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.

Sorry everyone. This is related to a post I made commenting on someone having overpriced cards on eBay. I didn't think that was a big deal. I should have read the rules and I didn't.

Leon - I apologize for you having to monitor more closely. I did not do it intentionally.

Apologies, Ray Leonzi

Leon,

I posted earlier but deleted it because I figured I should read the rules again before asking a question. Does this apply to both positive and negative posts? For example, can we recommend auctions we have had good luck with, businesses we frequent, and members we have had good deals with? The excerpt you provided would suggest that this is not appropriate but the rules on anonymous posting imply it only applies to criticism.

Apart from weighing in on fakes, I don't feel the need to post anything negative. But, I wouldn't want my clients googling me and learning what a nerd I am.

Thanks,

Chris
