Calling a spade a spade - obvious banned member is obvious

[GingerApple 7,285]

I'm pleased to read TB99's comments. I feel totally vindicated. I hope those members who have said howwible, mean and nasty things about me reflect on their positions and that we can all move on and enjoy this wonderful forum for what it is.

The watch he sold.

Lots of use of the words genuine and franken to dazzle and amaze those who know no better

Seems it,  at best, may have had a genuine second hand. Not sure how that constitutes a franken really and no proof of it either or the movement as no pics of that either.

My understanding was always for sales of a Swiss ETA you had to give proof.

He went in dry on poor replover2

 

 

 

 

 

He did tell me it was a genuine Swiss eta but didn't provide any proof

The following rule has been added to the sales rules:

Quote

 In addition, if a genuine Swiss movement is claimed an additional tagged photo of the movement (caseback off) MUST be included.  Otherwise, the moment will be deemed to be "claimed ETA (etc)" and priced as per a clone.

Great to see this, but I would have made it say "good quality photo". The quality of some of the photos in the listings were, let's say, questionable. That's not to say that some others aren't also!

If the photo is too poor to verify the MVT origen the sales guys will ask for a new one. I'm trying to keep the rules simple, the mods can interpret from there.

Still kinda obvious that Nightwatchman1 next door is Madaboutwatches1 here who was already called out as being the Nightwatchman1 here who got banned but leaving it to the mods

@deju  as paying guests I feel we need demand a  summery of the weeks events…  

[shyreplover 95]

So the aftermath of this allegation is....

That the seller is innocent but still got his sales posts locked, 1 accuser got banned but the rest were let go, and a new sales rule has been added.

Am I summarizing this event accurately?

[Claddingman 20]

Am still confused LOL. Love a good crime series on telly and this is like one ha.

[Philiusmaximus 5,064]

I wouldn't touch him as a seller. It's.obvious to most what he is. But others seem to want to argue otherwise. No idea why.

Just gonna let you fine gentlemen get on with it

[Claddingman 20]

confused.com  Looking at it to liitle me the bloke seems to be gilty as sin but the crime has been turned onto someone who was trying to make people see he is not good and theyve been banned instead yeah? Was he selling dodgy watches as well? Seems a bit Kim Young Un but eh the site staff must know what they doing.

I can see the member sales now and how is this linked to td's ? are member sellers also trusted  ?  Feel a bit nervous to buy one from member if not so may contact staff first. the watches the other bloke were selling are like what i'm after but much cheaper like 200 or 250 quid.

Normally I would give a thumbs up for this  post, as I agree with the gist of it. However, as you are a Yoo'nited supporter, I will give you nothing bar a thank you for the 3 very easy points last weekend .

M2M sales have always been done on trust, merit and feedback. There is a feedback section here where you can pop a members name into the search and if the seller/ buyer has left them feedback a separate thread should show up. Not everyone leaves feedback though so it’s possible sellers have multiple sales even if nothing is showing. Generally speaking the longer standing the member the more trust worthy they are (not always the case). There’s been multiple bargains posted here by newer members which I’ve avoided because of lack of feedback/ fairly fresh account. Nothing is certain in life but you’ll likely be safe if you research the member before falling for the watch. Most of the sellers here are good guys who are in this hobby for the love of watches, not to scam a few hundred quid, that being said always use due diligence!

Question for the mods: Can banned members still view their messages on the site and reply to same?

I think it's time for those who have this attitude that staff are in on some conspiracy, simply fuck off the forum now. 

The truth is this had all been discussed to the highest levels, everything was looked into at a multi forum level, there were actually no hard facts that linked up. No names, no ID, no IP’s no VPN’s. So yeah a lot of people with all of access to non public details looked other this. 

The seller in question never had one issue. NOT ONE. The seller when requested for better pictures and clarity always responded. 

The Market decides the price not us. If it's too high don't buy. 

And while there are those that want to bitch and moan about it as some sort of personal crusade. THE MOTHER FUCKING ICELANDIC SCAMMER CAME BACK AND ACTUALLY SCAMMED PEOPLE. 

But you lot go on your Holy Crusade…. Wonderful. 

Don’t like the seller or price don't buy.

But on this occasion, putting your focus on this matter which was being delt with through proper channels, you have all allowed the real scammer to have a fucking ball. 

Don't like Madaboutwatches1, block the cunt, don't buy from him.

TL;DR any members who intimate staff are co conspirators, that staff did nothing or that staff are allowing a scammer to operate. 

INSTANT BAN.

Was discussing this with Ginger, as far as I'm aware when banned the user can log in but there would be no permission to access any topics or forums or DM’s. 

It almost looks like a bare bones empty forum.
