I would like to protest over what appeared to be an over zealous warning stated on my thread - 'AFE FLIGHT COMPUTER FOR SALE!'
I believe this was an over reaction on the part of the moderator - Scroggs as I was not aiming to upset the community here on Pprune and thus believe I was treated unfairly.
I am under the impression that countless others have sold books and goods on Pprune without such an insulting, patronizing and threatning comment. What is it then: 'everyone is equal but some are more equal than others?'
I fully believe pprune should not be littered with 'for sale' ads because it is a rumours network after all. Surely though it is not a crime against humanity to start one thread, out of about fifty asking if anyone is interested in buying my whizz wheel. If people don't like my thread, they don't need to read it. It is simple. What is pprune coming to I ask, when moderators- keepers of the peace who should restore harmony to this board instigate such an attack on one's thread.
This is just one example of this kind of behaviour that is becoming more apparent and upsetting countless ppruners in the process.
I fully understand that advertising is banned. Although I believed as a private advertiser I would be exempt from this rule to some degree. In addition to this I would also like to add that many posts and threads on pprune come very close and are in fact blatently advertising and endorsing certain FTOs in some cases.
I was just merely trying to recoup some of the money back from my whizz wheel and anyone wanting to buy it would also profit. Pprune should benefit pilots and seeing how expensive flight training is there should be a forum on here specially for people wanting to sell aviation goods.
A very displeased ppruner,
