Post are being pulled on the paypal board. So of them have been suspended so if you wonder why some of our friends are not posting more than likely their suspended from posting. That will not happen on this board and we may see some pro paypal posting so be it. Just a heads up all. They don't want the truth known so they must be feeling it someplace.
Yes they are doing that...some, most likely cliniclady and bella are reporting up a storm today and the way it works is if they get enough "pink slaps" against you then the sanctions from posting start. If you wait that out and then get to post again and they start on you again and you get more slaps then you get sanctioned again for longer..if it happens again its indefinite which has happened today and then if you get back on and they rack them up on you again its permanent
That is the only way they can control the board and what is said over there. If you challenge them too much they want you gone and the scary thing is they seem to have the power to do it.
Skeeter (aka many other IDs) is the most rude posting violator and I have never seen him sanctioned.
Its obvious what is going on so for those who are still posting be careful and know that if you see some of your buddies not posting its because they have been silenced
I'm not so sure about that. I personally report the majority of skeeters posts because they are all clear violations and not one thing ever happens to him..same with cliniclady. But it wouldnt hurt to keep reporting them - at least we will all know the true story of what happens when you do which seems to be nothing
As a former moderator I can tell you that not all moderators have the ability to ban posters but many do, even those that don't may have the ability to make the posts invisible to anyone but website and board staff. Depends upon their level and how much control they have been allowed to have.
Skeeter and Clinic will never be gone unless they come back under other names like some others have already. Report away but they won't be given a vacation anyway IMHO.
The anti's are winning I am happy to report. More sellers are closing their accounts everyday from what they tell me, not only because of what the anti's post but by what the pro's are posting as well. Every time they delete a post someone notices, every time they refuse to say yes well if you are going to use PP you will not be covered no matter what for this, this and this someone notices.
When I first came to the boards all they were doing was telling everyone It is your fault you are dumb and stupid. Thanks to the anti's telling posters they are not and that these things happen to many, some of that has stopped.
It also helps to get the word out to the buyers that Paypal isn't actually free to them as they have been lead to believe it is. The sellers pass the cost on to them anyway. I know some buyers just hate it when those buying with MO are given a discount that they can't have as they want to pay through PP.
Keep up the good work over there but yes do watch yourself a bit as you can't help others if you are not able to post.
Yes I can verify that..however as I stated I am sanctioned right now and if you saw the posts you would laugh. Like I said some moderators have the ability to ban anyone and are not held acountable for it. There is no way for the member to contact anyone to get resolution about it because you are directed back to where you started and were ignored.
I know that with all the posts disappearing especially recently and users being sanctioned from posting that obviously its getting to them and this is their only recourse. Its a shame that they have to resort to getting rid of the people who prove them wrong. It tells how secure they are in what they are spewing thats for sure
WE all know that when certain regular posters seem to stop posting all of a sudden new ones show up with the same spiel. That they think people are that stupid is beyond me
One thing i learned is that they have the ability to see who you are and where you are posting from so alternate IDs dont always help...
So...remember just because you dont see certain "anti" (and ya know I dont call myself anti, I call myself honest and realistic) posters posting doesnt mean they gave up..it means they were ganged up on and sanctioned
I was looking for one where Clinic lied and was proven wrong and a newbie asked why anyone would do such a thing to ones just learning and it is gone. lol
Bet that newbie will be telling everyone about the awful clinic and that their post disappeared too.
yup the anti's are winning and soon will bring paypal down.
then onto the master plan -- ebay -- man i want ebay to shut down sooooooooo bad. we gotta work on that also. cuz ebay and paypal are one in the same. they are the same monster stealing from us all.
Speaking the truth and talking about texas_skeeter to everyone that is not pro-paypal report texas_skeeter everytime he calls someone a whiner because that is an insult and obviously he ccan dish it out but not take it so REPORT HIM
Anyways good to see the good fight is still going on.
I will be posting some auctions under this name soon and wait till you all see what i got going on should be funny.I hope you all enjoy look for it next monday.
I have that entire thread, it was "Accidentally paid twice what do I do", or something like that. Clinic told the OP to file a fraudulent claim for INR and lie about it when the op had asked about how to handle the double payment she had made. She is the best help we have on that board. I have documented a lot of items like that. My scrapbook run-ith over, so to speak.
I think the best tack to take with the pros is not answer them or get drawn into a word war with them. All you do is give them more ammo to slap you with and get you banned. Also, that is how they run up the thread with BS so that people that start to read it get turned off and stop reading. They bury the good info. Have you noticed how they come a running to a important thread and start their BS. They want to cover up the real issue. Don’t let them; keep bringing the original point up. Point out the fact that they are the ones that should be slapped for disrupting the thread.
Go after the new posters that come to the board and help them out. Be understanding to their needs; educate them about the dangers of having a ebay account. Let the pros be rude , and carefully point this out to the posters, this will neutralize them, and help our cause.
Just ignore the pros, they will slink off into some dark corner. This does work and they hate it. We know who they are, and if you spot a new one give everyone a heads up with a post something like, “Oh, look, reinforcements have arrives.” Help each other out by posting your slap slips here (cleaned up if you wish) or someplace so that others can learn how to stay out of trouble. Work together by passing on info and important facts you have discovered. Work together like they do, support each other, feed each other ideas . We have been winning the race individually; think what we could do as a pack like they are.
Should start a thread with the ids of all the know pros and who is who. Like Sandy\Laurie\Couldofbeenworse.
Also start a scrapbook, just cut and paste what you see and save them as a word doc, or whatever you use. There own words are the best tools against them. The software mentioned above does work well and it is free. To bad the site uses paypal for donations, they should also post a address for mail in money orders or checks.
Sorry for the long post, it just kind of took on a life of it’s own. You can email me any time. me@a1-knives.com
We as board users are not allowed to know who we are dealing with and if we question it we are censored. How long will this thread last?
Got my answer. Annie got one pulled last night about Liveworld and that is the thread I was referring to. Did you by any chance copy that thread Knives?
Now mimi is hounding me about the fact I insinuated she is a pro. Wants proof blah blah blah. Shes trying to start a fight and get me banned. A typical Liveworld tactic.
I'm sure you all know mimi is just another ID for a regular user...probably janeway or sandy..I dont think school is out yet for cliniclady but watch out when it is as she will be on full time!
Lets start a shun list of poster we will shun and not talk to. I mean, what is the point? What sit there and fight with them, what do you prove. If you have proof and can discredit them, do it and get it over. But the useless bickering that goes on is a waste of time. You could be out there converting someone. I think that is more rewarding.
