Closed - Bad idea

Get too fuck mouth on a twig

What’s closed??
Why am I always missing everything??lol

Bro - the OP posted a discussion about 'trading' gear online here. It was a fairly innocuous post but he got a reality check about why it would not happen. Read through the posts and you will get an idea. He got burnt and decided to 'close' the thread by deleting his earlier post.

Thanks for the heads up man.

OP - this is why your original post met with a lot of negativity: "PM trade is completely unverified, and easily can be exploited by those wanting to con or fraud others not to mention a perfect platform for LE snares.

PM trades takes us out of being a review site into the realm of illegal sales and trade. Hence it is forbidden."

If a Mod says it not a good idea - you go with that...or you just go. You have been here since April - you should have read the rules and observed what is acceptable. The topic you raised has been dealt with before - so just do some research. Try posting something that the members can learn from, or be entertained by...an email to a Mod about your post topic before posting could have saved you a lot of drama and lost karma. Learn, move on. Good luck.

Not a good idea to be polite!

So for this... I lost all my Karma ?

Right after your generous +2 he hit a promo with the 5 minimum. Lol..

CBBurrr's picture

at least he is buying promo gear and not trading for it, lol

Fangsharp's picture

Lol....yes a step in the right direction. Too funny

CBBurrr's picture

The great thing about our current model of buying and selling is the anonymity of the seller.
When you trade you have both parties knowing too much info.

Sounds like trouble.
I've thrown out gear.... will do it again

Play your thought out to the end....do you not see the trainwreck disaster this ends in? Can you imagine your personal info is trusted with a complete stranger?
Set aside the implications to this great REVIEW site what your suggesting compromises it.

Ozninjaguy's picture

Just to play devil's advocate - don't we trust our personal info to a complete stranger when we order from sources?

Greg's picture

Pre eroids you'd basically be doing just that with the odds stacked against you.

eroids verifies sources and only verifies those who have a proven track record.
sources on eroids have a motivation to be reliable and trustworthy (relatively speaking)

PM trade is completely unverified, and easily can be exploited by those wanting to con or fraud others not to mention a perfect platform for LE snares.

PM trades takes us out of being a review site into the realm of illegal sales and trade. Hence it is forbidden.

Ozninjaguy's picture

All good points - yes there is a difference - particularly relevant is your last line.

Fangsharp's picture

Yes we do convey a calculated trust based on reviews and other members statements. Thats why I dont get promo whores. Putting your info out there over and over and over.

Ozninjaguy's picture

Agreed. Good reply - just putting it out there for the sake of discussion.

Fangsharp's picture

Im always game for an intelligent conversation. You seem to be a straight up guy Oz ...forgot no homo

TheFlash85's picture

I vouch for ozningaguy, top bloke, honest, kind and intelligent, I predict him as a new up and comer of the site!
I love the fact that finally we have another Aussie like me who actually contributes and is an asset!
Hope you are well ninga, talk soon!

Ozninjaguy's picture

Hey mate! Hope all is well in your world. Thanks for the kind words. (ppsstt! the cheque is in the mail - but..uummm...don't cash it right away...okies?)

TheFlash85's picture

Hahahaha shhh!

Fangsharp's picture

Thx Flash. I know I'm fairly new but by now I know very few newbies end up being an asset. That is just the way of the world.....lol.Have a great day sir

Ozninjaguy's picture

Thanks for the comment. I look forward to intelligent conversations. By straight up I take that as meaning saying it as I see it - and also based upon my research/knowledge - depending on the conversation. The no homo is not necessary (I know it's a joke) - one of the things that Western men are very poor at is giving complements to their partners and their friends. It's a cultural thing - but needs to be changed.

Sounds like the perfect way to order 10 bottles take out half out of each bottle, replace with sterile oil recap and send on its way Smile

Sounds like that would easily fall into the trap of being a PM source..

Dude I’m new here too but this is not what I wanted to join. I’m not here to “trade” I’m here to learn.

"I could never ever trust what I would be receiving is what it’s suppose to be."

While I don't certainly don't support the trade idea proposed by the OP on any level - a hypothetical question: isn't trusting what you receive is what it's supposed to be what you do every time you order gear online?

Ozninjaguy's picture

Agreed. Just putting comments out there for the sake of discussion - and clarification for the lurkers who read these comments but never post.

press1's picture

Exactly, its just like receiving a random sandwich in the post and eating it.

press1's picture

Doesn't general common sense suggest its not worth asking? ..

Bill G's picture

Common sense isn't a reality. It is a fictional character in a fairy tale.

Male / Female or Cyborg style? These are different though, sweat bad breath everything...lol

LMAO... serious? Either a really stupid idea, or the try to get some names!?

No.

giardap's picture

NO

the mods have been crystal clear on what that is, what it means and the implications for the site.

NAW DAWG...I AINT THE PO PO

Greg's picture

...I AINT THE PO PO

Well then, if you say so sign me up. You've got my complete trust. Strange I feel we've bonded, so much so, I feel compelled to add a "no homo".

Please PM me your full name and address and send me an inventory of what you got. I'll definitely trade with you! Trust me.
