Trading forum is my favorite place to go. I am like a woman in the mall, i love to shop there. Mostly window shopping, but when i see something i like, its great for both parties. Besides, i feel thats the best way to circulate teams throughout the hobby without going the ebay route.

I dont want to see the trading forum go at all.

Yes it is due to the legal ramifications that can take place. When names were posted which have been deleted, I had no choice. All I can tell you is it is in the best interest of the MFCA for the time being.

Wolf, i wont second guess you, but can you explain what just happened. i am sure MANY people will get on and not know anything. I have been reading this somewhat throughout the day, and i still dont really know what just happened. Why the trading forum down because of names? Just dont understand, looking for clarification.

Just maybe the trading forum should have it's own Code of Conduct?

Take away their rights to;
Post
Send or Receive PM's

Word of mouth will ultimately shut them down.

We live in a sue happy environment. The trading forum has always been a time bomb waiting to go off. I know people love it and I hope we can get it back, but it is and always has been a risk to the MFCA to have it at all. When people come on here and call out names of people who they have had a bad deal with instead of dealing with it by telephone, it puts the MFCA at risk of being sued even though we state clearly and often that it is a buyer beware area and we have no responsibility for transactions. I have seen other sites disappear completely because of this exact same thing and have researched it.
