Re: Suggestion for GUU
OK guys... you put up 2 suggestions, so I will do my best to address them.
1. Ability to edit posts
To be honest, I do not know the complete pros and cons with this one. I do know that there was a reason why we were never allowed this before. So what I can do is take this one to the Admins and find out the reasons why this was never allowed, and if there truly is a risk behind post editing, I will stand by their original decision not to allow it. If there is no risk, I will ask that we discuss it within the committee and provide a group response.
2. Banned list
My feelings are that there is no place for such a list here. It seems that it would promote negativity and become the "train wreck" that everyone goes to on order to find out who got banned, why, etc. I don't generally like the gossip. I think we should be a bit more mature.
BUT I am only 1 in a group of 7 (5 moderators and 2 admins). I have no problem discussing this in a committee. So, if you want democracy, you got it. I can only promise you that the idea (or any idea for that matter) gets consideration & is discussed fairly.Looking for ...

Re: Suggestion for GUU
I am involved in other Blog/Forum's where the Admin will make certain edits for you. I think some level of editing is good and helpful.
I think most agree an OT section would be great as it would clean up the Game Used Discussion area and get it back to what it was meant to be.

"I do know that there was a reason why we were never allowed this before."
Maybe this was before your time, but when the original GUF was started by Eric, the ability to edit one's own post was available to all members and used by many.
It was halted and not incorporated in the new GUU when the original forum was sold. Many members from the old forum complained to the new owners, but like many suggestions, this too fell on deaf ears.

Re: Suggestion for GUU
I couldn't agree more. On this forum, I have had the experience of people creating second and third accounts to bait and attack me. While these members may get banned, without knowing who they are and their connection to past members, I simply don't feel safe. This site is becoming more adversarial by the day; why not put our minds at ease with transparency about banned members?

Re: Suggestion for GUU
How about a ban list in a locked thread or a section of the site where only admins and mod can post?

Re: Suggestion for GUU
Right. This is how it has worked successfully on the other collecting fora I referenced. Certainly not a good idea to make this an open thread. Again, I don't see a reason to not have it. Regardless of the ultimate decision, though, to see the strong negative reactions to this idea from some junior/newer members did raise my eyebrows a bit.

Re: Suggestion for GUU
Sportscentury....The last part of your post makes absolutely no sense whatsoever...It's a matter of personal opinion whether or not I think it's a good idea. If someone is already banned, who cares what the reason is. They did something against forum rules and that's it. There no longer going to be a part of the forum so what good comes out of it talking about them. Just because this is my opinion and I'm a newer member makes me a crook if your eyes? Sorry but I don't see the correlation. I've had a number of flawless transactions with senior members on here. Maybe you should think before you make negative accusations that you have no right making.
