Re: Apology To Mod 1
I thought I did the right thing. At the time, it seemed to be the right decision.<br /><br />I do not recall the offer as being a gift between two iboats members. I could be wrong. It won't be the first time, or the last. We are after all human.<br /><br />As a clarification, solicitations can be free offers for goods and services. A post solely created to "offer" something, I see as a solicitation. If an offer comes up, within a post, to swap some information, a book, or a part-for free-I do not see as an issue. It happens all the time and those are not blocked or deleted. <br /><br />We have the solicitation rules so that iboats is not clogged with SPAM offers. Nobody wants that. We hope the members appreciate us trying to keep the boards as clean as possible so that we can get down to the business of sharing ideas and helping each other.<br /><br />I know Mr. Ladyfish did not mean any harm by his offer. It was a generous one. However, we do not want to give someone (trolling solicitor) the idea that they can post any offer they want to.
