If you write anything concerning a person or company your full name needs to be in your post or obtainable from it.

This rule isn’t well thought out. One day someone is going to get hurt…. Proper moderation doesn’t require names.

In America there is also the belief that everyone has a right to know who says things about them. This rule is actually very well thought out and as such it's fine.

The best message boards are the ones where the posters are known.

I have been on message boards since the advent of message boards….. this is the first time my name has been out in the open across many hobbies.

Proper moderation is key here. If post #1 from a new member attacks a dealer it’s suspect…. A 20 year member with 1000 posts giving a heads up about possible thievery is most likely not.

I think we need consistent rules regardless of how many posts you have.

One of the problems with the internet is people hiding behind anonymity to make comments that they wouldn't make if their names were attached to them.

I am a bit confused as to how you think people listing their names will lead to "someone getting hurt".

If someone is afraid of getting hurt, they can refrain from making the comment that they think could get them hurt.

Just to the bold. Threatening emails/PMs, letter from lawyer, getting lies posted about you, openly called names, people buying all you items on eBay and them returning them all at one time just before time runs out on returning the first item. There are many more. Quess how I know these.

I am still all for having to post your name.

Day late and a dollar short for me on this one - I just bought a bunch of 1943 and 44 Cubs pictures. Fortunately didn't pay much and fortunately maybe they are good.

Many obviously know this already, but one preventative can be done right on your computer. Might as well go into detail in case it's helpful for some.

If there's a listing you're interested in, save the images to your computer, then open those images using software that allows you to tweak the images. For Windows 10 users, there's a built-in program called "Photos". Right click on the thumbnail of the scan you have saved. From the menu that appears, select "Open With", then select "Photos" from the subsequent menu that pops up.

"Photos" is easy enough to use. Once the photo opens, there will be a menu at the top center of your screen. The first option looks like a drawing of a little photo with a pencil in lower right corner (AKA "Edit"). Click on that. A new menu will appear at top center of screen. Click on "Adjustment". A bunch of different filter options will appear to the right of the photo. Play around with those slider bars that come up. If any creases/blemishes have been purposely hidden by clever scanning tricks, they will usually appear when you're toying around with this software.

Lots of other software out there, but for Windows users, this one should be built right in, is user friendly and works nicely.

I picked up a couple 1932 ones to finish out my set. I got a near complete set from a trusted source and was rather uniform in size, so it will be easy to size compare for possible trimming.

It's a simple rule. I don't see how allowing anonymous accusations would be helpful.

I'm not a fan of the name transparency thing, but there's plenty of interaction to be found on this board without getting into critical discussions about specific people, companies, etc.

The people I've purchased from here know my name and I've met some people in real life, but I've spent 30+ years being mostly-anonymous on the internet and I'd like to keep that streak alive.

It means I don't have full access to run my mouth on every thread, but I can live with that.

I’d rather not have 1 or 2 specific individuals here get my personal information for exactly this reason. All it takes is one angry nutter off his meds one day one time for something to happen. The odds are not high though.

LOL, you have obviously not run across bat $hit carzy Matthew yet. He has had several different accounts on here and probably has a few going now.

I had one Matthew go ballistic when I didn't juice the pump he wanted to juice but I suspect this is a different Matthew. Have we had a true stalker or assault case? The odds aren't high but it all it takes is one. I used to shut up to remain compliant until something got the rule on my account, so it's the boards fault I run my mouth now

So, a member got angry because you "didn't juice the pump he wanted to juice." Wow, that sounds intense.

Pardon me for asking, but what does that mean?

Hardly intense at all. As I said, I was not aware of any real stalking/assault intensity that had ever actually happened.

Which word is difficult?

Individually, none of them are difficult. The phrase I surrounded with quotation marks is one I hadn't previously heard.
