INTEGRITY!

lonniekt1966lonniekt1966 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 78
Integrity, this forum has none or very little at best. You people say that the forum polices itself but you pick and choose what you police. You have people starting passes and such with rules posted then they pick and choose who those rules apply to and no one "polices" them. You have people that make bets then don't pay up when they lose. These people know who they are. The bets you can't police but the other you can but you don't and that makes this forum a joke. Time to move on to a forum that actually has integrity, if there is one. I'm out!!

    Lonnie, for starters, I shouldn't even respond since you're "out" and probably won't see this, but I will. I like to think that I'm pretty active on this forum and have a pretty firm grip of what is going on. However, I don't "police" it. Pass rules/guidelines are at the sole discretion of the pass originator. If I put $200 worth of cigars in a box and ship it around the country, no one is going to tell me who I have to send it to. If you have a problem with that, well, too bad. If you are aware of someone not paying up on a wager on here, then say who it is. I, nor anyone else probably, keeps track of other people's bets. Feel free to be the police if you are aware of an infraction. Lastly, calling this place a joke is a joke. I'm sorry you're not enjoying your time here. Sadly, this is probably the most inviting cigar forum on the internet.

    Well I don't know exactly what you're speaking about I'm sorry if you've been burned. To generalize this entire forum is a mistake. Keep in mind that every single person on here is human and everybody makes a mistake from time to time. Maybe sometimes Ken and I are too hard on people that join and their first post was about selling exotic cigars... but usually if we crossed the line the voice of reason will correct us. Sometimes we take defending this community too far, but I think our intentions are good.

    Anyone know what this is all about? There was a similar rant yesterday by someone called "Chronic", or something similar to that. Are these guys getting ripped off? Or, is this just another round of trolls whining about diddly? Seems out of place to me, and apparently to most of you as well, just wondering if there's some legitamate problem.

    Not sure if this happened to him or if it happened to someone else. Either he's mad because he got excluded or he won something and has not got it..? Dunno, I'm not a mind reader.

    Sounds like somebody didn't pay a bet. Also sounds like a classic case of "I'm taking my ball and going home you big stupid doodie head." The OP was made around 2 in the morning as well, which might have something to do with it. If your skin isn't thick enough for this place, I'm not sure any other forum will work out either.

    An attitude like that will never solve any problems. See ya later. Hope you find a home somewhere. We'll be here in this "joke of a forum" with the best BOTL's on the web.

    Maybe next time a bet goes south, try a PM. If that fails, post the five W's and see where it goes from there.A vague "Eff this forum" helps nobody, and if in fact someone has not owned up to a trade then the community should be made aware.

    That was a horrible idea on my part. Not only did my team lose, I'm out 10 stogies. Mega fail.
  • big chunksbig chunks Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 1,607
    I told him the reason for the delay of my bet, basically my car broke down and that is my priority right now I don't want to bother no one to get a ride to the post office, still gonna send him the smokes soon as I can, basically been stuck at home with nothing to do but smoke cigars, but I guess he wanted the smokes asap

    Thanks for clearing this up for the forum at large. Honestly though, it was none of our business if you ask me. You told him there would be a delay. There is no reason not to believe you won't make good on your end. This type of thing is not an issue between brothers....

    +1.Yeah, if he asked and you answered...he should give you some time. I mean, it has not been very long in my book.
