I have a Complaint to voice.
I agree that the Mods are doing a good job in the BST.
I am also aware of the scammer as I have been Scammed a few times. I wish i could get the Fu**ers in front of me I would love to go off on them face to face.
I am an Avid BST person. I am 100% honest and Have always been, I don't have ONE Complaint from any of my users and have Done over 100+ Transations from the BST.
My one Complaint is the Stoping of NON XBOX RELATED MATERIAL, I understand there is a Craigslist and EBay, but here is my complaint. Craigslist is only from Local area, IT don't reach a mass audience without loging out of your area and clicking into another area. SO that makes Craigslist Useless to me. As for ebay.. well some of us are banned from ebay. I personally am banned from ebay cause everytime i try selling something that is Modded (and im not even talking about a chip) I get my auction Killed then eventually get banned. I've listed modded Xbox's with just lights and different jewels and had my auction killed. I've had to re-regester 3 times AND eventually I get caught and get banned. I am Banned for life and im running out of credit cards and address to re-regester so im done with Ebay. I do a ton of business with selling Chips, Systems (all), PC gear and other personal stuff. XBS BST has been a great outlet for me to sell. I have established myself and Everyone knows or can easly ask if I am legit and also check my past post's and see all the positive feedback users have left for me. Even if something arrived broken, I have taken care of it and taken care of my buyers. Not having a place to post my PSP's, my PC parts and other stuff... I have no more outlet WITH AN ESTABLSHED identity to sell.
I agree there should not be BST with NON xbox stuff - if thats all the post consist of. But if a BST is mostly Xbox stuff and has a PSP some PC parts ECt.. in it ... IT SHOULD BE ALLOWED. Users that Post Threads that Have NO XBOX RELEVENCE aT all should have their Post's Closed. But People like ME, BOng420, Markland556, Explosive2, and Tons of others That list a NON XBOX item here and there should not have our post Closed. People come to the BST for Xbox stuff, but maybe they need a new DVD burner, PC, or perhaps they want that PSP and while shoping the BST for a XBOX they see the same user has a PS2 or PSP or GC or something for sale too and says HEY I NEED THAT TOO!
Last complaint. I had a post that was created before the new rules were pinned. It was said that all psot would be allowed if they were created before the new rules. Now MY thread was created April 5th. It only had a Few PC parts and a PSP listed. Not 75 post later, lots of feedback and still a ton of Xbox stuff listed in it, i get it closed cause of the old NON XBOX STUFF rule. THe Stuff listed is over 25 days old.. IT shows a Established Thread that is still going and IT was CLosed. That's just Wrong in my opinion.
I would love to be a MOD in the BST area. I go through a ton of threads each day. I spot alot of Craping in threads (which is wrong and deters buyers cause they want what they want in terms of price and cheap skates crap the thread), I notice patterns in scammers. I even spoted a few threads that look like they could be repeated users that are tring to get back in to Scam others. I would research those Suspicious Post's and weed out people like KDOGG, XBOXINC (sith) and DJB and others. I also would close out Post from people that create way too many, or just type BUMP more than 2 times a day. I have no problem with people who Give real updates to their Thread once or twice a day, but those who just go BUMP, ^, UP, Ect... More than 2 time sin 24 hrs should be Closed too. I also have alot of information of Scammers, Address, Phone numbers, Ect... I could help out users who get hit by a scammer that is repeat offender.
I'll admit, I've been scammed on Xbox scene, I've been non-cautious in certain situations and done some dumb things and deserve to loose to the scammer cause I wasn't careful or didn;t follow my own rules cause i really wanted something. I've learned One thing, if the deal is too good to be true it usually is.. Its most likely a SCAMMER. I've learned from my mistakes and haven't been scammed in over 6 months now, though even being carful you still can get scammmed.
I've been active since 2002. I've been a Contributer to the Mod Forums. Helped PAlmore with mods and made a impact on the mod scene a little. YES I've been mented in news stories on Xbox scene when it comes to updates and advances in mod projects. I've contributed to a few projects in minor ways. I've been active in my own mods. I've been a help on IRC to newbies and I offer advice when i come across a thread that ask for help that can be solved in a few lines of text. I have also been a Excelent BSTer.
Hear my complaints and lets reconsider the new rules, you hurt sellers that are honest and don't have much other choice in places to sell GREY LINE ITEMS like modchips and stuff.
