I owe Frank money right now... and I want to spend more with him. Bring on the books Frank! M

Paul was one of the first people to buy from me on the boards... plus I've bought a few items from him. I have nothing but high regards for his service and friendship. Simply great to deal with. M

Please leave me feedback if you want. It will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks to everyone I've dealt with so far! Michael

Yes you do! Just to warn us not to deal with him.

That's a fair point. I guess what I'm getting at is that the last offenses that weren't cleared up with a little communication were thrown right to the HOS. My concern is that if people keep bypassing the probation list and go right to the HOS, the HOS will lose it's impact. Kind of like having your favorite food for dinner...it's great once in a while, but it loses its appeal if you have it every night. Not a great analogy, but it works well enough. And to be clear, I am very aware of the whole AlleyBat/VTcomics scenario. In fact, it was my first read in the probation area. However, as has already been discussed, value shouldn't be the only determining factor in induction into the HOS and the fact that AlleyBat was eventually revealed as a shill several times over helped out my first point...he was well-known (maybe infamous is a better word) board member before the scam went down. As for the people saying that machinegunned only intended to scam people from the get-go, I get that. He had no intention of delivering any product and his intent was malicious. I could say that 'at least everyone got their money back', but that argument has more holes than a block of swiss cheese...I'm not sure even RMA could successfully defend that point (although he'd try tooth and nail if he felt like it). However, the fact that he intended to scam people and leave lends to the fact that he was very fly-by-night. Especially now that he's been banned, he won't be coming back under the same name and there would be no getting off the probation list anyway. I think that most people who get scammed on here will feel that their particular scammer should go into the HOS. That's a natural reaction. I'm just thinking that if everyone starts bypassing the probation list and going right to the Hall of Shame, will people even pay attention to the probation list anymore? I'd like to state again that I am in no way defending machine gunned. I always appreciate a civil discussion. I understand you are not defending Machine Gunned... but if flat out stealing from someone doesn't justify a total ban and HOS status, what does? I mean if Machine Gunned broke into your home and attempted to steal everything in it, but got caught or thwarted in the process... wouldn't you think that he should be brought up on charges regardless of wether he got anything out of your house or not? This guy was a THIEF.... plain and simple. He deserves to be treated like a THIEF and "prosecuted" like one as well. The only good thing that has came from my experience with him is that now we boardies have coined the term "Machine Gunned". He will live on in infamy!

I second this. Get him on the Hall of Shame and help prevent someone else from getting scammed in the future. A good idea, but most likely if he comes back it will be under another screen name. The HOS listing should have the real name he gave everyone and his general location. Now thats a great idea! I am all for it. I wonder how CGC will feel about that as posting someone's real name (he deserved it) could come back to haunt them. You're correct. Hey did I ever tell you who my favorite muscians are...? Wu Tang Klan, Mariah Carey & Pete Townsend. Oh and Steven Tyler just got pushed off stage by Joe Perry. The clip is everywhere.

I think Paypal has refunded everyone affected by the malicious MachineGunned. I'm requesting Hall of Shame status for him due to a deliberate attempt to deceive and steal from multiple board members. This person was here for one reason only and that reason was to steal. We are all very lucky that Paypal actually came in there for us this time.

Anytime Shark ! Thanks a bunch (thumbs u

I'm fine with waiting till the 30 days are up, but I say he goes in the Hall of Shame, not on the Probation List. He ripped off a lot of people .... All the more reason to get him on there now... I feel the quicker we get that "loss" on the list, the more people we might be able to make aware of the problem MachineGunned has been... that said I do understand that 30 days is the rule. I'm just hoping that majority rule will get him on there quicker.

I know it hasn't been 30 days yet but I think that MachineGunned needs to go ahead and be added to the probation list. I've received no contact back from him... and no product either. Can I get a second motion from anyone to add him to the list now?

Right on, Joanna... Glad it got there safe! Right back atcha, Mike! Glad you dig them, Keith!
