I'm really uncomfortable with this being discussed publically here.
Pam is right, this is a matter to be worked out between the admins and the OP.

Yup. It's TE's decision how they run the board, not ours.

And it's not like they don't have a phone number so you can privately talk to them . . . . .

I agree. I think it is inappropriate to question the admins or to even bring this up on the forum. Originally Posted by salsabike

Why don't your friends post the ads themselves? RunningMommy, who owns a store and likely has similar contacts, doesn't post ads for friends in her cycling community.
While others will post ads for their friends, it's infrequent.Last edited by Selkie; 03-13-2009 at 03:27 AM.

I have nothing constructive to add here except that it seems panties have been wadded and knickers have been twisted.

Actually, SadieKate, they do have my phone number. I asked them to call me regarding this issue.
I've vented enough. Thanks for everyone's support.

Ah, so you picked up the phone and called them . . . privately. Gave them a chance to respond before going public???? Originally Posted by bike4ever

... but it seems like this is what the internet is all about: democracy in action. She is exercising her voice and as long as TE doesn't start pulling her posts, it seems she is welcome to post whatever she likes in an effort to get to the bottom of why her FS posts are being pulled. Perhaps she is really trying to find who is 'compliaining' about her posts and explain to that individual that she is not selling from a store front. It's best to keep private matters private, but blogs and facebook and the internet in general are all about vomiting private matters for the world to see. She and everyone else in the thread have been respectful of both TE and the other posters (rare on the internet), and it seems like a fairly acceptable way to a) get the admin to reply to her concerns b) assure whomever is complaining about her FS listings that she isn't selling from a store front. Moreover, the suggestions here that she have her friends post their own FS items and TE charge for FS listings are not bad ones. ....just my unsolicited 2cents
