Shoot! eBays got a new darn policy

If you've ever posted on eBay's chat boards about your sales on Big River or Ratbaz, used the Powerseller Board's favourite 'donkey' or even told someone to piff oss, you may not be able to do so much longer. The Americans are cracking down on such naughtiness: eBay.com have just announced a new euphemisms policy for their community boards to prohibit such circumlocutions: 'if something cant be said openly with the policy guidelines, using a euphemism does not make it acceptable.' Using 'alternative ways to be disrespectful' now means you're risking your posting privileges or even your eBay account.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
"The thought police would get him just the same. He had committed would have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you."

 I havent posted in a LONG time but want to say this is obviously a way for the net police (clink and slandy) to get rid of users who speak the truth. They are losing so this gives them an added advantage, which they apparently need. I can't post there anymore but I still watch the PP boards closely.

Anyone know if Clinks greasy old mama ever kicked the bucket?

I have a sneaky hunch that a great deal of sleazebay's current problems are related to censorship & denial of freedom of speech & fair play on their rigged & shill filled little forums.

I wonder what it would be worth to them to make some of their troubles disappear? It's been a while now since any offers were made.

What I really got the biggest kick out of was when they tried to pull all the posts about the T&S board hack job loooong before they ever shut down the board.

More irony!!! eBay's so called Trust and Safety "Educational Forums" came about through some sort of settlement agreement with the FTC when Clinton was in office.

But....what did eBay do to actually "educate" people about fraud on their site, etc?

They instead "leaked out" info and arranged for "hits" on the various outspoken critics and "sellers" who were doing business on their site, and who were first solicited by eBay to do business on their site, at the various Trade Shows around the country. (eBay put together "seminars" and solicited for new "Brick & Mortar" businesses to go online. We were approached by eBay's staff, for example.).

Later eBay's Netcops would engage in business interference, and Trade Libel on eBay's site (and off) while eBay took the money and looked the other way.

Then we come to the "stolen" and counterfeit merchandise marketed on eBay.

Then we come to the Tiffany lawsuit that someone at eBay decided to "leak" misinformation to the renegade "netcop" posters about on their so-called T&S forum, that the TIFFANY CASE had been "Settled out of Court" when in fact, it had NOT been settled out of court, at all. (Wishful thinking, I guess.) **roll eyes**

And ...on and on and on....

AND.... NOW.....TO TOP IT ALL OFF.... Ebay might lose the Tiffany case and more suits will follow if they do, haha, ebay!

p.s. On a side note. Bud, did you know that "bot" herd Masters posted to the eBay boards at one time? No, I kid you NOT!!! They also have "secretaries" who make "phone calls" during the day from the various "states" that they represent. It's madness, indeed. I wonder if the "FEDS" are watching them yet? lol
