Tír Na HiFi

Well, this is the first time we've had to do this, but this morning, after much discussion among the mods, we banned SydneyK for 1 month. Reason (although we do not have to give any), is continuous use of the for sale section, and we suspect he is commercial selling.


I've stickied this post to allow some transparency.


The admin team

Are all his ads removed then?

The most recent ones for the tuner were removed - but the previous ads are still there.

and kronos is a private seller? grow up and cop on lads.... i cant see too many adverts from this seller....if i put all my unwanted equipment up for sale it wouldnt fit in cloney....also one member is pretty much a commercial seller.... pot,kettle, black and all that.......

This forum is not really designed as a convenient place for selling - its primary purpose is facilitate discussion of all things hifi + music + reviews. It happens that we felt it was an addition to the site to have a for sale section - something I still think is true and hopefully will not be proven wrong about.

Right now I'm not willing to discuss other forum members, I don't think anyone is served by that.

ive just had a look,and this is all down to a little battle of words the seller had with another forum member re the sale of a copland player,you invited comments on this so no point changing your mind now....and i would like a comment on forum rules. to quote top of page...."oh yeah....no commercial selling" when a shop is being encouraged to advertise...woody.

I think Woody is making some valid points and asking some important questions.

I have to concur with both jonnyone and woody's comments. I haven't a clue who SK is nor do I care.Still, I will say that minimum information leads to speculation and bad feeling all round - not a good thing...

Guys, I'm not going to openly discuss another forum member and our decisions - I don't think that would be fair, especially when he doesn't have the right of reply here at the moment. But suffice to say this was a considered decision of all the mods, not just one.

I would remind you of the line:

the mods reserve the right to pull any ad they don't like the look of!

As regards membership and posts from commercial entities, that is taken on a case by case basis and is carefully considered and monitored.

No, nor does it pretend to be.

Nonsense. The reasons are as stated.
