maybe not a wall of shame, but a section dedicated to "calling someone out"
the offended party will call out the other party and post relevant (non personal) information, and if that person hasn't responded in 7 days then that post will be left up there.
otherwise if that person has respond, then that post will be deleted.
I was talking about something very similar to this with someone today.
I get PM'ed about crappy sellers all the time.
since our moderators have another life and not to bear down on them with more responsibilities i don't see anything wrong with having a section that will help keep the weeds out that we all can be included in watching and police. if a deal goes bad somewhat like ebay to an extent warn the seller, buyer, trader, vender.........whatever that you are going to post him to the whatever we call it thread for unpaid, not shipped, agreed to transaction, etc. and we can move on
there is something called common sense and i think this or something ilike it whatever or whoever decides is just common sense. we're not talking about any age limits, selfie (or whatever that is), timeouts and so on.
having some kind of a checks and balance for safe trades, transactions where money is involved will only create a favorable environment that will be equal for everybody
given that if you put in place a 7 day period (per lanx- as an example) for the person to respond might create a peyton place, but at least we can run him/her off first chance before they get to someone else
dorkvader is right in that it would be hard to enforce restrictions, etc., but having something, anything in place is better than nothing
hpe1000 is right............i am not to kean on gifting transactions unless the person is already established and been here a while, especially overseas transactions..........no pun intended
as far as moderators though............we could set up a special moderator where there territory would focus on exactly what we are talking about if the thread gets out of hand so as to not impose on the others, so they can lay the lumber.
there has to be someone- the queen bee if you will to keep all the workers going in the right direction
i don't expect everybody to agree, but we should be able to pick enough brains to get something working and in place for the benefit of the whole
i'm very fond of this forum and like spamray was saying am tired of hearing people get ripped off without at least some kind of consequence. a lot of our members here are young, in school, do not have a lot of cash and some kind of checks and balance needs to be placed and enforced
