Pete - first - I got'ta ask.. Do you lie in bed at night thinking about this stuff???!!!
Seriously - Wes, DOK, Tom have it right. If there is a "dispute" that occurs within the classifieds - and for some stupid reason, this site were "liable" - it's my "ass"ets which pay for the costs.
However - for that - there isn't even a slim chance that the Classifieds are going to be "patrolled" by pre-qualification of use (either parts nor accessories). If I do that - what happens if someone buys a Luger that isn't right? Aren't I "more" liable, as Iâ??ve set a site precedence for â??Policingâ?? And who exactly is going to do the pre-qualification of the ad? Hmmmmâ?¦â?¦
So - should I "police" ANY ads?? Nope.... However - if a seller or buyer doesn't live up to an agreement - then I can police them, by removing them from either the Classifieds or the site.
Let's be honest - crooks are crooks and you aren't going to change them. That doesn't mean that this site should take on the responsibility of determining who is posting for what - and determining for what reason. If the LugerForum becomes the eBay of the gun world - then I might worry (but I doubt it). In fact - some firearms discussion Forums don't even have classifieds (1911 Forum, for example), as the owner is concerned with liability.
In the meantime...
DOK - WHERE THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN????!!!!!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />
