I dig where you are coming from, now here is my thought on it.
Unless of course you are a scammer, I personally would NEVER hold back information that might help a guy out that was scammed............ doesn't matter what he said or wrote or whether I agreed or disagreed with their opinion. That to me is a form of tolerating a scammer.............................
I do not believe anyone in this forum would be tolerant to anyones scamming for any reason. I hope the folks holding back info rethink it, it really would be wrong let someone be a scammer.
I do believe at times we can be very harsh AND critical of the person claiming they were scammed. Usually happens when the complaint is nor verified with ad #, phone numbers, emails, etc. It has been proven to be effective at times, once a man starts lying he usually trips himself up (littlehotrod), angering someone is the best way to get them out of their game! All liars eventually get caught!
So if there are folks out there needing to make their plight public, please do it now. Be sure to include your pertinent information!

This seems to be getting worse lately. I for one would not want the first responds to say something like, you need better grammer. Not everyone on here knows good spelling or how to puncuate. And I don't see spell check on here. Or how about the moderators put in a "RANT & RAVE" section for those like me, LOL. There's alot of people in racing that has had bad expreinces with people thats not on here, but looking to save someone else some grief later on. They find this section and just want to rant and share. Do You blame them? I don't post that much, but I love to come on and read the posts where Scorpion leads the pack to get justice for someone. Or just to offer someone advice on what they can do. Or even to find out who is a good seller. Guys, and I mean the ones that frequent this section, I like you all and love to read the posts, but a few of you need to think before you write. I'm sure I'll get that last line turned back at me.
Help the people alittle, before you chose to make fun of them. I just think the more people that feel welcomed in this section, the more help for everyone in the long run. If the moderators thinks this post is wrong please delete it. Thanks for reading. Merry Christmas and happy Holidays to all.
Just wanted to bring this back to the top. It got way off subject. I think its an issue that needs dealt with.I know people that have been scammed on RJ and would like to warn others but refuse to post on here because they dont have the time to deal with the peolpe that use this forum as a form of negative entertainment. You know who you are.Your like a pack of hungry wolfs waiting to be thrown a bone. And then you want to see who can get the biggest piece.(Who can top the other ones post)Do you really believe that this helps. All you do is make people mad, and run them off. Or they dont even post at all,for fear of being bashed for one reason or another. Then the scammer lives to scam another day. Ive even seen positve post on here answered with negative comments. I dont believe this helps anyone. I respect what this forum is suppose to be for. However I dont approve of some of the tactics (If thats what you believe it is) that are used. I think if you would try to handle things in a more positive way, you would get better results. Not only that, more people would come on here and post, because they would feel welcome, as the original poster stated. And if more people post more scammers are caught. JMO

No It doesnt mean you have to quit waterboarding. LOL. But you might get an all around better result on here, if you use it as a last resort. Think about this.You may say something that strikes someone the wrong way(May not even be the person your posting about). That COULD be someone that can help or enlighten YOU in YOUR future or past bad deals. But they opt not to because of something you wrote. Something to think about.
