4. The above means there are no banner ads.
5. Once/If bad vendors get smart and move on, another one will take their place, and the cycle of money/containment continues and the forum stays banner free.
6. Bad vendors keep the forum free for those of us that dont want to/cant pay fees. Like advertising videos before your video on youtube, they suck but they keep it free. Indeed money talks.

Look I get it, bad vendors are about the worst thing to come from the internet, but if we can keep their advertising money and then not give them any business on top of it, I see it as a win/win. Let the other forums deal with the bad vendors. All it takes is a quick google search to find if a vendor is legit or not. As an above poster said, its all public record. Just use your head and let the bad vendors waste their money here, its the easiest way to "stick it to em".

Not when the posts and threads are erased.

Just saying...

I haven't been here as long as some of you, but I don't see a problem.

Are there any specific companies we should look out for?

Why don't we have the mods set-up a vendor rating and feedback system?

We should have that for private sellers as well.

So because you can't pay or don't want to pay to be a member, I have to suffer? Gee thanks! Look I understand where you are coming from to a point, but it's mute to me. I'm also a little offended that you want all the benefits of this forum and don't contribute.

I love the idea of a trader rating system, but it could also be abused. I think a little further research on the moderators part in vendor selection would go a long way.

Edit:AK is responsible for the vendors not any of the mods sorry frost

Maybe that's the point? No disrespect to all the guys that have been around longer than me, like yourself, and don't agree, but I think you're just making stuff up.

The idea to put vendors into a sandbox and keep ads out I think is brilliant. Folks just need to tap into a bit of personal responsibility before sending someone cash. Not a bad deal imo.

Jamaica got fired from UAM for stealing money and other fraudulent activity. He is back under guise of LCR.

Where is the vetting of these vendors?

Making it up? You are insulting many people on here. You are one of the many gullible on this site.

It is what it is.

isn't it about time you let that go? were you personally involved or something?

W.O.W. 370Z · 09-09-2012, 06:24 PM

Yes actually. Does that add any credibility?

it does. it's alway better to talk from personal experience.

otherwise it looks petty.

What happened anyway?

Mr&Mrs · 09-09-2012, 06:28 PM

Look I had good dealings with Andrew so I can not speak out of my terms.

What I can say to you is this:

We are all peers on this forum some of us like family. If you or a family member has something stolen would you just let it go? Would you ever want that person that done you wrong back in your home, or family members home? Doubt it...

W.o.W may stir the pot but he has helped many people that have been done wrong of this forum, so even if he wasn't effected I can understand his resentment and so should you.

and how would some of us new members know that?

maybe a thread about issues with vendors would be a better outlet.

Threads are made and deleted.

Never seen so much push back when trying to do right thing.

You getting a better idea.

Haha! Your profile lists "Lawyer", which implies excellent comprehension skills. So I know you understood what I wrote.

Which makes your misalinged response pure Ad hominem.

i've only read through one of them before it was deleted.

maybe we can get one of the mods to chime in. Are the mods here pretty transparant?
