I'll second the motion. Though I've had great dealings with almost everyone I've dealt with here on the BST, it's always good to know who to avoid. |

I don't see it happening guys. As much as I have no issue with outing bad situations I am not going to deal with something like that. I can't even imagine the repercussions. I am open to listening to discussion but I can't imagine letting that kind of forum happen. Just too many issues surrounding it.......regards |

I think a separate forum for such would be unfortunate, at this point in time. |

It's not a bad idea, but I'd hate to see things get so bad that it would be necessary. |

Probably an unnecessary can of worms. I had a BST experience where someone sold some me serverely trimmed items but described them as slightly trimmed. Just a difference of opinion I suppose. Not necessarily a con artist. The point is that some folks might be undeservedly pubicly flogged if such a thread was established. |

I posted about on such an auction recently. Seller e-mailed me a rude message as he didn't want the facts I knew out to vintage collectors. Still glad I did so as dishonest is dishonest. Didn't respond to the e-mail as I didn't feel that responding or giving this person the time of day was appropriate. Scammers are scammers. However, I do not think a separate forum would be worth while. |

Good call Leon. A separate area will just encourage people to make accusations that may become increasingly baseless, like it was getting a few months ago (and has thankfully largely abated). With only a few exceptionss, people are now pretty careful to only post these concerns on the main board in very egregious or certain instances. |

Perhaps someone could moderate a completely new forum based on this subject. Leon could provide a link to the new forum with a disclaimer (if necessary). |

I was thinking more along the lines of the section being informative, educational and helpful to all. |

Matt, those are some pretty good ideas, would you be willing to moderate this forum? I bet it would be a bull board VBC members will visit. The only thing would be to keep people from posting link after link of the threads in this forum to the main VBC forum. |

If you do start one of these boards, you better enlist a couple lawyers to help moderate it. |
