    You realize there's people that live beyond Hope, right? Makes it pretty tough if you live in the North or interior.

    Wouldn't it be more friendly to do a Feedback score like CGN has? I live in the middle of nowhere and it is hard to do face to face in Langley.
    The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.
    The worst day slinging lead is still better than the best day working.
    Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

    Yes it is ridiculous... face to face on the mainland is out of the question for those who live on Vancouver Island too...

    it's not about being friendly for sure...

    You among others were in negotiations with Traviss for items of all kinds, had I done nothing there would be a whole different set of threads about how we did nothing and long time members got ripped off. If a genuine person joins up and has to wait 3 months whats the big deal, rip off artists may no wait that long, they'll find another site.

    I was in negotiations to sell to 'travis' but he was unwilling to pay me...

    The new rules would make it harder for the three examples you posted...

    but it has also made it harder for every honest person in the future.

    I think if all the members stopped hiding behind fake names and used our real names and addresses the moderators could see more easily the frauds...

    I do think it is good we are having this discussion.

    If someone has a trader rating on another site post it up. Would you rather be out of pocket or have to wait a few weeks?

    We Mods and in fact many members have zero means to tell a crook from an honest member, and I will admit it's at the new members expense. How else do we deal with shit like this?
    This guy(TRAVISS) is asking for photos of my gun for sale HE HAS A STOLEN ID

    Well PUT ! If people don t like the way its run go else where like CGN - jmo RJ

    I don’t think this is unreasonable.
    Personally I have always had great interactions with the people I’ve dealt with on this site.And I’ve learned lots and felt generally welcomed.
    The internet (well the world really) is full of folks who would sooner rip people off rather than treat one another decently,I think the HBC forums is a community aimed at the latter (fellow hunters and outdoorsmen with common ground and a spot to find eachother)and that is something worth cultivating and protecting.Thats why I joined these forums and not some of the others.
    My two cents anyway as a newer member (been here just over a year and a bit)
