"Noted Extortioner/Con-Artist" maybe?

Just seems wrong to destroy evidence of this guys existence/sliminess.

With just the slightest bit of context present, I think the victimized auction house here, comes out ahead.

Maybe they should be the final arbiter here, after a Pow Wow with Leon possibly?

I don't want longterm liability here . I met someone at their table, just walking by, at the National last year and it was one of the known trimmer/fraudsters outed on Blowout. Of course there was a several hundred post thread here too, and he was none too happy about it. I think I told him I would take it down if he told me what happened, he told me he scammed someone or something like that, and I changed my mind LOL. He asked me why, and I said after hearing what the situation was I didn't think taking it down was the right thing to do. So, I actually think just hiding the few threads might work... but still open to other ideas or more thought on the possibilities given.

Leon:

I don't know what to do in this case BUT I might in the thread which ended up accusing the aggrieved party of something which discovered to be false, adding a post at the beginning of the thread with the fact we know now several years later

That way, nothing is deleted, everything is kept as it was in real time but with the perspective of what developed to be the truth several years later so people can read the thread and see how dangerous accusations can really be

Thank you all - appreciate the support.

3) Make it all bold red.
4) Close any thread that shows no new posts in last 30 days.
5) Leave everything said intact.

All good suggestions in this thread.

This post below was a good summation of possibilities, so here are some things done.

1. He was banned immediately.

2. The last post in the thread, that is now locked, has a magazine cover of him and his fraud. That can probably be duplicated at the top of that thread too? Maybe into another thread if need be. Link to this thread is easy.

3. Highlighted in some color, not sure if red shows up best. Maybe larger letters and bold with some little stars or something
Might be overkill but if it's more alerting, so be it.

4. It looks like all of his posts that were pertinent to the issues have now been locked.

5. Nothing has changed.

Still open to further discussing.

thanks all. (sorry you had to go through this, Aaron)

Reading through the main thread, a lot of us were fooled into believing Dave and taking him at face value. Dave's side of the story was pretty much the only side we were given, for the most part, and therefore, some of us were in support of him at that time. I think that opinion would've been reasonable, had he been 100% truthful.

Anyway, I don't think Leon can or should do anything about that, but I do hope Aaron understands. I apologize to Aaron for whatever supportive comments I made to Dave.
