While not talked about like the FS threads, this is one that I was on the fence about:

 

http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7355650#Post7355650

:whatthe: Good lord, what a tool this fella can be!

 

Really? I thought that was pretty benign and it sounds like he ended up selling the guy a book…

 

It sure is curious how some people can get away with the same mess and no one bats an eye…

I'm talking about this post: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7356629#Post7356629

 

I'd be right pissed if someone jumped into my WTB thread offering more than I was. That's just not friendly.

Link to what happened? I'd like to see what mods are considering thread derailment

Check out basically every sales thread he posts in. If he's not selling or buying, he's derailing.

 

^^

 

He rarely has anything nice to say and is mostly condescending.

 

 

That describes the majority of posters with over 5000 posts, so clearly that is not a reason for a strike.

 

Hey Swick, add this to the n00b guide, "All 5,000+ posters are dbags"

Yea I figured you were. I think Brock was sort of pointing out that 9.6s were going for a lot more than this guy was offering to pay.

 

Heck my wife bought me a raw copy that graded out to a 9.4 about 5 years ago. I think she paid 150-200 for it if not more. Saying he wanted a 9.6 for $250 was a little foolish.

 

If you keep reading the discussion, Brock explained himself and offered books.

Now that you mention it... I have seen (on several occasions) where someone will enter a sales thread after something has been sold and make the statement (paraphrasing): "I would have paid more."

I've seen a lot of thread crapping in WTB threads and little is done or said about it.

 

Somehow certain boardies get blasted for actions that others get away with…

Yes, that's the part I was referring to as well.

 

However, it is interesting that:

 

A separate person jumped into another's WTB thread and:

a. said his/her price was too low

b. then said he/should would pay more (basically taking over the WTB)

c. then sold the OP the book he/she was looking for

 

Why not just jump to C? Perhaps bring up A and B to increase your sales price?

 

I didn't report anyone, just tracked it as it happened.

Sometimes I do not think it is a consistency issue. I believe it all has to do with the button hump. If no one is offended by the post then there is no reason for a mod to conduct an investigation into the matter. If someone is offended or claim that a post is in violation of the rules, they hump the button and the mod renders a decision.

 

I am sure though that once someone is off strike that the mods check in from time to time to see if a lesson was learned and look to see if their is any overt behavior offensive to guidelines.

 

 

No, it's definitely inconsistency. This moderation team makes many decisions based on how they feel about the poster(s) involved, rather than adhering to a standard set of rules that is just and treats everyone impartially.

 

How else do you explain the fact that one member can call another member a "first class buffoon" and a "mess-stick", have the post be reported (many weeks ago), and yet not removed? Whomever it was on the moderation team decided that was an acceptable post, and so it remains to this day, despite being about as clear and blatant a violation of the board's "rules" as anything.

 

lol

 

Is RMA referring to you? That sounds like your lingo. I am going to try and work in "mess-stick" into a sentence today. lol

 

No it was F_T. I instantly knew the quote. I just find it funny because RockMyAmadeus has posted frequently that no one should ever let another person's words affect them. :ohnoez:

 

That's quite correct. No one should let another person's insults bother them. "Sticks and stones" and all that.

 

And a member insulting another member in that manner is against the board's stated rules, and has no place here.

 

I suppose you imagine those two concepts are mutually exclusive. They are not.

Exactly! That's really what it is.

 

Who goes into someone else's WTB thread and posts they will pay more than the OP? doh!

 

It's just so childish and deserving of a strike.

 

Yes, the OP ended up revising his pricing limits and bought from Brock but a simple PM could have been sufficient. I've had plenty of PMs from people responding to my WTB thread and they didn't even post in the thread itself.

 

He has nice books...just just needs to tone it down

Man, this is like the third time in as many days I've been asked that. I always assume that once I learn something, everyone knows it.

 

BSD = Big Swingin' :)
