Hi.

I have sent a pm to prank and r31nismoid and have had no reply for a while now.

What I would like to be able to do is edit my phone number out of old for sale posts.

I'm sick of getting contacted way after items are sold, even when I have updated them as sold.

I sort of understand why we aren't allowed to edit posts, but would like it if either a mod could delete my number from all posts or give me temporary edit rights so I can do it.

Cheers

Ben

Just to help you out Ben I would recommend in future that any For Sale threads you create, you only send your number privately to the interested buyer.

What is that saying? "what you post on the net stays on the net"

I get the concern with scammers, but seriously.... I've sold heaps of stuff. Heaps of people have come to my house to buy it. I've posted things worth over 1000.

I have clearly made a lot of posts.

It would be a person way more dedicated than me to spend over a year helping the community, selling a lot of stuff then to just try to scam people. Especially considering the fact I have never hidden my number, or asked people to meet me away from home etc.

It's just as time has gone on I have found having my number on the net is annoying to me.

I understand my request means work for someone, but realistically I'm still entitled to ask.

Anyway, its actually a part of the rules of the for sale section to post a phone number, and I appreciate that. What I don't understand is why it has to stay there after the item is sold.

Many other forums delete or completely edit threads once the item is sold. This forum has decided for some reason to leave the thread intact, I presume to get more google hits. That's cool. But why leave the number there?

Anyway, hopefully it's easy to edit them for me, or give me temporary editing rights.

Cheers

Not trying to spark an argument.

I just double checked the "SA Section - For Sale" thread and I did not see anything mentioned about it being compulsory to post your phone number?

Anyway despite the above I hope for your sake you can get your number removed....

Its in the main for sale section rules, number 8, can't say I've read the SA sections rules. They also say must include a valid email address, which is just silly. Perhaps its time to update them.

Its not like the rules are really enforced though....

Its not a huge issue at the end of the day.

Perhaps if a mod could explain why we can't edit posts after a certain time?

Cheers

Ben

Sorry - Missed PM's, i dont set them to notify me (i only check them once a week/fortnight).

If you use the "report post" button, then everyone in the team should see it (ie heaps of us), rather than just a single private message. That way anyone can action it when they get a few spare mins in their day.

I'll sort it out later today for you.

RE: Post editing - to stop scammers who would edit entire posts at once after ripping someone off so there was no way of tracking them or what the goods were. It cannot be enabled for a 'single instance' or anyting, it's a global change.

Thanks for clearing that up.

How hard would it be to do a word filter style replace of my phone number? Replace with pm for number or something similar?

Cheers

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
