Star Wars Hotseat ***PROTOTYPE*** 1 OF 2 EVER MADE $50,000.00 banned

Just curious what happened in this thread that got it banned. I was curious about it. I can understand stopping it, but why shield it from view. Aren't we all adults here? I can take criticism, who got so upset? Cmon admins, lets not play the part of Minister of Propaganda.
 
Admin already posted a thread about this. Fortunately for me I lost interest in that thread before it got bad, so I have no idea how bad it was.
 
The moderator indicated it was too much work to clean up so he got rid of the whole thing.

The seller ended up using a lot of profanity and personal attacks when people questioned the sale.

The admin didn't say if he was banned or not.

You are slating it one way are you not? I never understand why people have a problem with a price on a for sale item when they are not even interested in buying it. There are way too many DRAMA QUEENS here. The funny thing is I never get on here and blast anyone's thread not unless it has to do with me. A lot of you Queens and you know who you are just like pumpimg the Drama machine I quess to make you feel better in your shitty little lifes I do not know. I do not know why the same people always seem to start shit over simple threads. I never thought I would get 50 grand for this and that is why I listed it so it will stay with me and I told these Queens that but they keep pumping. If you do not have anything good to say you should shut and no Robotron Jon I am not going away.
 
I dont really understand the issue. Nobody is going to pony up 50G's for something unless they do a ton of research. Although the original ebay info was a bit 'light on truth', it seems to be cleaned up now (so maybe there is some benefit to PP'ing?) and if someone wants to buy it, so be it...If they pay 50g's for something completely based on ebay description, shame on them.
 
The issue is that people get personally offended by something for sale on eBay or CL.

Get over it.

RLEVIN is simply using eBay for advertising. He knows that there's not a snowball's chance in hell he'd get 50k for the thing. He also knows that he put a best offer chance in there and that there are a lot of people who will offer silly money to get something they want.

I think he's pretty smart in how he's doing cheap advertising. For a simple insertion fee he gets all kinds of buzz on the internet through blogs and forums.

Some people just get all pissy about it and that's just plain silly.

Oh, and as for moaning about moderation on the forum... well, that's just silly too. This is a moderated forum. It's not a free speech venue. The moderators are here to keep the place running according to the wishes of the owner.

I'm a moderator on 3 different forums and understand why these guys do what they do. With all the bellyaching that goes on here, I'm surprised that they all don't have ulcers by now.

If there is some genius willing to pay $40K for a NES cartridge... there is one who'd buy this contraption. Never underestimate the absolute stupidity of some people when it comes to money.
 
RLEVIN.. i do think its cool that you guys got this game working, and i hope you get an amount that made it worth your time and money.
 
Again, the thread was closed and removed because it would have taken an extra hour or two to clean up. There were numerous posts by the seller which were non-subtle personal attacks, there were also a decent number of posts by other which were not appropriate, and there were a number of other posts that were borderline. Most of what was left would have been out of context without the removed content. Most of the thread in general was not directly about this 'hotseat' machine.

This is just hurtful.
