July 1st 2013 Changes to the Trading Post

[Goodburbon]

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.

This seems like a reasonable response to keep the board running and some ability to sell private party alive.

Suggestion/question:

Would it be possible to have a disclaimer pop up before a trading post thread is submitted? I'm imagining either an actual popup after hitting submit or a check box on the "compose" screen saying you understand the laws and the site's conditions. If it's not acknowledged your post gets canned. Just as a CYA step for you guys. We know the libtards already want to go after everyone who ever knew the gun existed if it's used in a crime. If possible, this could also automatically place a disclaimer in the post about the need for using an FFL and observing applicable laws.

Probably a lot of work but maybe J can do that in his sleep?

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

same thing.

I don't think your analogy applies, since this is an actively monitored site (by the mods and owner) I think someone dealing drugs right outside the manager’s office would be a better analogy. Are they going to get in trouble the first time.. probably not, but who wants to take that chance.

Ok easy enough. Stop moderating so much, then it can't be argued that it's "monitored".


BOOM! Freedom wins all around.


Or we could go the other way I guess, they've already expressed a propensity to do so regularly.

Its not super simple, and I'd rather an accept it once and be done approach, but I'll see what it takes to implement it in this platform and discuss it with the staff.

Goodbourbon:

You will not be the first named person in a lawsuit or an injunction, I will. I appreciate your conviction to freedom and admire it, but as your freedom infringes on mine by transacting here possibly illegally, I will reserve the right to "do whatever the goddamn hell I feel is best".

Hope you understand, but I don't require it. That is about as blunt as I can put it.

[Goodburbon]

Don't have the balls to stand up for what's right? Sell the site to someone who does.

And I'll let that be the end of my protest.

[J]

Not sure who did it, but good riddance.

[GilpinGuy]

Divide and conquer. We shouldn't be fighting among ourselves here.

The new "rules" seem reasonable given the new laws.

Tracking like a VCR. Thanks for the heads up J!!
