Imo then lock / delete this thread and delete each and every thread he makes trying to sell it.

I have resisted the little man inside my head telling me to flame the ..... no stop. telling me to flame him.

This is just silly, people like this should go back to alb/excal or just delete there accounts

To the people trashing Plac and who's posts have been deleted:

He wants to sell it for 60P. If you think it is to high just ignore the post instead of whining and it will drop of the page fast and probably will be unsold.

Another idea would be to make another thread to complain about the prices. But keep the auction thread clear.

people are entitled to say what they think, as long as they are polite...as far as i can see, no one was whining and if fact the OP saw it was too high...... the moderation on these boards is bordering on the over powered -IMHO ofc

I think the moderators need to make it clear when they are expressing their own opinion and when they are moderating. Quinlan has always (from what I can see) made a point of criticising people for complaining, but it would be wrong if it now appeared trivial complaints received moderator intervention.

After all, it's just a web forum. It's not like it can do any harm for people to express their opinions as long as they remain polite. Weight of opinion is - ultimately - how a lot of change gets motivated and stifling opinion will stifle the development of a community/society.

Quinlan may be tired of seeing complaints about high prices, but then some people are tired of seeing high prices. If the advice is to keep quiet instead of making a complaint, why is Quinlan not keeping quiet?

Since you cant see the deleted posts of which some where pretty offensive it is hard for you to comment.

And for the rest a normal Cryn post...
