Shouldn't this be in Networking not General Hardware?
Link

He is also not following the rules here. Making a newbie aware of the rules. (but do so politely)
I find the following rude and offensive.

do you not understand the rules? can you read? you shouldnt even be participating in these forums if you cant read the rules, moron.
please read the god damn rules before posting here. what you're doing is called "thread crapping" remember it, write it down, cuz you're going to need to remember it around here. we arent like your other stupid forums where you can low ball and try to get the price lower. too bad so sad. if you cant play by the rules, get the hell out, or a mod will see to it that you get kicked out.
thanks.

general hardware is exactly that, general hardware, all computer hardware topics can go there I believe, as for his fs/ft thread, it was a rude the way he handled it, I agree, but that was a blatant thread crap, the mods took care of the crap, and if they saw a problem with nocturnals post, they probably would have told him about it.

The Mod must have missed his reply.

I still don't see the problem with the post in GH as it does cover computer hardware (as stated in the description) I think it could go either way, and the moderator edited the thread crap in that guys post 17 minutes after he posted his reply, I really wouldn't worry about it, the fs/ft thread is going to the depths of the forum (item sold) and the GH thread isn't causing any problems (no need for it to be moved IMO)

From my understanding, it is OT for GH. It isn't enforced too much as it happens all too often.
Let me see if I understand your logic on his post to the thread crapper. It is OK to break the rules as long as the item is sold and the thread is going to fall?

if you know it isnt enforced, why bother posting this thread in the first place? i did a quick topic search for "network" and found at least a dozen questions regarding networks.. and none of those are locked.. i dont see the big deal with it being in GH. :)

Listen, I don't want to start an argument here, my only problem is it looks like you have a vendetta against this guy, pulling up 2 threads which he did questionable activities, I come to AT to learn things, kid around in OT and sell/ buy some computer parts. I don't disagree with you on the fact that the seller handled the situation wrongly, I am simply saying that it looks like the mods have seen it already, and the thread isn't going to be around any more anyways, so a lock wouldn't do any good. Now cheer up I think I am gonna go over to OT and read through some of the NEF threads ;)

No, no. It's just a coincidence that they are about the same hypocritical, junior mod, wannabe. :D

Hey Nocturnal, chill!! We've already talked to him about it.
