mike1458 14 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 His name is lakeland fell. To be honest I think he has come off as it says I can not contact him. I have his address. It was only £10 but still not the point. I really wanted the books. ATB Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stubby 175 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 the only trouble with a name and shame board, is once a member is on it, they simply join again under a different name, and your none the wiser, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rainmaker 7 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 the only trouble with a name and shame board, is once a member is on it, they simply join again under a different name, and your none the wiser, Other boards I frequent operate a 'Trust' system, which is built into the forum software. You can't use the Members' Market until you have at least x number of posts, and if you breach the rules you're IPBanned. Fair enough an IPBan is easy enough to get around, but on top of other protections (especially post requirements and bans for spamming, so you can't spam your way to the Market) it works. Who would bother to get in 500 to 1,000 decent quality posts in order to use a Trust based market system, just to rip someone off for £10 or £20 and then lose access to the board? That's a long time to build up another 1000 posts just to gain a second rip-off tenner... This kind of system also stops the "five post puppy peddlar" dead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
