Err, why? Brownz was advertising the sale of a bike on a cycling news

Oooh, a plonk by a top poster .... Jeesh, I'm a fretting now Mary Lou ;-)

I marked it OT (although it was advertising my "ex" trusty steed - that has
been replaced by something newer and shinier [1]).

And I also marked it FA (For Auction) rather than FS as its on Fleabay ....
Whats a man gotta do around here !?

[1] Not for long though.

Seems a reasonable post to me. He not only marked it FA, but also OT,
which is a pretty clear indication of the subject matter.

Also, it's not as if the guy posts something every day for auction.

Well, the charter of this group doesn't say that you're allowed to
auction anything.

It doesn't say that you're allowed to mention bicycles.

Is their a Charter?

The link says there isn't one, here. YMMV.

I think that is rather the point. As there is no charter, it is neither
possible to be on or off topic, so the OP was both abiding by and
breaking the charter. As am I. Discussion of the charter is neither
permitted nor prevented by the charter.

While we are on the subject, is it worth setting one up as well as a FAQ?

There's an FAQ?

I haven't had a sighting of these, yet. I googled and on the opening
page found a post to a guy who is already permanently killfiled here,
and to FAQs being posted regularly.

No, hence the PP asking if its worth setting one up 🙂

If I knew how I'd do it 🙂

The first entry in the FAQ should be "Is it worth setting up an FAQ". And
the answer should probably be "No".

Agreed

I can see the benefit in setting up an FAQ. On the other hand, I see no
need for a charter that says much more than 'uk.rec.cycling is a group
for discussion of cycling. Posts relevant to the UK are particularly
welcome. Certain people will be summarily described as trolls.
Discussion of helmets is actively discouraged.'

I could happily host an FAQ on my site. It wouldn't be a wiki but I'm
not sure there's any need for such a thing: I'd just give trusted people
a username and password for the site.

Cheers,
Luke

and now my website's a wiki (and just as soon as I've finished
getting confirmed accounts set up to stop the encyclopedia dramatica
