Now, when a member is asked to delete a thread, it is done for a reason. When that member chooses to not do as they are asked, then it is the moderators job to handle it as they see fit. They don't make random requests with no reason. Frankly, I find it offensive that anyone would think that OSO would not help in any way they can. Perhaps if that is what you think of the owners and moderators of OSO then maybe this isn't the place for you.[/QUOTE]

you can or come down off your high horse for a moment and apologize

I will make one more post on this and I am done. The real subject at hand is that people have been taken advantage of and lost their hard earned money. It is a horrible thing to have happen and I have the utmost sympathy for them. I feel nothing but contempt for people that do their best to make a living off of taking money from honest, trusting people.

The above information is taken directly from the OSO Terms of Service.

I would hope it is faily self-explanatory. I do believe it covers all of the points in question. To clarify even further, the information that Chrisache had on the seller WAS compared to the information available to OSO and was found to be the same. What further information could OSO have possibly provided?

Donna, let's look at your IP information that I was able to find.
"The IP Address is: 76.112.253.246. The host name is: c-76-112-253-246.hsd1.mi.comcast.net."
The Google map of your IP address location is HERE.
I would say that that is the information that the average Joe might be able to find. Of course I could go deeper I'm sure, I did find a member's deadbeat ex-hubby on a TX wanted list in less than five minutes once. But as you can see, a quick look doesn't get you a whole lot.

Once again I will say that I don't think OSO has EVER been unwilling to help someone as much as possible in this sort of situation. Not only OSO itself, in its present and former ownership, but OSO members as well. However, they are not responsible for the transaction. I dare say they don't want that responsibility. The liability involved would be enormous.

As for my "last paragraph", I am going to take a higher road than some others. First, I stated facts regarding the actions a member and moderators. Second, I stated opinion. Both of which I have every right to do. Whether or not you agree is solely up to you. But there will not be an apology for having an opinion. They are, after all, like other things, we all have one.

RG, thank you for your support. I will stand up for my friends until the end. And I will do the same for OSO.

To the gentlemen looking for the low-life, scum sucking piece of crap that took your money, I hope you find him and he is strung out to dry. Best of luck!

PS: Any reference to a situation regarding any other boating forum had no place on this thread, it was totally irrelevant. Just another opinion.

Centsless

and on a personal note i may have to rethink some of my purchases on OSO like many others that are honest 1st
i too am trusting

chrisasche

WOW, i never thought this would strike so many nerves!!!!! I was just asking for some help, and got a bunch of it!!!!!!!!!! By no means did I want to piss anyone off, thanks for your help, and I AM SORRY IF OSO, OR ANYONE ELSE HAS BEEN OFFENDED BY EITHER ANY OF MY OR ANYONE ELSE'S COMMENTS

BronxPhantom106

ive been calling the bank and havent got a reponse does anyone know whats going on.

chrisasche

seems to be at a standstill

jbones98

I agree. Paypal or credit card is the only way to go. And gives you more power over the transaction.

BronxPhantom106
