ps I apologise for threatening to burn your boomerang last time my listing was waiting 10 minutes for approval. 😀
No worries mate, just make another.

I did make a wooden one a few years ago, about the size of my arm from shoulder to wrist. Boodly lethal thing!

Give the 5 names to the OF community 😀)))))), why complaining ? , I see many advantages of this , generally the mods knows well and in my case I was warned that the watch was a redial , for the benefit of the OF security I remove it , and allways appreciate this on every WTS posted , and of course everything is FREE what else,

I don’t care if they take a day or more before being posted .

Ha ha they said they will “take their business elsewhere” don’t they realize this is a forum and the sales section is just that. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist the sales thing is just set up for members, and obviously some dealers, to sell stuff without fees to this place. I wish you could mention who said that so I could be sure never to purchase from them but alas I shall just let it go.

Better yet, show then the door...

I have to admit to being a bit annoyed when my last listing took about 22 hours to get approved. In the end I guess it doesn't matter, but now I am glad I at least didn't message any of the moderators about the issue 😁

@dsio Do you still get the “I have a right to Free Speech , it’s in the constitution” PMs when you delete someone’s post. ( even though it’s your website and it’s in Australia )
Huh. Don't know that I ever thought about where it is, except "here".

Moderation takes two days and they get hissy?

Listen, kid, when we called on the phone to get something from the Sears catalog, it took a MONTH. Calm the frak down.

Called....catalog ...what are those words you write?
Try posting an advert in your local Citipaper...took a month until is was listed, then lost under the “SWM seeking anything that moves” and above the “room to rent- must love cats....lots of cats”.

Still love @Trev s post
I haven’t had that one in quite a while, the first amendment as a reason to get FS access I think was last tried in 2018 or 2019.

I think I told the guy that as an Australian I’ve never read my own country’s constitution so it wasn’t likely I’d read his or something to that effect but there have been Europeans quoting EU law and even another Aussie making demands so it’s not an American thing, every nation has demanding male Karen’s.

I admit to being less gruntled about some policies but moderating FS... ain't one of them.

More examples of 21st century sense of entitlement and expectation of immediate gratification? If these folk can stick their watch on eBay and be up and running instantly, perhaps in their head they believe OF should be no different?

Frankly I’m amazed at how smoothly and speedily things happen in this place given it’s run by a group of volunteers. Truly grateful to you guys and for what you do to keep this place running so well.

Actually we have a secret value rating for each member (adjusted daily). We then cross reference that with the Omega forums time reference sheet (adjusted daily) to determine how many minutes, hours, or days a given member must wait before given approval.
One can easily see how that would affect Conelpueblo’s approval times varying tremendously from day to day 🙄 .

You guys must have spent a fortune in consulting to have such a scheme set up 😲

As you may know, there is an active thread on the dark-web mirror-OF speculating about this value-rating algorithm.
