You seem to think they shouldn't police their marketplace forums. That if things aren't DIRECTLY in posts, it's out of their hands. In theory someone could rip someone else off to the tune of thousands of dollars and, by your logic, still be able to sell on the forum without being banned. Because it's all through e-mail or PM. Fundamentally, I think that's a stupid idea.

Some buck toothed nerd from TFW2005 that is upset because he busts his ass working in a coffee shop and has no patience ? All I'm saying is I smell haters at TFW2005....

I'd still encourage each of you to stay on top of your orders using the off-site communication methods that has been posted in this thread. However, TFW2005.COM must part ways here, as we have exhausted our methods of attempting to communicate merely to just "check in" to ensure each of your orders are being filled. Without such confidence directly from the artist, an artist can not operate here in good standing.

A full inbox is a full inbox right ? Policy is policy right ? Or are you suggesting Sidecutter be exempt from the "must reply to all e-mails" rule because he is somebody's friend at TFW ?
While you see a difference, I still see another small business owner. A small business owner who's inbox was probably overwhelmed with PM's about Hegemon restock cancellation, Maketoys Paladin's price drop, Quakewave's 2nd wave availability, and the Mastershooter Collectibles Targetmaster delays. There’s no way he could answer them all individually unless he hires someone to monitor his TFW and Seibertron profiles, Facebook, and personal e-mail. With that being said, try to justify his exemption from TFW policy without using the word favoritism...
And for the record, I will say Sidecutter has always responded to my e-mails promptly. But I always contact him through his website, not TFW. I got no problem with Sidecutter or his staff. Let that be known. They are good people. The discussion here is about favoritism by TFW2005 mods towards certain small businesses. I just want to make that clear for those who may read this...

NOS wrote:You aren't basing anything on anyone's policies, you're grasping at straws in order to avoid being wrong and to win a lost argument.
Maiden Japan should have replied to the moderator's PMs. I seriously doubt Seibertron would have acted any differently if this situation occurred on these forums.
3-4 months is more than enough time to be considerate and respect the policies of the site to which he was a member of.
This isn't a case of favoritism in which Maiden Japan received the short end of the straw, this is a case of personal responsibility and accountability in which Maiden Japan fell short of and is now facing the consequences for.

NOS wrote:Yeah, you disagree... big surprise...
The circumstances being what they are between TFW2005 and MJ are too unique to say for certain what would transpire should a similar situation take place on Seibertron.com. However, if a member attempted to sell goods through this forum and refused to acknowledge contact between its moderators for several months, especially when large monetary transactions are involved, it would most likely provoke the exact same actions that occurred on TFW2005.
Why?Rated X wrote:It’s called MUTUAL RESPECT.
On a side note..., it has been stated several times already by others here who disagree with you that they aren't bashing on Maiden Japan, that he isn't a bad guy, etc., etc. You're twisting their acknowledgements in that Maiden Japan could have and -should have- taken 5-10 minutes out of the 3-4 months in which he was unresponsive to acknowledge 1 PM from a moderator. That is not a harsh policy nor an unreasonable expectation for any member to accept and adhere by... it's a simple courtesy.Rated X wrote:It’s called MUTUAL RESPECT.

Agamemnon wrote:I still don't understand your perspective, X. I'm willing to bet if there are extenuating circumstances (like being locked up) that the mods might end the ban. This is based on the reaction in the thread. They didn't take the action lightly. It was a last resort after months of trying to contact the guy.
There just isn't any evidence of this being malicious on TFW's part. There are no facts to back it up.
It's fine if you don't like the policy. Then don't be a member of that community. But the policy, and the actions of TFW, have nothing to do with favoritism. I just don't see a shred of evidence there.

• Should site mods get involved in personal disputes over private business transactions solely based upon the fact that the seller happens to be a member?

Agamemnon wrote: Then yes. This appears to be the case with MJ.
Agamemnon wrote: How was this ever about "must reply to all messages"? (Emphasis mine.) It appears that he replied to no messages, particularly from mods.
Agamemnon wrote: There hasn't been any evidence of a double standard presented here. Do you have evidence of another seller/member of the TFW forum that behaved in the same way as MJ, but was not banned? Sidecutter is the only one mentioned by you. And it appears that he was on the TFW forum just today. WHatever your beef with him, it doesn't appear that he doesn't answer PMs.

Do so at your own risk, we will not intervene to settle any disputes. If there is a problem, do not bring it to the board. You can PM a Radicons Staff member if you have a LEGITIMATE gripe, and we will look into the matter. However we have no power to force anyone to return anything. We will only act as a go-between of last resort.
