The "system" for creating and maintaining an ad her sucks, and nobody buys much of anything that does remain listed, so there isn't much point in going through the PITA BS that comes with an ad (like multiple invoice PM's for a "free" ad). It makes the site look rather retarded.
Whenever any site goes from a hobby trying to cover its operating expenses with ads, to a money-making machine owned by some corporations that own forums, then it usually goes down the tubes. That has happened to most of the other hobby forums I belong to, so I imagine it happened here too.
Well, that and the fact that this hobby does often seem to be circling the drain (caused partly by the big corporations that bought up most of the smaller hobby businesses).
Greed make the world go 'round, but it also destroys anything in its path.

Please don’t make it “Forum” base where people can make comments to the ad. There are guys on here that think they are the police and make ignorant comments on the forum ad. I have quit advertising on here, because I couldn’t delete an ignorant comment that ruined my ad. I asked a moderator to delete the comment, and he didn’t. So I quit advertising. On RCG, at least the person placing the ad is also the moderator of the Ad and can delete and block ignorant comments.
Thanks.

In my ad here, Jet John made a derogatory comment, and was corrected by highhorse.

I may have others, but haven’t looked back through the rest of my old ads. These two ads were placed 6/21 & 10/21.
Thank you Joel for your work on this project.

I did find where I was emailing PM to highhorse. I told him that Zeeb was the reason why I quit advertising on here. I have only posted 5 ads since the 10/21 ad.
I was still frustrated about RCU open forum ads that I started a forum asking others opinion if unsolicited opinions should be allowed on an ad. In the forum, I seem to have thought that I had asked a moderator to delete Zeeb’s post. But couldn’t find it.

If such a thing already exists then please accept my apologies in advance. Now I know its slightly off topic but what I am often wondering is this. The moderator team,, who are they anymore and what areas do they cover. So when it comes to looking for moderator help, one can reach out to the moderator which is best suited for the issue at hand.
Is there a list or even a table that can be found that defines this?

If there's a post in the Marketplace I'm interested as a modeler in and I see sniping about prices or whatever I usually just delete it but I don't read every ad so if there's an issue just click REPORT and someone will look at it, we may not always agree its a rules violation and take action, but it will get looked at
