Would it be reasonable to allow someone to come answer to what they did?
Like lets say someone got banned or punished and things were said about them would it be fair to open a thread that allows that person to answer publicly and privately to all the accusations that were made against them before permanent ban? Or to just help people have confidence in their services.
I hope I am not overstepping.
It just seems simply has been doing great work, prop and customer service wise and maybe what wrongs or accusations made against him or other past members could be publicly and privately resolved. Proof could be given, testimates?
I feel very safe with each and every member here and I know the mods will keep that up no matter what.
This is the most respectful gracious forum I have ever visited and I thank you all.
I am obviously new and don't know the full story of each member and incident, I also do know that sometimes there are mix ups.
I Really hope no one takes it as a disrespect if I buy something from someone that has accusations against them.
As Starkiller and Luminara said, this has been an issue that has gone on for several years. If one has made it to the exceptionally short "Conflicts of Interest thread" list, they had to do
a lot to earn THAT distinction, and earn a banning from here AND the RPF. Also he has had to change names SEVERAL times on eBay, if he is even still allowed to sell there (I don't know one way or the other).
This wouldn't be the first time an issue like this has happened, others had issues as well, but some had managed to eventually "redeem" themselves (mainly by making restitution to all those they had wronged).
As Starkiller also said, if people with those "ethics" are people you wish to support, there is nothing the rest of us can do, other than to make note of it. Caveat Emptor!
This is a community, we do tend to support each other and look out for each other (within reason). In the instance I am thinking of, it's that kind of "looking out for each other", by Starkiller and Luminara and others like them, that helped many people receive money back that they had thought would be lost forever.
I'll paraphrase (PG-13) something Master Yoda said to me (and a few others) not too long ago...
I don't want to see people get taken advantage of here on FX., and many of us feel the same way.
Something for all to think about...
