Default Who has to follow the rules?

The purpose of this section is to let people know of bad business, legal proceedings and stolen items.

In order to post an beware issue in this section, PROOF will need to be posted regarding the transaction. Do not start a thread until you are in a position to tell the whole story, you must post all the information. Contracts, documents, photos, and/or legal papers etc. to back up your claim are very important.

This section is NOT to gripe about an issue you had with a person, individual or company. This is not a section to complain about somebody agreeing to buy something then not. It is not a section to complain about slow service.

He said/she said threads will deleted.

Seems like many of the still active threads do not meet any of the above requirements for dragging people through the internet mud.

But I guess business is business and many of these threads sure keep the post count up, as long as the rules are not enforced.

Um, isnt slow service and issues with your order considered to be bad business? Thats why theres "beware" wording in the forum title.. So you can be aware of a companys poor or slow service.. Not just stolen stuff..

dude this is more informative than anything. Would I neccesarily take every complaint on here as gold? probably not. Because there are people that arent happy dont matter what. I think its more informative than anything. And you think Im going to post every document with my business on here, heck no. Plus if your in litigation to be posting stuff isnt bright.

Just find it interesting that the rules are fairly clear, but many threads continue and are little more than he said, she said. If there are posted rules, should be followed, if not why have rules.

Just an observation.

Are you in any way authorized to delete threads, or are you simply voicing your opinion?

Easy there cowboy, just an observation on my part. Where do you see me telling anyone what to do?

Post count does not mean anything. Lots of high count individuals on many sites that contribute very little.

Just a simple observation. Did not take long to get buried.

It was just a restatement of the "rules" posted by the mod.

My bad, should have hit the quote button, but figured a new thread might get a straight answer. Figured the dudes with BIG seniority would 'get it'.
