QC Pics

Recommended Posts

Coopdog

I read the stickied post on not posting QC pics, and I'm sure this has been beaten to death, but why can't someone post QCs if it's already approved and you just want to share pics of the watch? Not for any reason of having people find flaws or review it.

Cos that’s the rules mate :ohwell: 

It just caused too much friction and flame throwing, so the those who must be obeyed decided not to allow it,  I understand what you’re saying about sharing pics after you’ve agreed, but some of the more devious members would use that method to get the pics ok’d by the masses. 

So it’s an outright no posting.

I've never really viewed this rule as an issue, just wait until the watch turns up and share the pics then. Patience is as important in the rep game as money is when buying gens:dingleberry-nemesis:

I am always taken aback by new members questioning forum rules. If you join a club you accept the rules of the club end of.

I'm always taken aback by tools like you who can't answer a simple fucking question, but you don't see me bitching about it.

That's the thing that gets me - there is no context except hey check out these pictures. But I get your point and agree. It seems this forum is 50% very helpful people and 50% trolls who will do the dickhead dance on cue. Like the people who got prickly for me even asking the question.

Firstly, you posted commenting that you were sure it had already been beaten to death. Then why fucking post the question? You're accusing others of trolling but thats the definition of trolling right there.

As to the responses, this forum is a bit more unruly than others, don't like it feel free to find another one, this is the internet, it's always advisable to grow a pair and some thick skin. It's even in the forum rules

Are you upset you didn't get the answer spoon-fed to you? Unfortunately, there are hundreds of similar threads to yours, and it gets old answering the same questions, especially when a simple search would have answered this without you posting a thread. As to how you feel about the answers given by "tools", what do you expect when you ask a stupid question that you acknowledge as being beaten to death already?

 

Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers :asslick:

Im not an expert here but could it also be because maybe some scammers might steal your QC pics and pass them as their own to scam a potential buyer.

@Coopdog

just my two cents here.

Memogelc I think that would be hard because generally they write your order number on a piece of paper or something so you know it's not just a stock photo. 

 

Repguy, grow a thicker skin, I can bitch about whatever I want, it's the Internet. I got a sensible answer I'm satisfied with from pickled, who seems to be a good dude, and a bunch of random hate from people who could have just not posted. 

For a place that claims to be unruly you sure get upset easily

@Coopdog

I remember when I first joined here and I used to think that sometimes members here were being a bit harsh. But the longer I'm here, the more I see the same shit asked over and over again and 99% of the time it's easily answered with a quick search, which was how I got my answers to the simple questions. (Apart from posting pics which drove me fucking nuts for a while)

No one is having a go at you personally, it's more that you have become part of a collective and the built up anger has compounded to a point where each time a question is asked that has been asked a million times before hand, the question asker feels the wrath of all the ignorance that has preceded him.

That being said, I seem to fit in here as I kinda like that sorta thing ;)

Anyway, I hope you come to enjoy your time here as there is a wealth of knowledge to be had, and some really great people to talk to about this most addictive of hobbies, though first impressions can sour future endeavours

This is the perfect opportunity for you to start your own watch forum with your own rules.  Good luck.

Stop disagreeing with OP... just agree like he wants or it's considered mean and unwelcoming.

I am not the dickhead, you are. You were told forum rules state no QC pics after you had already posted them and they were removed. Doesn't matter what you think about it, the rules are the rules and stamping your feet and asking why like a spoilt child won't change them to suit you.

Well if OP got his QC pics removed before posting this, that's even more interesting.

I removed them myself after someone commented that it wasn't allowed. We can all probably chill out. The whole reason for this thread is when I read the rules, even the rules had people commenting that if they were just posted for fun and not critique maybe that's ok. I just wanted to hear why it's such a bad thing; I get that the system would break down if people posted them to get opinions to take back to the dealer. That was never my intent.  Anyway, I took them down, watch arrived, will update with actual pics of you all are interested. I mean no real offense with my brusque manner of speaking but I will try to tone it down if it upsets. And per the actual original post, I wasn't asking if I could do it, I just was curious for an explanation. We can all let this thread die now please. I'm sorry I ever posted it.

Y'know, when we first banned the posting of QC pics, it was to stop the free-for all BS that resulted in folks posting "you should've bought the xyz version instead' which is, of course, not a valid reason to reject a particular watch. You need to do your research BEFORE ordering - once ordered, the only valid reason to reject a watch is if it's damaged or otherwise not as it should be.

Posting of QC's after purchase, however, we figured was just more watch porn. So we allowed 'em. Unfortunately, certain individuals were not able to wrap their brains around this concept and we ended up with yet more  posting of QCs for all the wrong reasons. That's why we ended up with a blanket ban on 'em.
