BST etiquette am I wrong

I may be wrong, but I don't see how you can find my personal information thru Net54 with one click.

And I'm not paranoid about being breached - I just don't think that buying/selling on the BST should require me to share with everyone my address, paypal, etc. which your plan requires unless I'm mistaken.

If you write anything concerning a person or company your full name needs to be in your post or obtainable from it. I just did a quick search on your posts, and you should have been made to post your full name "New COMC Issues?" was one that you needed to have your full name to post in.

Yes. I know that. And I've never written anything concerning a person or company and don't plan on doing so either. And not because I'd be freaked out about people knowing my last name - I just don't have anything to say concerning people or companies.

This conversation probably isn't worth the bother but it's a nice break from number crunching for fantasy baseball prep.

"New COMC Issues?" Was the first I found from your posts, and I stopped. You also posted about a person passing, but didn't care to see who. I can go back farther if you would like? Not trying to bust your balls, but yes you have posted in both. You got passed Leon. Consider yourself lucky.

John1941 net54 try a Google search. Everything you posted in will show up.

I screen shot a few things for you.

If you read the FAQ carefully, you'll see that Leon says you can't remain anonymous if you want to criticize or accuse a person or company. You can discuss a person or company anonymously as long as you're not ghost-attacking them. My post in "New COMC issues" was about how I liked buying from COMC despite their shipping issues - praise, not criticism. And as far as I know, I've never criticized or accused anyone... though who knows, maybe if you look carefully enough through all my posts, you'll find something.

Is the letter "I" even the real first letter of your last name?

This bolded in the header at the top of the page, and it say quote:

Which is just a quick and dirty formulation of what the FAQ states comprehensively. A summary of something doesn't supersede the full/rigorous formulation. The FAQ makes clear that it's only anonymous negative statements about a person or company that are verboten.

Here:
"Anonymous, where this board is concerned, implies that you are not known to the moderator or anyone else. That is not permitted on Net54baseball. However, you may remain private on the board; otherwise, as long your post is not argumentative, controversial, confrontational, accusatorial etc.…For example you can discuss attributes of cards, sets or memorabilia and stay private. You can not say someone is an imbecile, hard to deal with, gave poor service etc…and remain private on the board. In addition to that if your opinion is that you dislike someone, hate them, can’t stand or don’t like anything about them, and you want to tell the world about it on Net54baseball, then your full name will need to be in your post."

Well, Leon may say differently. Ask me how I know.

The original rules have not been updated since almost the beginning of this iteration of the forum. They will be. "Any" comment, is the correct verbiage and the rules wording will be amended asap.
Approximately 3-4 yrs ago, a major auction house (and advertiser) employee was shilling his own companies auctions, anonymously.That is when the rule changed and he and I had a chat about it.

Edit....The FAQs on the forum have now been updated and shortened a little bit.

...

Anonymous, where this board is concerned, implies that you are not known to the moderator or anyone else. That is not permitted on Net54baseball.

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

Members can discuss attributes of cards, sets or memorabilia and stay private.The moderator may put the members name on the forum or delete their posts, at their sole discretion, when this rule is not adhered to. Tense debates will require first and last names to be known, and made public. Names can be scrambled to be unsearchable, but they must be decipherable. Contact information will be given out for legal reasons or under extraordinary circumstances at the discretion of the moderator.. There are no age requirements on the forum however, you must be 18 years of age to participate in the Buy, Sell, Trade areas, or have a parent or legal guardian contact the moderator for approval first. Registered members may also receive periodic, infrequent, industry related emails. Members may opt out of these by clicking the unsubscribe button.[/B]

You don't need to do a Google search to find all the posts someone made on net54. Just click on their username to go to their Profile page, click on the Statistics tab and you'll see a link for Find all posts by xxxx

Actually, it's even easier than that. Just click on their username and a window pops up that gives you the option to Find all posts by xxxx

Um, but you're not showing me how anyone can find my info, you're just showing how people can find my posts on Net54. Anyone is welcome to read my posts from here

I find it creepy for you to substantially rewrite your posts in edit after a good chunk of time has passed. When you originally posted this there was nothing about my post in "New COMC issues." (What I quoted in post #170 is your original post in its entirety.)

Chad, if it's so easy to know everything about me, what is my last name exactly?

And if you can't tell me my name in three days you'll have to give me your first-born child. Rumplestiltskin rules.

Do you understand when you post your full name, it will take me 20 minutes. See most of us have to. You by board rules should as well. You're lucky so far flying under the radar not that I care. I'm pointing that out to you.

If you think someone is not following the rules of the board, report it to Leon. It's not your job to tell someone directly because it's not your opinion that matters.

Leon will do it on his own. Do you see my full name? Guess who and why! I don't care. I was pointing it out because John said he didn't have his full name. He has done nothing more then I did to have to have my full name required. That's all. That was brought up to point out it's required once you do what the bold states for board policy. That lead to if your full name and place of residence its not hard to pull off how to get to the goods.
