I offer no opinion, just the opportunity to read for one's self and consider how one might act so as not to play a negative role in the conduct of a forum.

I can't believe I just read all of that. Yup, glad that ain't how the PAFOA'ers do stuff ;-)

Can someone post the text for those of us who are firewall imparied?

Thanks

It's five pages of a forum thrashing itself to death over what looks very much to be like unequal treatment being given to certain members, one being a vendor, in the failed resolution of a group buy gone very much south.

It's worth waiting for a non-firewalled moment.

Wow! That is a 1/2 hour of my life I will never get back. How ever it is like a train wreck I will continue to follow it to see the outcome. I have been on some messed up boards but damn. Anyone that complains about the mods here should read that. The mods should read it just for entertaining value and how not to do things. That sounded Kinda like getting a friend hired. You just dont do it cause then youll be obligated to cover for them when they mess up.

Yes they were trashing themselves. And continued to do so when some one politely told them other boards were watching. Even the site admin is getting caught up. Thank you Danp for not getting caught up in the drama on this site.

Not possible, it's five pages of poor moderation, shrieking newbs, yapping hyenas, and lube-less screwing.

All in all, a beautiful example of how NOT to run a classifieds section on ANY board.

Good lord, that's pretty pathetic.

Just more proof of how good this board (and by logical extension) we are.

I can't wait to read it then. Hopefully it won't be taken down by the evening, this sounds like my kind of train-wreck

Wow...that's a whole bunch of ugly right there.

Multiple logins? Vendors as moderators?

I'm glad there's a lot more civility and professionalism with our moderators (and members) here. If this board was like that one, I would have never signed up after a few days of lurking.

Blech!
