Is this consider a &[b]#34[/b];Post to PM&[b]#34[/b]; Thread??? - Oldie - Jul 1, 2013
I'm confused on the meaning of "Post to PM".
My initial belief is that the rule meant " Post here(to basically b-ump the post) and then PM the thread owner w/ the request. I am very aware that this is against the rules and this was very prevalent in the Giveaway section.
I received a warning, in the "Buyer's Bay" for breaking this rule. How is this even possible? The thread was junked and the warning was given to my account.
In a nut shell, is this against the rules?
" I'm looking to Buy MSP, if you have any please Post or Pm me, because I'm looking to buy"
Notice, That I sad "Post or PM me, not Post then PM me, that would be the worst way to essentially "BUY" something. Why would you give a seller a chore to complete before buying something from them?
I posted "Post or Pm" for Options of communications. Can someone please revise and clarify my warning because I'm not sure what to think or learn from.

Post or Pm me

Yes. Once you ask to post the rule is broken.

Where in Omni's thread does it say once I say "post" the rule is broken, because I'm going on what I'm told what and what not to do.

I know right, now judging by our situation, your post is against me.
Allow me to educate you.
Post or PM, a choice is given, in this case to the visitor to the thread in order to make a profit in some way or form.
Post then/and PM, a choice is not given.
Class dismissed.

I explained that rule to you. I even linked you to Omni's post about it. What is there NOT to understand?
