What is the point of having FS/FT Forum Rules if the rules are not enforced?

[tennesota]

Please have no more than one or two threads active at the same time.

This rule is often broken yet some users never seem to get locked down for it. Because some members threads are locked and others are not it appears that some members are given favorable treatment.

If it is okay to have three or more active FS/FT threads at once then please remove or amend the above rule so guys like me will not be offended by what apears to be favoritism.

Hmmmm, you may have something there.

How about posting the offenders username when you see something wrong instead of making a general rant?

I just did a very quick, rudimentary check and found one example. Actaeon has one thread where he is seeking an XP1600 and then later he posts a separate thread that has For Sale or For trade items and lists several items he would trade for; NONE of which is that same CPU he was seeking in his earlier thread. Possibly skirting around the rules? Not sure. He did have one reply to his earlier thread; maybe he got what he needed. The threads are three hours apart. I'm sure there are more and better examples though. I just did a quick two page search.

He has 3 active threads. One over the limit, but not a major indiscretion.
This is quite common here, but the mods can't see everything. If you notice it, shoot them a PM. They will deal with it.
