!!  Thanks for looking.

Jason

By the way, Tim replied to my email, he has some nice, brief video of his Lionel NKP Berkshire.  So 2-rail, 3-rail - ultimately who cares, it's O. I'll nag him to get it on here.

Pretty sad, you had to take down the American flag!!   Rob

What in the world are you talking about? We would have no reason to take down a post just because it contained an American flag! I can assure you that everyone here at OGR is quite proud of our flag.

Oh my....the conspiracy theorists have finally landed at OGR. I KNEW as soon as I saw that green flying saucer ad from Menards that we needed to start looking into that. How can it be a "scale" model if there is no prototype?--Answer THAT ONE!

That's true, Alan A. changed the TOS the other day because of an email exchange I had with him about a robot alert that flagged my posting. You can now no longer refer to or promote the eBay forum.

That's nothing new. I instituted that policy years ago when I was the Forum Webmaster.

But he just added it to the TOS this week.

He just made it "official."

As I said, that policy has been in effect for many years. I didn't want to see the Buy/Sell forum become nothing more than a bunch of links to sales on Ebay.

Rich, it's always been policy in the Buy/Sell forum(which is appropriate & needed), but now it is in the forum TOS as of this past week.

"You also agree that you will not use this forum to promote other forums including but not limited to ebay and similar websites via the posting of their web address, whether via a hyperlink or via text."

My post that got deleted wasn't promoting any other forums and wasn't in the Buy/Sell/Trade areas. Hoop.la flagged it.

Rich:  I posted a comment about being an old marine with an american flagin it and Alan A. deleted it.  Thats un american...Rob

Give me a break! NO ONE at OGR is “un-American.”

If the post was deleted, it was for some other reason, not because it contained an image of the flag.

Good grief...  

We’re all done here with this nonsense. The thread is closed.
