Yes, it is sold.
UNFORTUNATELY, after being a member of The Fedora Lounge since 2009 and “One of the Regulars”; having 153 messages, many prior classifieds here with links to EBay items which is ALLOWED HERE and which PROTECTS the BUYER, plus 28 Trophy points. Does THAT make me a NEW MEMBER?? My CLASSIFIED listings are NOW being deleted with comments that I am NOW not “contributing“ enough unless I make inane comments to other threads and implying if I do not, I must be illegitimate or trying to swindle or cheat people. Cancel Culture! SAD.

I left vlj because I apparently hurt someone’s feeling because I voiced my opinion and five star jackets. I was totally blocked from responding to that thread.

Must be AI doing this, makes zero sense otherwise
I’m not sure why you think I am AI and that what I say is nonsense? You can check my profile and see I’ve been a member since 2009, the number of my messages is 155 and search for and read the prior posts I have made, my member name is “Turpin”. Several of my posts to the classifieds have been deleted since my last non-deleted posting on September 5th. I decided not to post classifieds here anymore even though the new rules about posting in the classifieds clearly stated they applied to ”New Members”. When a member sent me a question concerning an item I had posted here, I replied to him and informed him that my posts were now being deleted. Does that make sense?

I believe he’s saying that AI is deleting your posts, not insinuating that you are a bot

Well, I read the notice at the top and it looks like it was updated since the LAST time I checked when my items were deleted. It now states: “You'll need 20 posts at a minimum, or have been a registered member for at least two years, to participate in the classified forum as a seller from here on out.”

SO administrators, since I have been a member for 16 years can I now post to the classified WITHOUT being deleted?

You’re clearly a Victim, probably of new AI rules based framework
Comply or leave the forum, maybe start a new one?

Assuming you kept the same Username there appears to be only three posts on the Vintage Leather Jackets forum in which you expressed an opinion on Five Star jackets.
That thread looked quite amicable with no-one seeming to take offence and your three posts all received several ‘Likes’.
Along with a couple of other members you gave a ‘Thumbs Up’ to the last post in the thread and there was no mention of people being blocked from contributing to it further.



As it may have been deleted was there another thread about Five Star jackets where feelings were hurt and from which you were blocked ?

Someone did express their feelings about what I said and clearly didn’t approve. I don’t remember exactly the wording they used however when I tried to respond, I got a message indicating that I was no longer allowed in that thread. Again, the wording was different than mine but that was the gist of it. At some point I went back and looked for the post and I couldn’t find it. Also, I was very agitated so for more than an hour, I tried to delete my account but I couldn’t figure out how to do that. So my deleted account to me simply means that I no longer visit nor contribute to that forum. It’s a shame because I love leather jackets especially a2 jackets. I enjoy being around like minded folk. I don’t get that type of companionship here where I live.
