I am getting sick of all the Forum Drama. Had way more than my fill of scammers, would-be scammers, sketchy deals, witch-hunts, and serious con-artists.
It's makin' me paranoid, punchy, and cynical (sp?). It goes without saying that it makes me angry on multiple levels. The list of serious, serious, regulars with whom I will do business is shrinking by the week.
I don't give a shit about rare parts, new sellers, or even any new Vendors until we somehow get the situation with our Classifieds fixed.
I have seen some good ideas discussed, but would like to know where we are at on implementing some new guidlines and rules. And for the time being, I would like to see it made strict as hell.
Appoint a new Classifieds Moderator for that specific section if necessary. Some anal-retentive, picky, very knowledgable forum member to oversee every single ad and/or Seller. To even be allowed to be a Seller: their State Issued ID and their smiling face next to their vehicle plates. Have the Classifieds Section Moderator do a damn Google Search for their house on satelite photography.
See where their ass went to grade-school, where they work, when they lost their damn cherry, and give us ten fucking personal references. Require their SSN, birth certificate, some damn fingerprints, a blood sample and a retina scan.
Get f*cking buck-ass crazy "fuck off if you don't like it" strict on this sh*t.
I nominate BenFenner for the proposed new Moderator position.
