You are being a tool. Stop it.
that the mods (not even the actual tool) are going to ban me... Maybe take a step back and ease up just a little.
Well, the last person that was caught post farming in rapid succession (which is what you were doing earlier) because they had a watch they wanted to sell (which you had stated you have), they had been banned by a mod.
So…
Buzz kill.
I can see that. And yeah, I was trying to build up my post count some,
I'm being a tool?
I think being a tool is someone who has a notification set for every single thread on this entire forum, so they are reportedly "fυcking annoyed" by my activity, and then deciding to police it and send me a private message threatening me that the mods (not even the actual tool) are going to ban me... Maybe take a step back and ease up just a little. Honestly, I'd buy the dude a beer IRL and hope to impart some enjoyment into his day.

I didn’t “threaten” you, because I can’t. I have no say in who gets banned here. I warned you that if you kept going, the mods would ban you.
Your last PM to me was to say that you appreciated my advice...I guess not so much after all, eh?
"If you don't stop" was your subject line. There is such a thing as being verbally threatening, and seeing that in your inbox is a pretty aggressive move. Just as much as you're discounting my words – however few of them they are, though thoughtfully applied – you have to see how the tone of yours come across...
Since you joined OF before the 200 post rule went into affect as @dennisthemenace suggested earlier, you are grandfathered for being able to post to the sales forms with a lower post count- so there is no need to post farm.
But as the community doesn’t know you very well, there is the probability that you may have to jump through a few more hoops with a prospective buyer, sit on the watch longer, or come in at a lower than market price since you don’t have any “cred” to speak of here yet- much is based on trust.
Beat of luck with your watch sale and I hope you stick around for the conversation.
Yes, that’s what I sad. It was a warning...again I have no say in who gets banned.
And you essentially denied pumping up your post count, saying that you were just “catching up”, and now have admitted you were doing exactly that...🤦
I can see that. And yeah, I was trying to build up my post count some, but I was genuinely trying to post something to do with the thread based on my opinion of what was happening... There ARE a ton of bracelet options for Speedys, an all-black dive watch IS useless as a real tool watch, I DO have experience sourcing bracelets for a frustrating 19mm lugged 168.XXX Constellation ... I wasn't posting pictures of cats. Is it not "Wild" that someone would mess up the dial of a classic moonwatch? I think so. 😉
Is that a thing?
Seriously?
I'm genuinely not trying to cause any annoyance here. But every time I go to the Private Sales Forum, I get red text "200 POSTS. NO EXCEPTIONS." So if you can see past the bluster with which I am trying to both make light of my actions and defend myself, you can understand that I was trying to find a way to offer a watch to the community.
I am not some grey market rat trying to bait and switch here. I went through a genuine Omega journey on my own but had an immediate need to sell a watch. Fortunately, I found a buyer this afternoon after all of this banter.
I genuinely enjoy the conversations here. I do. While this wasn't quite the "mob after me," it was urgent. I wasn't aware of a grandfather clause.
