Jono Bolton Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I don't know if I'm missing something here, but I don't see why Geester posted that thread about the scam! As far as I can see, it's not covering his tracks, he's basically posted a thread trying to pass it off as a scam, but he's basically posted a play-by-play of what he's done himself!

markstuk Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 And the original ad said he had used both of them at a practice... which makes things weirder...

krispn Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Lads There is, by all accounts, a serious thing going on here and its getting swamped with nonsense. It might seem more fair to the two parties involved if we keep the thread focused and not hijack it with random vid's etc. Im all for levity but also brevity.

mcnach Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 [quote name='Toasted' post='1197914' date='Apr 13 2011, 11:04 AM']I really think basschat needs a rule like talkbass that we don't disucss deals gone bad (personal or commercial).[/quote] I disagree, although it is a tricky matter, I admit it. Commercial deals gone bad can be very useful to find about shops one may want to avoid. It's true that we'll mostly only hear the bad cases, but a minimum common sense can give us an idea about the chances we have, and we know about the likely response if things go wrong. As long as it doesn't turn into a slagging competition, bad deals are good information. A forum like this can be a great resource. Abuses are relatively easily detected by the community, and if necessary mods can intervene. Personal deals can be trickier, however. No, I don't want a collection of threads where some BCers slag off other BCers for minor disagreements. There are already feedback threads: use them. No need to start a new thread in a general forum to name and shame someone else who may or not be around in time to give his version of the events. But sometimes, after trying to solve a dispute directly ebwteen two BCers and not arriving to a happy solution... an exception can be made where one BCer may want to bring this problem out in the open. It's tricky. It should be kept respectful and as much as possible via PM (someone private deals are not a good subject for public discussion or entertainment, in my opinion)... but as a last resort, I think it does have its place. Again, abuse is relatively easily detected and a mod could intervene to remove the thread if inappropriate. It is tricky, I admit it. But it can be something that would benefit the forum if we adhere to some basic norms of conduct and common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
