The Energon Pub

It seems that there have been too many negative transactions lately?

Personally, I don't see why Ryan is bothered with complaints. Besides the annoyance of clutter in his mailbox (which he can ignore), what's the problem? It says right in there "buy/sell at your own risk."

The rules set were very good ones.

Also ... the toys forum is probably about to become a hybrid forum, so fair warning to all.

Thanks to all of those who complained(<--sarcasm). Instead of being an adult, and tightening down on ones own security ... a great asset on this site has been closed down.

Mostly, the dishonest are to blame. Maybe one day they will perish in a fire? Doubt it, but hey ... what goes around, comes around.

I really want to say something mean towards those who pissed off Ryan, but that would just get this thread locked.

Well, reading Ryans post it sounded like people might have been trying to hold him personally accountable for their bad trades? Just a wild shot in the dark here by me.

However, I do not think this is going to bcome a hybrid forum. Fair warning. I'll bet my MP Prime that a trade post here will result in a warning and a locked thread.

Still, I do agree. It is unfortunate that the few have destroyed a great asset to the community.

Hopefully it will come back online in the near future after someone has figured out a way to make trading more secure.

Heres an idea. Restrict posting access in the trade forum to those with atleast 100 posts and 3 months of membership.

Those are arbitrary numbers, but I'm sure you get the idea.

Yes, I totally agree with the restriction idea. Even if the sell threads get locked ... we're still going to have to skip over them to find a good read. Maybe not a hybrid forum like I said, but more of a clusterf***.

We already have enough senseless threads being started in here.

there's a thread like this already in the General Discussion Forum.

okay everyone, head on over to the link that zemper posted. It's better handled in the general discussion forum. I don't read over there, so that's why I missed it.
