I would like a chance to explain myself

09sVDB09sVDB Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭
I would like to have a chance to explain some of the controversy regarding some of my recent posts on the BST board. I have been a member here for just under four years. That I am aware of, I have never had an issue with anyone here. Just the opposite. I have met some very wonderful people, both in person and through PM's. Up until recently, I have never tried to sell much but I recently decided to weed out some stuff(both here and through Ebay). Apparently some member(s) have taken offense to me TTTing messages. I honestly thought the unwritten rule was not more than once a day. I see messages TTT'd everwhere. A couple of you(I won't mention names) have made me aware that TTTing threads is a number at a time is unacceptable. I appreciate all the honest PM's. The ones I take acception to are the ones that leave no explantion and say" I do not do business with members who continually break forum rules." If I have offended anyone, I am sorry and will try to abide by all rules in the future. I hope to be able to do bussiness with many of you in the future. I think everyone I have done business with in the past has been more than satisfied and I know I have been more than happy with everything I have bought through the boards. I welcome all responses and all PM's.
Thank You, Wayne(09SVDB)

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • edited to remove sarcasm.

    I do believe the approved method is one "bump" per day (24 hours of time passed). Members do get annoyed when multiple threads are created so my polite suggestion and opinion would be to maybe consolidate your offerings into one or two threads,..... maybe?

    Some will agree and some will not. You can decide whatever method suits your personal feelings, and the expected harmony of those who share the b/s/t board along with you.

    hey Wayne

    i looked at this thread that's at the top of page one and it looks to me like Airplanenut made a mistake and owes you a thread/public apology. i see five TTT's on five seperate days with no edits.

    you probaly ran afoul of the "BST Police" because of the three threads beginning with FSH:----you could have easily combined those three into one. here's a suggestion that might be workable. pick one of the three and add the items from the other two. then delete those two threads. edit the now three-in-one-thread's title and offer a modest apology which should calm the police.

    When a forum member posts in an obviously sincere manner as 09sVDB just did, I think he deserves the courtesy of polite replies from those who respond.

    Edited to add: I was one of the ones that had sent a PM regarding multiple threads being TTT'd in the same day.
  • p8ntp8nt Posts: 2,947 ✭✭✭
    Keets, the stuff in question has now been bumped to the top of page 2. Five threads were all being bumped at once. Wayne, youre fine. Just combine them all to one thread and the world will keep spinning.

    Don't worry about those who were offended. They are probably the self-appointed forum police who need to get a life.

    Some people just need to get a life.

    Old timers don't need to explain themselvs to FNG members.

    exactly. On the other hand, if a member says, in effect, "to hell with you and the rules of decency and respect", the forum (the members and/or the moderator) says,

    "no, to hell with you." and then we don't hear from that member no more

  • I have bought from Wayne in the past and would not hesitate to do so in the future.

    On the subject of how many TTT's you do and when you do them...GET A LIFE FOLKS. If this is the only thing you have in your life...you need therapy, and I think that includes some of our very most revered here. Flame away. I am 63, a tough SOB and you can not get close to me.image

    It would be cool if the mods could introduce software allowing one post per day on the BST. Wanna bump a friend's thread? Bump it. Wanna start or bump your own thread? Go for it. One post per day on the BST. Would that make everyone happy?
  • ToneloverTonelover Posts: 1,554
    Classy response Wayne, you're definitely OK in my book.
  • relayerrelayer Posts: 10,570

    No, but some day I hope to contribute by posting a whining thread about a $40 ebay coin graded 65.231 so I can impress everyone with the power of my negative feedback

  • TTT




    I didn’t know about the “TTT” rule either, but, I think I have only done it about three times.

    In this case, it just seemed funny.

    I like that idea. Or maybe 2 posts.

    Don't pick on Relayer, he is a good guy and meant well with his reply to this post.
  • Why don`t they just make a thread with the rules posted and PIN it to the top of the page. This seems to keep coming up, so i feel that this would be a good solution to a never ending problem.


    If someone wants to start a thread, they could read the rules beforehand, and there should be no questions or problems later.
    If you can read this, your too close.

    Wayne You are A+ #1 In my Book imageimageimage

    I think if you Put all your post together as one and TTT It once a Day That should Make everyone Happy..

    As far as i am concerned With the nice coins i Got from you you can have 50 Threads and TTT the 10 times a day...

    PS that 83-s Is Fantastic imageimageimage
  • 09sVDB09sVDB Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭
    Thanks everyone for the positive reinforcement. I have another solution...........you guys just need to buy everything I have posted and there won't be any threads to TTT! HaHa, thanks again.

  • 09s--a lot of ten year olds post here and have nothing better to do with their life than to make up obscure, unwritten "rules" and flame anyone who doesn't follow them. I would just ignore them and do what you've been doing. Good luck with the sales!
    I heard they were making a French version of Medal of Honor. I wonder how many hotkeys it'll have for "surrender."

    Stuff like this always amazes me because I don't know how to use ttt or is it TTT? Then there is that thing that people do where the printing is dark and they call it a LINK that when you click on it you go somewhere else. I've been a member for several years and was an obsever for a few before that but just never learned all that stuff. So if you do use TTT or whatever to much I guess the more power to you. I would too probably, but just don't know how or even what it is for or what it means. Not long ago I printed out a forum dictionary just to figure out what people are saying. I'm to old for all this.
