    I wouldn't worry about it too much. The public humuiliation you're suffering is punishment enough.

    People are gonna razz you about it though so get used to it. Kinda like when you see your buddy hurt himself. The first thing you yell isn't "are you ok?" it's usually "haha dumb***!"

    Man Chris WTF. I dont know why your so concerned with feedback anyway. Just make your deals and don't wrong anyone and you'll be ok. This is a big fool up on you part now take your licks.

    lets see,you made a mistake. so what? everyone does. you apologized so i think it should be let go. if you do it again thats a different story. at least you didn't steal money from someone, get on here and lie about it. get called out,and everyone welcomes you with open arms. so i think you deserve a break. thats just my opinion. maybe its right ,maybe its wrong.
    I got a roll a quarters an making change !

    Problem is Edog, When Mods/admin first found out, he lied and said that they were his friends that he sold parts to, only when hard evidence was shown that everyone could see did he admit to doing it.

    Him coming clean was forced.

    I agree! Its not like you ripped someone off for money or parts its only feedback people need to relize that! comeing clean is the best thing to do take the licks and do the right thing from now on.

    Whats the big deal? He didnt actually rip anyone off with what he did, he just tried to help out his feedback a little bit, that is wrong but its not this big of a deal. I am dealing with him right now over emails and I see nothing wrong with him, IMO I think he is a very nice guy. You guys dont even know him so you shouldnt be so quick to judge, i'm sure all of you have made small mistakes in your past.

    So, Chris, if you hadn't been caught, would you have come clean? I personally like you & will do biz w/ you again, I just don't understand why you're so concerned with EXTRA positive feedbacks. You're an honest parts dealer, from all who have transacted with you, so why mess that up?

    Welcome to the board jonnyb. Im afraid you just dont get it. That you joined only a few hours ago, and you're willing to jump in here and vouch for the guy as being an honest dealer saying youve been emailing him as though its been over some period of time does not help his case. It looks suspiciously like more of the same. Especially when he got a two week ban starting a few days ago, and you only joined a few hours ago! As I told the other guy who was brought from some other website just to leave him feedback, feedback is for transactions between board members HERE. This isnt ebay, and we dont blindly look at the number of them. Most of us know each other and everybody here looks to see who feedbacks are from and if it is from someone they know and trust.
    Im glad that you have been able to determine what a great guy he is, and what an honest business dealer he is within your couple hours of signing up on the boards but until youve established your own reputation here, your character reference wont carry much weight with most people here. He needs to get a good reputation the old fashoned way, and earn it. When things keep looking like he continues to attempt short cuts that only hurt his reputation.
    He is probably a harmless kid who used poor judgement, which is why he only got a two week ban, but he had best use his head, because we use ours, and we are not real big on giving third chances here. He needs to take his two weeks with some dignity and maturity, and then come back, hopefully a little wiser and more honest. And most of all, it would be to his advantage to stop repeatedly bringing this up in different forums where he is only inviting more questions on his character.
    The fact that he did not scam anybody proves nothing of a person's intentions. Do a forum search on the infamous Phil Shortman whose standard MO was to start acting friendly, buy several low dollar items from several people, sell several small items, then sell a bunch of big ticket items and disappear with the money. Several 3WW board members got taken for a LOT of money, so pardon us if we dont see the humor in a little "harmless" dishonesty in building a fraudulant reputation for the purpose of selling on this site.
