Im interested to know as to why the entire thread on a fairly obvious scam had been deleted, the reason given 'not to use the forum to solve personal conflict' is in my opinion completely flawed as there are countless threads with all sorts of voiced conflict.

If anything it was a voiced warning to not do business with a business that had so obviously cheated their customer and could arguably repeat the dilemma with another person. So I'm keen to hear why it was really removed. Did the web master receive a formal complaint or report?

I am in favour of a thread that allows existing community members to voice their issues with fraudulent members in an effort to make this club a safer place.

Amen to that!

Not to mention as far as I know hen the question was asked why the thread was deleted the question thread was also deleted.... Why why why?

Or maybe a rating systems so we can see who is 'good'. I am still having to explain to some people whether it is safe to post from PNG.....

Did that Dr Datto post get deleted...
Me thinks something fishy is going on.

On my time on here, I've seen a few people get ripped off.
A Thread with a rating system:

(Problem was solved) 0.1.2.3.4.5 (ongoing issue, unresolved)

Also a link to the user profile for added comfort if someone needs to crosscheck a dodgy sounding deal.

I voiced my concerns to the moderators over the thread, so yes at least someone did.

Factual reasons why I did:

It was going around in circles
The accused updated their signature to state that information posted publicly over a forum may have legal repercussions for the poster, ISP that permitted it and the host- highly unlikely but I pmd that I thought the nature and info posted may have legitious ramifications for the Branco bros so better to remove it.

I don't want to loose the forum, it's my home away from home.

Something should definitely happen here! Whatever is to happen should be for the greater good of both the members and this club. It's a shame people get ripped off for whatever reason, but perhaps a system of some sort is well needed...

Those with the highest post counts obviously are. The most trusted. Now pm me your credit card details expiry and digits and like Scientology I can tell you more

Yes i agree we need a trusted members thread. Watch unfamilia he is slipperier than a jar of eels.

Only if the jar and eels involve lube.

I think trusted members area needs to be like a poll or bite so there is a tally or score at the start of the thread. I see Ebay for datsuns coming

pfffft thats #OOPS#in crap, how can the people who ripped of old bud take legal action for him putting up a beware thread. so if we get ripped by another member we just gotta stay hush hush cos your thread will get deleted or you'll be sued?? thats bullcrap
