I will admit on the surface it sounds like a great idea. All of the scumbags in one nice neat list. I was almost 100% decided in my mind, as to the answer, when I saw this thread. Just needed to wait for a few more clearly thought out points of view. There is 0% chance of this type of list on this board. This and the previous post are the reasons.

I have rarely disagreed with you Leon on this board but I think a running list of fraudulent sellers to avoid would be good for the hobby and for the board. I would suggest a running list of clear cases of fraud with posts that are pre-approved by you before posting. I understand though if you don't want your name associated with that and respect your decision either way.

I agree. Failure to pay, and improper communication should be eliminated. There have been so many prolific fraudsters, it's hard to remember all those names. A list of these people is what I want to post. No one should be buying from these people, ever again.

Yes, I believe I could (not sure by any means) have some legal liability by allowing it, if I ~~allow~~ approve something in a moderated form. There is a very strong Federal Statute 230 that protects forum owners by defining what a "publisher" of information is but if I have absolute approval?? I could see an issue. We discuss every fraud known to collectors, which is great, but having a section......not in favor of it now but will keep listening. The shi* to equity ratio isn't good imo.

Fair enough. I'm sure these discussions have helped quite a few collectors and board members avoid some known fraudulent sellers and what to look for to avoid others.

I agree. Leon is in a tight situation with this idea and I don't blame him for not wanting to take the chance.

I think what I will do, is copy/print out known names that are discussed/shown here and make my own list to refer too.

About the only thing, being as there are so many of them, one can do to keep track of them all.

If you have a question about a seller or buyer, ask the forum and ask to be pm'ed if people have issues. No public slander issue here
I get worried about slander litigation if a name is mistakenly drug down here. Probably wouldn't happen but could get ugly
