I was not surprised to see that almost 40% of the votes in that poll support potential scammers smh...

on a side not about ages...I hate how the ages are broken up everyone has their opinion of when one starts and one ends, they should just be made easier and go by Decade

when soon?

well for those interested I have a squares pool in the water cooler...msg me for details

is promoting gambling for the super bowl allowed on the forum? just curious

That's why they need some tough Spoon love

Sometimes giving the new guy a hard time can be fun !

You guys don't miss a beat ..I was just testing to see if all the bad words really are on lockdown and get auto corrected to Spoon

can I pay you to getting around on posting tutorials asap?

+1, unless the HOS is kept for just the most egregious incidents, it looses it's bite. I didn't vote either, I watch this forum but I got sidetracked and missed it, which is why I'd like the votes to be in CG, with a specific header, Proposal for So and So to enter the HOS, with the thread bumped so more people can see it. The more people who see it and vote, the more relevant any decision becomes. But I don't think it will work without a lead statement, stating exactly what the HOS is for. I think there are newer people who think it equates to being told to sit in the corner in school. It's just that easy for new people to nagivate...or SOT either it seems;) It might be a lack of experience or perspective, as many of the folks advocating most strongly for HOS in the last couple of incidents were not even here for most of the HOS member's inductions much less witnessed their actions first hand. That might be the disconnect as if they don't realize there were full on 5 figures scams and criminal acts amongst those earlier inductees they make think that the PL list is a "jerk list" and the HOS is a "mega jerk list" The red rocks and solarcadet inductions were the furthest afield we'd traveled. It departed from flat out theft and wanton forum destruction to more civil issues, borderline fraud, and simply lying. All are bad actions, but the HOS was carved out as a place mostly for those beyond (or not desirous of) rehabilitation. The argument for including those that thumbed their nose at the lies and misdeeds and the forum in general. That made sense. They didn't want to be here, conform to the laws of civility here, and do right by others here, so it was ensured they would get their wish and not be welcome here. RR and Solar seemed mostly of this ilk. The new breed of unrepentant guys who don't care to conform to the rules set up or to take seriously their duties to others. I get that. It was a stretch from what the HOS started out at, but I got how the discussion went that way. The Menace situation doesn't give me any sense of why or how this fits in with all the other "rogues". Even if ineffective and slow, he seems to be responding and attempting to fix his issues. This leap, from Alleybat (for example), to Solarcadet, to Menace seems to have lost something in translation and it doesn't seem for the better. Maybe it's time to have a third list? I'm personally tired of these guys who come along and cheat people and only feel remorse and try to make it right because they've been caught or called out. Perhaps. Right now we've got a "make things right" list and a "burn in the fires of hell for all eternity" list. We probably need a "relentless anus incapable of empathy and civil dealing" list to fit in between. That's what I'm talking about. A registered repeat offender list. How many times have we seen people get on the PL and then decide 5 months later they want to sell again so they make people whole and get removed from the list? This way a new member can look at this "buyer / seller" beware list and know there may be a chance they'll get screwed because the person has a history. If someone goes on the PL put a ( ) next to their name with a number..it can represent how many times they we're put on the PL...could be a helpful step in the right direction

A--Men brother...I personally was involved with an incident where I only got refunded finally because the seller admitted that if he didn't make it right it would be harder for him to keep selling on the boards... That's why I'm in total agreement with those who are quick to put someone in the HOS sooner..it helps prevent more scams sooner rather than letting it keep happening over time

15 Business Day Coupon for 4 books Received/Verified: Dec 2nd Scheduled for Grading: Dec 20th

Maybe make it a requirement that there is a picture posted with all the books in the thread as one big lot and the date written on a big piece of paper as part of the Rules section of the sales post? I'd say make it a requirement for individual books but for some of the larger sales threads it would be a daunting task and would cover up some of the scans on the books. But just throwing out the idea. I have been trying to think of a way to hold sellers and buyers more accountable on the forums for a few months, just haven't had that one great idea yet.

Was this discussed anywhere yet? http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=91102

I'm amazed that there Are 17 NO votes. I guess those people like getting ripped off and cheated in their daily lives

Cant something be autostamped somehow next to someones name to show they were on the PL or HOS at some point. Like as part of a sig, or on the sidebar next to their name? There has to be a way to work that in somehow? The jury is still out on you! Im a good guy

you definitely dont deserve the PL ... ..but the HOS YES!

As someone stated earlier 1. He used the fake death of his dad to get sympathy from boardies for not paying or shipping books (i forget which) 2. He asked for paypal personal 3. He changed the rules of his sales thread after the was posted Not sure the community is reacting quickly, but rather acting justly! When you use a dying family member as an excuse for anything when its a lie, it deserves far worse than the HOS list on a sales forum. Add to that the other bullet points...

there will always be those people who forgive and forget to easily, its up to us who actually see this is going to be a problem in the future to take a stand, and vote for HOS

i didnt know there was rule against the personal paypal. i will gladly make right on that wrong. Jaybuck43 has not offered me any opportunity to make good on my error. I think you'll find that your name will pretty much be mud around here from now on. (thumbs u Even if you slither off getting put on the lists, too many people here have seen how you conduct yourself. Good luck with any future scams, err, sales. no no they are scams...not sales... wanna buy something? Your fate is sealed. HOS if you are lucky, ban if we are lucky (thumbs u -GI (thumbs u in my mind, he wants to be put on the HOS with his responses, make it so!
