Surely a Mods job?

[EyeFellOva]

Oooooookay, so we all know that TFP have been gettin a little more strict with the rules in the Classifieds section... but life goes on!

So why do a certain handful of people insist on jumping on EVERY new thread without the country in the title and adding one line:

Add country to the title

Did I miss something? Did about 30 people get promoted to moderator status? I think not! Is it a pathetic attempt to bump up post counts? More likely!

It's a complete waste of time, and is as bad as "pm'd". If someone should be telling the people to add the country to the title it should be TFP, it's just as time consuming as actually deleting/locking the thread! If people can't be bothered to read the rules (and the countless threads on the subject) then they deserve to have their threads deleted/locked! We learn from our own mistakes!

Anyone care to add?

no

In all fairness. Posts in classifieds don't add to your post count. So if that is what they are trying to do, they'll be disapointed.

There's no country in this thread title

No, it's not our job to warn peeps to get it right.

As to the rest it sounds like some folks are taking the opportunity to be both helpful and superior.

I find it funny that the majority of people that post on this site are from the uk, and I said majority not all, and that on nearly all the post say uk.

Why don’t they make the rule saying if your posting from outside of the uk you must put your country.

Cannot see the reasoning behind it at all?

Flame away

Because the Mods are mostly American and hate to lose their sense of National Identity in a primarily Brit Forum?

Didn't we own America on once?

Are they?

Anyway, you don't deserve any preferential treatment, just because you were pooped out somewhere in Britain.
Everybody gets the same rules.

You mean like your post? Or this one for that matter?

Incidently - why would anyone actually want to boost their post count? Is there a prize? Can I have mine now?
