This community is as hard as nails, and a large group of us treat each other like family.

If you register here because you are in financial trouble, on drugs or whatever and plan on scamming one of us out of money - think before you do it.

We WILL sniff you out and do what we can to ruin you before one of our own is lured into your scam.

THE SCAMMING ENDS HERE.

As a community, we can deal with assholes ragging on other members and being annoying, its the nature of the beast. STEALING is not.

I don't care if you have hundreds of deals here - if you are at fault and don't make good on your fuck up - you are tarnished.

This isn't fucking ebay.

Its Neo-Geo.com - a community of friends, enemies and drama.

Would any of you let one of your friends steal from your family members?

If I didn't send someone what they paid for and kept on making deals while ignoring my initial client - I am FUCKING UP. There is no "He must have a reason for it" or "He will make good on it" - Its a FUCK UP and should be dealt with accordingly.

I STRIVE to make my dealings the best they can be.

I make sure I have the time to ship an item out that day or the following if the individual on the buying end had the time to send me the money that day.

I will not PUNISH a buyer for making a complaint about me.

If I send an item out and its slow to arrive, hey, that may very well be the fault of the shipping company - but if I make a habit out of slow shipping, its a FUCK UP and will be noted by the community.

If I send you something and its missing a part and you complain about it publicly - its MY FAULT for not including it and I will send it to you at no charge.

If I continue to ship things with missing parts - guess what? ITS A FUCK UP.

The feedback system is great.

But 1 negative here is like being suspended from ebay.

There are no second chances.

You fuck up here, I will make sure you don't sell another fucking item.

You guys mean too much to me to let someone scam you or treat you like a piece of shit even though you are the victim.

Things are going to change around here.

MODS - if we sniff out a scammer, you MUST do what you can to get that person the fuck out of here so nobody does business with them.

Its our job as a community to make sure NOBODY buys from these degenerates.

Don't turn the other way - speak the fuck up for your fellow brother or sister.

Its not "just the internet" on these boards.

Also, on the subject of questionable dealings - when someone buys something from wherever and brings it here to make money off of it - its entirely up to you if you want to purchase that item.

I don't like it any more than the next guy, but if the items are shipped and received on time, then whatever.

We can't tell you what to spend your money on - but if you want to be a dumbass and pay more than its worth, thats fine - you might get a PM or response telling you that you are a moron.

I don't like members who come here to profit off of other members - thats cold.

But I can't stop this from happening.

Also -

I've fucking had it with noobs coming here and losing money by commiting to a deal with a respected member and then everyone backs up the respected member.

Grow some fucking balls and tell that person he's a fucking asshole.

Every member has the right to voice their opinion.

If you are having a bad deal - don't sit there and say "I'd rather not mention his/her name right now" - you have to let us fucking know! This could be someone making multiple deals and cashing out, never to bee seen again.

Come together people.

- Michael

Ditto.

Also, if someone is to be considered for being a mod then they should have some sort of regular presence on the forum.

There are several mods who haven't been seen for aeons and as such bring nothing to help and maintain some site cohesion and safety to it's members.

Bobak is still a regular as is Tak but apart from those we don't hardly ever see anyone else(Shawn doesn't count as he is above such trivialities, what with him being a Mage an all)

Isn't it about time that the deadwood be hewn down and some more seedlings planted in the neo-geo forest.

Take mod powers away from those who never call in and give it to those who do and who have a level grip on things and don't just go on banning/ghosting sprees just because they can.

Why they haven't been given mod status by now is beyond me...

And when I say "they", I'm counting qube in there as well.

Phillip (bulletnyourass) is a HUGE help in all of this as well.

Sorry, forgot to mention. You are 100% correct, Phillip has been a huge help in keeping the markets clean of scammers and I hope you guys are made Mods, it would be a huge help.

It also irked me that people were backing up Bill because he was established, and thats the cool thing to do on here.. Sort of like sucking up to mods.. Anyway, I love reading people just tearing shitheads like Bill apart on here. I will do everything in my power to make these scammer's lives as hard as I can, along with tons of othere on here.

Please treat everyone equally, established members who scam shouldn't get a pass all because they have a high post count. They are still scamming pieces of trash.

Exactly. If I scammed someone tomorrow, I would expect the same treatment as any other scammer here, regardless of my tenure.
