You're in good company. I got banned from mine last year after I pointed out that I was giving something away for free (something decent, that I could easily have sold), and didn't appreciate the bitchy messages I'd recieved - along the lines of "I messaged you first, are you stupid or just rude?" and "I'll have it, deliver it to.... ", "why haven't you delivered it yet? My kids are waiting and getting upset" etc etc.
I was pmd by the mod who told me I was rude and ungrateful, and would never be allowed to be a member again Grin

If yours is anything like mine it's a blessing in disguise. My local one is run by petty jobsworth dipshits who have bizarre rules and tell anything off who violates them. I have never used the site and should really leave of my own accord before I do what you did!

GlitterTwinkleToes · 30/04/2015 19:53

Grin I love it!

I should have gone all out and posted on the ones that ask for a red settee, must be a three seater, black cushions, brand new condition, only going to pay a maximum of thirty pounds and it must be delivered within the hour - stop being so bloody picky! Have what your offered or I know, crazy idea here, get off your ass and buy a new one Wink

Going to have to Mn a lot more now, can't get my laughs off fb Grin

I got banned from oneast year because I decided to sell something to someone who said please and not the first person to comment .. I started my own with no rules and it's great fun .. Everyone does what they like but it's ok .. ????

Aermingers · 30/04/2015 20:00

You sound like a terrible snob...

GlitterTwinkleToes · 30/04/2015 20:02

Yep that's me, complete snob Confused

Not snobby at all!

I can't understand text speak, it fries my fucking brain.

TwinkieTwinkle · 30/04/2015 20:47

I don't actually use any of the selling pages, I just look at them for the comedy value... Blush

Lesausage · 30/04/2015 20:48

I don't do text speak!

I was banned from mine because the woman who runs it doesn't like me from the school gates.

I don't join in their slagging off fest and don't bow down and fawn all over her agree with some things she says, not that I say anything I just don't join in the conversation at all. Just a polite "hi" smile and move on Confused

Oswin · 30/04/2015 20:53

The people on my local one are bloody weird. I advertised my old fridge freezer for free. I clearly stated collect only because I had no transport. First message I got was asking me to WALK it down to there house because they only lived down the road. FUCK OFF!!

FindoGask · 30/04/2015 21:01

I wouldn't correct people for their typing or spelling in the same way that I wouldn't say, to a person's face "I'm terribly sorry, but your accent is too coarse for my ears, could you rephrase in RP". Ie, it's rude. Especially if you're only engaging in some sort of brief financial transaction, not writing Samuel Johnson missives to each other. Its a bit harsh that you got blocked, but if I'd read your post I would at least have thought "what a dick". I bet you understood the other person really.

GlitterTwinkleToes · 30/04/2015 21:50

Findo that's your opinion Smile

I don't think it is "dickish" behaviour to ask someone to speak in proper sentences and use some grammar.
Missing out words, generally not making any sense, all I asked was them to rephrase and use some grammar. I wasn't the only one who asked what the hell they were talking about, but hey, it takes all sorts to make the world go round Smile

DrFoxtrot · 30/04/2015 22:23

TwinkieTwinkle I too look at the pages mainly for amusement, the odd quality post, photos of random ashtrays, 'inbox me hun', 'need gone asap'....I need to get out more Grin

DrFoxtrot · 30/04/2015 22:25

On ours, somebody has been bumping a faded childrens toy for £4 for more than a year. Nobody wants it love.

306235388 · 30/04/2015 22:25

I'm sure you could understand it. It annoys me too but you were rude.

FarFromAnyRoad · 30/04/2015 22:29

Perfectly reasonable to ask someone to speak in the language of the land instead of text speak gobblegobble ffs - I can't understand what they're saying half the time and frankly, if they're too damned lazy to spell out Y O U instead of 'u' then they're too stupid for me to talk to. Likewise any use of the word 'hun'. Is it snobby to disregard that kind of person? I don't know or terribly much care. It's a criteria, it's my criteria and therefore it's valid. Innit.

CrapBag · 30/04/2015 22:33

Someone is trying to sell creepy fucking reborn dolls on mine. A comment of "OMG hun that looks so real" made me laugh. No it doesn't look real, it's looks like a very creepy doll!

FarFromAnyRoad · 30/04/2015 22:34

Those things are a thread - maybe even a whole board! - of their own! They are so so creepy and if badly done they're evil!

TwinkieTwinkle · 30/04/2015 22:37

What the fuck is a reborn doll?!

FarFromAnyRoad · 30/04/2015 22:39

This is an example

You don't have to look too far to find the ones done by people who should stick to rolling PlayDoh into balls!

Welshmaenad · 30/04/2015 22:43

On ours, someone is trying to flog a rusted, broken trampoline with no springs cover or net. For £70. I shot you not.

GlitterTwinkleToes · 30/04/2015 22:44

Wow. Now that is ahem, unusual.

Welshmaenad · 30/04/2015 22:46
