To all members not reading the rules.....concerning names in posts

[Leon]

Here is the deal. I am tired of reminding members to put their full names by posts where they give opinions...good, bad or indifferent. Later today, and from here on out for the foreseeable future, I will be adding full names per the rules...and when I add them there won't be any going back as they are permanent. If you don't like it, I don't care. If you don't want your full name attached to your opinion of someone or a business, then don't post one. Thanks and happy collecting....


here is the verbiage, at the top of every page, that no one seems to read but will be more enforced from here on out...

"If you give an opinion of a person or company your full name needs to be in your post."

Leon - Just to be clear do we need to give our full name if we comment on the authenticity of a card?

IS that an opinion of someone or a business?

Now, if someone is selling one and you think it is bad......and you state that, then yes, probably.

Here is why......lets say you are selling a card. And then I come on anonymously saying, no way...that card is fake as a 3 dollar bill!!!! Would you want to know who is saying that?


and this thread especially pertains to many of the threads on the front page right now. I see around a dozen posts where I am going to start putting full names by the users name....meaning it will be in ALL of their posts here on out.....again, that is the rule. If you don't want that to happen then edit out your opinion.

Not trying to be a jerk. Just want to make sure I understand the rules.

and I didn't take it that way at all. I just get tired of enforcing the rules and I have the ability to put names under user id's that are permanent. I will put periods between letters so they won't be google searchable, but I won't have to remind that member again. A first name and last initial won't do it either. I truly believe that rule helps our forum immeasurably. Say whatever you want to, for the most part, just put your name next to it.

I do not understand why putting periods between letters would make them so they are not google searchable. Is it because then you can not just copy and paste? Sorry if this is a dumb question I just do not understand.

I put my real name by my user name to avoid having to remember to add it when needed because one of my first posts was calling out a scammer of altered cards on ebay. I think it is a great rule.

If you search for "Sean Bassik" on google it shows up. But if it is typed S.ean Bas.sik, then unless someone searched exactly that it wouldn't pop up.
