Hold up! On 2nd thought, no pics needed. Trusting your judgement instead ...

 

Is there a rehab facility to help ex OF's to adjust back into the normal community?

 

I made as search for Dablitzer in Seller Profiles & Reviews, no hits. As I recall, there were plenty of positive feedbacks for him there before. Were they removed?

 

Hmm, interesting. I'd been speaking to him over the last week or so about potentially buying a straight lug from him.

He seemed like a perfect gent to me, so on the surface this appears harsh. However, I'm sure this decision wasn;t taken lightly and I appreciate that the details should be kept private.

 

It's somewhat of a badge of honor on OF to be banned from WUS. Will it now be a badge of honor on WUS to be banned from OF?

I don't really need to know, just wondering out loud.

My query was not to open up a debate or trial, nor to impugn the decision or judgement of the mods - similar to maturx, I had a positive experience dealing with he-who-now-shall-not-be-named and was surprised by this announcement of a ban.

Thanks to the various moderators for shedding further light on the decision.

 

I'm a bit shocked to learn this has to happen to a long time member. I understand that this is the final decision and there will be no appeal, so I've gone to look for and re-read all the rules on OF and I've only found rules that would remove postings but nothing about revoking a membership. May I ask what were the specific rules that have been violated? If nothing too specific exists yet, should there be something clearer and more visible set out to deal with membership in general?

Regards,

Tony

 

I'm an old guy, and one thing I've learned in my life, and tried really hard to get my kids to understand (with mixed success) is: generally speaking, knowing the rules, and following the rules is a really good idea - unless you are in a position to make the rules.

 

In case of no written rules exist, precedence or convention would be helpful. But precedence or convention would leave a lot of details including privacy information open to the public, so perhaps rules would better help to not leave the large community in the dark. Just thinking out loud.

 

I think this is being overly discussed as to the need for rules. I think we all know if we cross a line. Do you trust the moderators or not? Bottom line. Regards. Bill

 

I've just buy a Connie from him. Waiting to be service from Paul...it's my first buy experience on forum, and I try read many positive feedback on it, that I've decide to pay on ot. I hope it it will not be the last & worst.

I agree that this could be helpful. The forum seems to run well without a lot of formal rules, but within the FS section lies greater risk and a code of ethics for both buyers and sellers would add value.
