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.
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.
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?

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)
