July 1st 2013 Changes to the Trading Post

[J]

Agreed. My bigger worry is a court coming after the site for facilitating the sale if one slipped through due to ignorance or willful disobedience. It wouldn't be hard to get a court injunction telling us we can't allow sales facilitated here if one went bad and ended up in court. I for one value the Trading Post, and don't want to see it forced into closure.

Pssst... you realize that is the site owner you speak to, right? I warned you to check your emotions, as I sympathize with it. I have them too, but I have to take logic over emotion to protect our club. It seems that you failed to heed my advice.

I don't know if I'd consider this Nazi Germany, but it is also not a democracy. Sorry, but ain't so.

Please review my previous comments. With the suits and injunctions released recently, we don't want to lose the trading post here, or god forbid the site in general because someone messed up a sale in the TP.

Everyone agrees to the rules, and will be expected to follow them. As you can see in my OP, the punishment will be decided at the discretion of site staff. Just like now, it is pretty common that people don't put values to trade ads, we don't slam them into a wall. The same will be true for honest mistakes on these points.

But I don't want to lose the TP here, looks like we will lose the RMGO cologunmarket with these bills. Talk is that armslist may not be too keen on Colorado sales. This might be all we have left. We need to make sure we protect it so that a few idiots don't bring about its demise. Is that so Nazi-esque? Is it so unbearable?

I think not.

So we're going to bend over backwards to appease them ....really? That's how we stand? God what a bunch of jello.

Why don't you just leave the trading post as is, leave it up to the end user to make the decision to comply with these onerous laws or not. Stop trying to enforce the law for the government.

Accessory to a crime is already on the statutes. Facilitating any illegal act is already illegal.

Your not doing yourself any favors here. You want to argue with the Boss send him a PM.

No thanks, If I take issue with something they're doing, I'll have the balls to do so publicly.

Another one of you? Read the comments to the thread.

If a sale is caught going through this site, Marlin, Myself and possible others could be charged or sued for facilitating the transfer. Not to mention an injunction would be almost immediate to close the TP and stop letting people sell/buy through the site, or even close the site down entirely.

Other sites that do the sales are in talks of closing down.

I'm losing patience here, FAST! I've been trying to be patient, as we all hate these laws.

GGGAAAAAHHHHH!
Just remember what Freedom felt like and vow a return to it.
(Or at least some freedom.... what they would allow us... my - we have fallen far.... :*(

That said... I will follow the rules of this site for any and all transactions conducted through here.

Would wal mart be held repsonsible if a drug deal goes down in the parking lot?

same thing.
