Yet another Royal Mail Thread

DirtPoorGuy

I was under the impression that this part of the forum was for Ebay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales etc and information pertinent to them, unfortunately it has seen multiple threads started about the Royal Mail strike with the sole purpose of being a political soap box.

Regardless of wether or not you agree with the strike, postings here should only be about relevant information ie what days the strikes are on, what services are affected and alternative postal services etc, everything else constitutes trolling.

Can the forum moderators please reign in these posts as they are not contructive and do not benefit this part of the forum.

And for the rest of us please resist replying to these threads.

There are none only board guides and what gives you the right to make this decision. RM strikes effect a lot of sellers if you don't want to discuss it fine don't reply. But if others want to discuss it its up to them.

I have to say, this is the first thread that I've seen that doesn't even attempt to start any discussion about the practicalities of the situation!

Unfortunately these strikes are having a major impact on most of us selling on-line (ebay or otherwise) - I don't see what's wrong with wanting to discuss the implications?

Would that be the same soap box you're on then...?

Y'know you've just gone and started a royal mail thread, too? Definitely the same soap box.

There are no moderators- there are board guides who can't delete posts. (I think they can hide them, but I could be wrong.) The site pretty much runs on user submitted abuse reports, so if you are bothered by posts being here then you should email [Removed by Forum Team] with links to the offending posts.


However, the strikes do affect the users of this board more directly than most, and I'm sure we all have opinions- personally I don't see a issue with discussion, and although I do think that maybe it would be better to have a info thread and a discussion thread this won't work, as people will air their views regardless- as you have seen.
