Who said this?
For a long time, we had a free stuff thread going in 94-95 that was staff approved. I think it was like the "Cleaning out the garage" thread, or some appropriately named topic to that effect.
Oh, you stickied the thread for yourself when it was convenient for you to clear some space in your own garage, but we can't benefit from the same exposure? That's pretty selfish. Myself and a few other guys on here have expressed interest in clearing out some space ourselves, and other members will benefit from it as well. You know how it goes, "one man's trash is another man's treasure." Just ask lxnotch92 as his new FREE head gasket will be on the way to his house next week.
Here's a novel idea... How about just thanking VibrantRedGT for making the request to staff on your behalf and pressing on with the decision even though you don't necessarily agree with it. The job of administering a board of this size is not as arbitrary as you might think it is.
Here's the deal... We have a VERY active classifieds section. You can go to the category of Mustang you like and list stuff as free, or sale or whatever you like. The bottom line is there will be no commerce threads in the technical or talk forums. Not everyone wants to weed through a ton of, "for sale" or "free to good home" threads to get to the meat of whatever it they're looking for.
So instead, we have a designated section for JUST THAT. Use it or don't.
Really? That's how you interpreted what he said?

No one is asking for 200 For Sale threads littering the talk and tech boards. I (we) requested that a single thread be stickied as a single, common, and readily noticeable place for the 5.0 Talk crowd to post up parts that are free to a good home. I even proposed using the honor system to have the actual shipping costs covered by the recipient. Explain to me where the harm in that lies? The 5.0 Talk section is more tightly knit than any other section on this board, and as such, a request like this is justified in my eyes and clearly justified in the eyes of the majority of my peers. A single stickied thread at the top of a page required a braintrust of moderators and a majority vote to get approved? I've spent six years on this site and earned my venom and right to be heard as much as anyone else, and I feel your decision is bull****, in no uncertain terms.
The real bottomline is that you guys feel the need to flex your internet muscles in a nonsensical manner by keeping an issue (any arbitrary issue) under your thumb for no real quantifiable reason. With all due respect, in case you haven't noticed, you are not the Secretary of State nor the head of the CIA. You're a website moderator. The requirement for your job on here is having a pulse and access to the internet. In 2012, that's not saying much of anything. I've spoken my piece and I'm done here.
