The board policy hasn't been updated since 2009 and this has been pointed out to eBay and their various moderators many times. eBay wants the benefits of a social community (2.5 x spending power, for example) and expect us to be thrilled to recommend eBay, but they don't put the care or work in. They throw in a twitter and facebook thing and expect wonders.

I think the policy I 'signed' had a disclaimer, of sorts, at the bottom, claiming they could punish for "anything other" at their discretion. So I guess that covers off topic posts on this no-topic board...and the one I received for 'sedition' a few years ago lol

It would certainly help if we had fewer dibber dobbers. It's just SO primary school in here sometimes.

Wahhhhh well i'm in shock, someone has a problem with me.

 

*cries like a little kindy kid*

Oh Freddie, who would have a problem with you?

But Az & Buzz, that doesn't explain why some posters are having posts removed for being off topic on here. jMHO but it should only apply to the help boards

I totally agree. No posts should be removed for being off topic to the thread, only the board.

 

well it's wrong IMO

 

Freddie maybe someone just didn't like a post could be another reason,??

Wikipedia says sedition is: "insurrection against the established order". UMAH! OMG!

 

It comes from the Sedition Act of 1918 - Alien and Sedition Acts. "Sedition is the stirring up of rebellion against the government in power."

 

LOL!  JMK got in trouble for stirring up the peasants!

Anyway, I hope the mods keep an eye on that one here on CS. it's really not relevant to anything on this board IMO

Haha Buzz, it's true. They were peasants lol

They should add sedition to their updated policies.

I wrote a letter to nprizeman asking for a clear concise explanation as to what "off topic" actually applies to but I am not sure I asked with any clarity..... I was even confusing myself!
