hey you guys were quick to respond to my alert this afternoon... dun let some p'd off guy put u down. I think 90% of the adds here are timewasters to be honest (not to mention a lot of peeps in the chat room) but I certainly don't think it's anyone's fault but those who posted them in the first place!
You keep going guys!

Please allow me to add my personal favourite?
When a recent advertiser was deleted, banned and informed because he posted a telephone number on his ad, in flagrant disregard of publicized site protocol, responded by email in saying
"Well, fuck you"
Oh, oh.. can I mention the guy who had two email addresses with the same ad and pictures whose response to being banned was to register a third email address and repost. When banned again HIS reply was 'well I'll take my ads elsewhere'.
And what about the guy posting asking women to have sex with horses. Or was it dogs... no maybe it was horses AND dogs??
What about the guy who had THREE email addresses running and got peeved that we had found him out... he turned out to be a) a woman seeking women , 2) a couple seeking women and a TV seeking anyone free next Tuesday .
Is there time to talk about those who have been banned and then reporting others who have done the same as them and taking umbrage (sorry, it's a fav word of mine) about it?
No..... well, there's no time to mention the guy who writes the long and interesting stories about how he fucked his sister/aunt/mother-in-law (delete as necessary) or sold his wife into the white slave trade? Or forced his beloved into being the scheme bike?
Sorry, no time left. Plenty of imagination though.
You want more??? We got more??? Piles of the stuff...make your hair curl and your notebook shrivel and dive for cover!!

When I used to do customer support email, for a retail company, much of the fun in replying to several hundred emails a day was mails like the ones above.
And occasionally, (just occasionally!) it was fun to launch off on a sarcastic rant against some snotty customer. A large part of the fun was in trying to figure out if the guy was so dumb that he wouldn't get the sarcasm or not...
Of course, I was *paid* to do that...
The ones I don't understand are the men pretending to be woman posting ads looking for women.
What happens if they succeed? (Miracles still happen.) "Sorry, my girlfriend couldn't make it. She thought you might like to have me instead".
I know some of what's involved in being a mod, and I don't have what it takes. I'm too trusting and forgiving. Always willing to give them another chance. If I was in charge this place would be over-run with morons within minutes.
Can I just say it amazes me how a thread named Glasnost can get so many replies
No.........ok then :cry:
