why have distinction between good guy, bad guy, and info in the boi section?

[Genefreak339]

I would like to know why the distinction between good guy, bad guy, inquiries, and info on the boi threads. If people are allowed to say bad guy things on a good guy thread, good things on a bad guy thread, move a convo that started on an inquirie thread to whatever thread they feel necessary why even separate the different threads why not just let it be a "free for all" which is what it has pretty much turned into. To me a good guy thread would be about good transactions only, a bad guy thread for bad transactions and inquiries everything in between but that's just my opinion. I asked this question in the boi but was asked not to ask it there and move it to here. When asked the mod said:

Doesn't work that way. If your name is in the title, people can post inquiries, information, good experiences, or bad experiences within the thread...

So I'm just wondering why even have different labeled threads in the boi if they are all the same?

So I was asked to move my questions here and I did... But instead of answering my qustion or waiting for someone to, "someone" sends me a bad karma rating? Really great use of the karma system! I am simply asking a question not trying to run the site.... Isnt that what this section of the board is for to ask questions like these? I dont see how you get off giving me bad karma... Or is just you trying to give me as much bad karma as you can because god knows you have givin me 60% of my bad karma and I can post screen shots to prove it if you would like.

You and I both know it isn't a question, it's a whine that people are able to step into your good guy threads and post information regarding your questionable at best background. You don't like it that you're going to be exposed at every step.

Well that's your opinion. It actually is a question! I asked it in the boi section now I am asking it here in the correct section to ask these kind of questions. Call it what you want but I'm still asking.

Your exposing me as what a scammer? I must be the only guy on this board that is a scammer with no bad guy report and multiple good guy ones. But I'm not trying to get off subject. Have a great day!

The 'bad guy' 'good guy' and 'inquiry' labels are just in the subject header of the thread and are chosen by the original poster of said thread. It is up to the orignal poster to decide what label to put on the thread. Now, in the course of the thread as evidence from either party is disclosed, it may turn out that the original label may not be correct (seen plenty of threads that were 'bad guy seller' that turned out to be because of an unreasonable buyer, etc). Once the thread title is chosen, it's locked and cannot be changed (just like BOI posts cannot be edited).

Also, per the rules, we are encouraged to post additional dealings within whatever BOI thread already exists for 'said person' instead of starting a new thread everytime, hense you see 'good guy' posts in bad guy threads and vice versa.

I hope that made sense?

It doesn't have to say bad guy in the title of the thread. The proof is within the thread.

Case in point... I started an info thread... didn't want to but it needed to be done. Everyone inside the thread labeled him as a bad guy. I was just trying to get the info out there so he wouldnt take someone else for the ride he took me on.

Or we could look at your info thread.... Ummmm weren't you labeled a bad guy in that thread by some members because of your business practices.

And then we have your alternate personality Jerry to look at as well. I'd say there was enough evidence in that thread to tie you both together as the same person.

And I suppose stealing others pics and using them as your own in YOUR ads makes you a good guy

The 'bad guy' 'good guy' and 'inquiry' labels are just in the subject header of the thread

So whats the reason to even have them if there just subject headers and it really doesnt play a role in what the thread is about?

It may turn out that the original label may not be correct (seen plenty of threads that were 'bad guy seller' that turned out to be because of an unreasonable buyer, etc).

Seems there is alot of confusion and the person in question gets the wrong label alot? Another reason not to have them IMO.

Also, per the rules, we are encouraged to post additional dealings within whatever BOI thread already exists for 'said person' instead of starting a new thread everytime,

Even more reason to just have one thread with a persons name in it rather than having separate "subject headers" for a good guy, bad guy, inquiry, etc.... seeing as every one of them is the same as "we are encouraged to post additional dealing within whatever boi thread already exists?"

Im not trying to come off as a Im just trying to get my point across, please dont take this the wrong way.
Thank You

Kevin you seem to always come on any thread I write on and try to say the same that you have been saying in the boi for a week now. I think that is what the boi section is for not the FaunaClassifieds Feedback Forum... But hey what do I know right? Im sure you will rally the BOI troops to this post now and make it a long, drawn out, 500+ post thread also?

Cant even ask a question without you jumping on me geeze its like your my fauna stalker......

 

[WebSlave]

So I'm reading this thread, and I see between the lines that members here are saying "Please give me infractions!". I didn't realize people liked getting them so much....

The problem, as I see it, is making these changes that you suggest would only help the scammers. By having all information both good and bad in a thread, buyers are able to make more "informed" choices/decisions.

If they make stupid decisions with all the wealth of information in front of them, I am not so inclined to help them when they finally do get scammed.

So if you "didn't really expect an answer" then why the hell did you ask it and what was your true motive for doing so?

You make a valid point and it was pretty much exactly what I am saying.... You say "By having all information both good and bad in a thread, buyers are able to make more "informed" choices/decisions." And what I am saying is why have separate threads, why not put them all in one and not have a label on them, just the person in questions name? In simple have all the info both bad and good in one thread.

Is that not the same thing?

When I say "I didnt expect an answer" I was saying it as I am not getting my hopes up, I would like an answer but I dont expect anyone to really give me one.
Thanks

Normally that's what is supposed to be done.

Unfortunately, many of us lack the capacity to read and/or follow directions. Thus if there is a "BG" thread some will follow the instructions and post their interactions in tht thread..but another person may not have read the rules/suggestions and will post another type of thread (GG) and because this person either neglected to read the rules or is delibrately being obtuse the whole process starts over again.

So, it's not the site..it's the people (lord love 'em!)

HOWEVER, once a thread is started in the BOI for legal reasons and except for same, it is rarely moved, deleted or modified in anyway so it all stays there as a testimony to our inablity to FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS or perhaps our inability to research the rules before posting! (yes, I am also guilty).

end rant.

PS. You could have simply had ONE BG post with everything in it...even your GG posts would have to be in there. Aren't you glad they didn't get buried that way?

I suggest you say what you actually mean..it saves time backpeddling later.
