Hello Everyone,

I deleted a post this morning as it was in violation of the following forum rule:

No Personal Attacks. Do not harass, belittle, threaten or “flame” another member. Do not call other members names, even in jest. You may dispute opinions and facts, but do so with facts and not by taking it to a personal level. This forum is intended to operate in a positive environment. Please help us achieve that goal.

It is getting a bit old that we have to continuously edit posts that try to take things to a personal level but we will continue to do so when it violates the intent of the forum, which is "to bring game used collectors together and help hobbyists educate each other" in a positive environment.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Perhaps you could guide us on how we can ACCURATELY discuss Mr. Lampson here within your rules, Chris? Not all visitors to this forum know what most of us know on this topic. How do you suggest we caution them?

Personally, I can't think of a more deserving sticky.

I think the rule itself is actually a great guide. It states:

1) You may dispute opinions and facts, but do so with facts; and
2) Do not take things to a personal level.

I would suggest approaching it in that manner. Not only will it promote a more positive environment, it will also likely be more effective as it will be based on credible information.

They haven't been cautioned enough? Here's an idea for you, start a seperate heading for Lampson. This way members who really don't care about reading the same old dead horse stories can easily navigate around them and highlight the more intelligent, useful posts. If this idea bothers you, allow me to quote Mr. Cavalier's earlier post. Pay particular attention to the first 6 words.

Thanks for trying, Mr. Cavalier. Obviously you're trying to get this site back to being useful, informative and most importantly, fun. Good Luck.

The name "Lampson" is in the thread title. I would suggest that you ignore any title with his name in it. That way you can bypass the dead horse stories and still have fun.

I tried that, but it always seems to find its way into even the informative posts. You ever notice that? Sorry if it offends others that I dared to describe this site as fun.

How about a 14-day moratorium on any mention of L.L. in any post and whoever breaks the peace will have to send all of their game used items to the man himself for authentication.

THIS is what makes the site Fun....

I personally have no problem with it and find a lot of it amusing.

I have one question. Is he the only authenticator for hire that is known to the public by name? I can't recall any others names coming up in forum discussions.
