  1.  Andy I guess it is a matter of mind set you say filter I say police.  I prefer an aggressive proactive policing so do the best I can to protect us in that manor. It would be safe to say I would not be kindly disposed to a less active position. When we were wide open with no PP I was on other boards checking guys content to see who they bought it from & original sales thread then checking out feedback on sales even where they lived had two guys same small town doing feedback circle jerk raised an eyebrow. Set PMs asked questions got hold of guys I knew there asked them about person/s of interest. I am not the smartest guy in the world but I am relentless once I smell a rat. To be clear I was not in the running to buy just looked to good to be true so off on the hunt I went. To me that is policing a sales thread just thought more of you guys could send me leads or misgivings (Nanuq already has) on things to investigate and most importantly as very time consuming help bounce around other boards collecting data to share if we feel someone not on the up and up. Either way I will remain vigilant can not stop them all but ain't going to make it easy for them, bad guys go to the easiest marks our RWG ain't going to be easy.

  2. As you are aware after reading Tudor Snowflake thread I tried to help out before it really got ugly. That being said clusterf**k anyway.

    Now on to other comments.

    Tagged pics: needs to be in there.

    Communication:  Is Key

    Buyers be ready to pay or go away. (put that on the bottom of all your sale!)

    Sellers see communication

    Now to Sgtguk's question, yes just who is delegated to handle sales thread? If there is not a specific person then there should be one or two considering time zones and such.I do not want to hear it is to much work (we all have jobs ,kids etc) then do not be a Mod you accept the title with it comes responsibility. I personally read each new sale just to see who it is always looking for problems or scammers. Content ,tenor, syntax in sales postings have lead me to prior banned members and they were exposed, I search other boards for info also. I will leave it at that as they are reading also do not doubt it. :pimp:

     

    PS  I can just about change a link but know my way around the boards, dealers and pricing so this is my way of being a contributing member, others know movements crowns you name it my skill set is somewhat different.  Not to proud to say could use some help. :notworthy:

  3. Time in, post count, content all play in the mix. I have dealt with noob's first buy here on a few occasions without incident so am not gun shy when it comes to dealing with new members. Now a 5-6 hundred rep maybe not so unconcerned 100 dollar item ,roll the dice. As far as questions I try to answer ones that I deem have merit, the obvious noob in a hurry to get a watch and never seen again ones not so much. As others have commented on other boards it is a full time sport roasting noobs, thank goodness we hold ourselves above that.

  4. hambone ,there is a cure I personally helped a close friend with the six month grueling regiment. It was brand new when he was put on it one of the first outside clinicial

    studies to use. He is now free of the disease but the damage is done to liver etc from his time being infected leave him not feeling well often. However he came over helped me fix my tractor yesterday goes to the store in his car and the like so positive outcome considering.SO as hambone said GET TESTED caught early you could have little internal damage. I know I have you thinking buddy yes the treatment did involve interferon injection daily along with other drugs ,but it did work. No re-occurrence in over a year.

    Please feel free to PM if you want more info.
