    Ok,

    since two guy want to play dueling reports, where they both want to report each other for a PX non-sale that happened I have a new rule

    if you can’t handle your shit, and you want to play games both in posting and reporting, I will simply ban both parties

    permanently,

    the PX is our of control, more than too busy, in fact I raised the price to buy in so less would use it, and more still use it.

    if I see an issue, if I get your report, and I don’t like how you’re playing, I am banning both sides permanently

    most of the reports, we reject, they are for small silly things we can easily reject. The others are normally pretty blatant, like selling outside the PX. But lately it’s two jerks using it to settle a score.

    we like the reports, but If you use it to settle a score or to endlessly whine, goodbye.

    no patience for the bullshit - consider this warning number one, two is permanent ban whether you saw one or not
     
    Start High, reduce a little after each successful sale?
    Sort of like a deposit.

    Charge too much and sellers will sell at above retail.

    You know my thoughts on this.

    Publish the reports. If nothing else, it would be hilarious.
     
    We need a Sniper's Hide Dumbshit section

    Presumably this is where the staff would publish all the butt hurt reports? once per week the staff posts all the reports from the prior week and corresponding list of (dumb fucks) reporters.

    After a few weeks or so, reporting volume will drop off to near zero and the staff can go back to dealing with things that matter.
     
    Way to go. I was reading a thread last night and could not believe how stupid the posts were on both sides over a deal that never happened might be the one that caused all this. All I have to say is do stupid shit get stupid consequences. I really like the hide and just want to say thanks to all those that put their time and effort in to make it a success.
     
    Another forum I frequent will change the user’s name and avatar if the “management” wants to make a statement about somebody’s actions or words, but not quite ban somebody yet. More like they make an example and call attention to people being dumbasses. The “offender” usually straighten up to get their user name back, or they go apeshit and then get permanent-banned over their actions. Either way the situation get rectified. But sometimes it is entertaining.

    You Frank have way more patience than I would have had. I would have said from the get-go that the report function is not a fucking toy and those who abuse it get the boot for good.
     
    Sad. PX used to run pretty smoothly and had good people and stuff on it. I know I’ve bought tons and sold tons of crap on it over the years, before all the site changes and then back to what it is now. It’s very sad that is has apparently turned into a shit show now. Admittedly, I haven’t used it in years because of all the BS I’ve either seen or heard about going on.
     
    The problem is most dumbshits dont know they are dumbshits. The older i get the more attractive being a hermit looks ... too much stupid in this world.

    That's why it's our duty to let them know when they are, in fact, dumbshits. Pretty sure that was part of an oath I once swore..."To defend this nation from all enemies, foreign and dumbshit"...
     
    It seems like a lot of people are now scared about getting scammed on the PX. It was never like that in the past, but now everyone is worried, and seems to think there scammers on the site. Having said that I think its all a conspiracy theory's created by worry warts. I have never had any problem buying or selling anything there.

    Not only that they left feedback, and posted in each other’s threads

    on top of the reports
    Might be time for some Adult, out of the box intervention. If money is the only thing they understand jump deep into their pockets. That seems to work the best for many things these days. If that fails the final option is always still open. Frankly I'm still amassed you keep putting up with that headache. I remember when you closed it down the first time long ago, an was shocked when you opened it back up. Back then you had no where near the whine bagging Gucci children, that are here now. You hooked on Goodies or extra strength Tylenol, yet?

    Lol there are scammers that try here. Scammers are prevalent everywhere in life/the internet’s now. Gotta take precautions.
     
    knock on wood, but i've never had a problem with anyone buying or selling. The mods have enough to do i'm sure with this site , without moderating a hair pulling fight. Ban'm
     
    Its simple.

    1. Buyer beware. if you are nervous about a transaction, then don't.

    2. Don't buy or sell to noobs unless you are willing to increase your risk of getting screwed.

    3. Research a buyers/sellers posts in the forum. They have a brain, or just tagging threads to rack up a post count?

    4. Don't complicate a transaction. You want to play escrow, then use a third party (brick and mortar FFL) and pay the fee.

    5. Read the damn rules in the stickies an abide by them.

    6. If you get screwed, suck it up, call it lesson learned and solve your own problems. Don't expect a social media MOD to do it for you.

    Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but I thought, waaaayyyy back in the day, there was a "Hall of Shame" sticky thread or something for all the dumb ass shit posts people would make and get banned for?

    Maybe I'm thinking of another forum, but for some reason I wanna say it was here...
     


    A Crybaby report are equivalent to ”one jelly donut”.


    That scene doesn't relate to this scene. That scene is about a certain total authoritative style leadership that only occurrs in a vacuum. Outside that vacuum it doesn't work. In the vacuum it is designed not to work for everyone as well. Pyle became a most excellent boot camp Marine but no way was he going to make it outside. This scene is about a virtual post exchange. Two completely different things. BTW, the unlock footlocker is the relavent offense. Not the jelly donut. Jeeze.

    I’ve never had an issue with the PX, but then again after getting totally screwed on another forum I’m seriously cautious about who I deal with.

    Any time I’ve ever had an issue elsewhere I just reached out to the seller and we sorted it like adults.

    If we did have something like that, it should be called "stupid shit that will get you banned" and be stickied to the top of every forum, just like the rules. JMHO

    The footlocker is the PX. The jelly donut is the whiny pussy reports. The soap in the sock party is what “unfucks” Pvt Pyle.
