i joined dp around first of the year cuz a buddy of mine told me the have a lot of 5.7/6.2/6.5 guys on there. well, i have a soft spot for idi's cuz my first car was a 81 grand prix with a 5.7 diesel. anyway my dad has an old 84 el camino with a 5.7 that needs someone to love it. randy the hack was in chat so i entered the room excused myself for interupting and explained that while i was new to dp i had over 500 posts combined on the other three diesel sites i'm on and could the for sale ban (30 days and 25 posts) be lifted since i met the post requirement but not the time one. he says no. i say "any wiggle room at all? i've seen your name on other sites, chances are you have seen mine too." he says (paraphrasing) if i bend the rules for one then others would want the same treatment. i haven't been on any other site for 2 1/2 years. i say "who exactly would know that you bent the rules for me? do you really think anyone knows when i joined?" he says "well, you only have 23 posts, 2 shy and you joined on jan 2 only like 5 more days to go. you don't have long to wait." so i say "well it's obvoius you haven't been on any other sites lately or you would see how everyone thinks the dp sucks and now i know the reason why." i was then promptly kicked out of the chat room! anyway, i'm probably banned but i sure made me feel better and i got a good laugh out of it!
