Title: Appeal to stop these illegal goods/guides from being sold here
Post by: erikalui on March 28, 2015, 02:08:37 PM
I want to appeal to the MODs to stop these illegal guides and goods from being sold in this forum:

All these things are OBVIOUSLY ILLEGAL and members who are selling this are proud of doing so as it is ALLOWED here. Can't this be stopped?

The first one was indeed obviously illegal. The second one, not as much, and the third is definitely not illegal. But yes, illegal goods aren't allowed on the forum, if you see them you can report them and they can be removed. This is a public forum, not a deepweb site.

You can report posts to the moderators (I've done that occasionally for blatantly illegal offers.) The only thing that results from reports that the mods don't consider worthy of action is that your reporting percentage will go down a little bit, but that does not hurt IMO.
There is a grey area of things that really sound fishy but whose legality can not be decided without further investigation - I don't know whether the mods will invest so much time into it. Another aspect is that some offers may be illegal in some jurisdictions while they are acceptable in others.
Overall, I prefer the board to be pretty liberal about what gets moderated. I stay away from things that I consider problematic, and I'd advise anyone to do the same, but if you feel like something should be moderated, report it!

I already reported it but I thought that my report will be ignored as the member said it's allowed here.
