BrickLink Discussion Forum

BrickLink should setup a system where a seller would need to have a credit card
to sell on BL, and BL charges the seller a small amount (say $5) to setup the
store, and activate it, and verify the seller's information that is on BL against
the credit card.

The $5 would offset any costs associated with checking names/addresses. Once
BL has a card # and a charge on it, they can verify the name and address to the
card, and they know that they are dealing with a real person, at a real address.
Or, maybe make this an option, and have a store icon that shows that the seller
is verified.

Or, perhaps make this a requirement only if the seller wishes to sell high value
products, or lots of items valued at a high value.

I would gladly do this for my store, to show that I'm legit and serious about
selling.

Resistance is futile.

Make a Wanted List Public

Would be nice to have the ability to make one or more wanted lists "public" so
that if a link was provided to the list other folks could see the list. This
would work similar to Amazon.com wish list in that others can see but not edit
the list.

In my mind, this would be a check box on the wanted list settings (and creation)
screen. Default would be unchecked (meaning private).

[X] Public List

It would be useful in facilitating purchases for gifts (like little Tommy wants
a bunch of batman minifigs so he adds it to his wish list so grandma can buy
one for him by viewing his list), and for facilitating trading because people
can see what the seller would like as payment for the trade items.

Everything else about the wanted list would work the same as it does now - except
that if viewing by someone other then the owner there would be no editing fields
available.

Based upon the message posted by;

Re: I am falling off the list -- here's why - legoman77

A forum where you cannot be banned. You can speak your mind, argue like an idiot,
mock people, attack people at will, be a jerk, be a jack wagon, or whatever else
you wish.

THIS WOULD BE AN OPT IN ONLY with an adult warning on it!

Think it would be fun.

This forum would NOT be listed on the forum post stats! And it would be a no
man's land for banned and unbanned people alike.

If it gets out of hand NO SUPPORT AT ALL BY MODS/ADMIN/G-D.

Since it would be an opt in ONLY, just do not go there if you do not wish to
be offended!

Great idea.

I would like to see it called THE WILD, WILD FORUM (with a cowboy and Indian
as the icon's for it).

I propose that the Forum rules that outlaw discussion of Religion or Politics
should be lifted in times of

"Extreme discourse".

We could have a pre-set background colour change as the discourse becomes more
extreme.

The Green background could turn to Yellow if discussions are ongoing about items
for sale --
Chrome bricks, custom parts etc.

The background would then turn to RED if discussions are ongoing about individuals
and ethics/morality.

When the Yellow background is up - members would be encouraged to post OFF TOPIC
items, jokes, links to cute videos etc.

When the RED background is up - free for all -- anything to change the subject
-- Dirty Jokes, links to "other" videos, Religion and Politics discussion --
EVEN posts to e-bay LINKS selling LEGO instead of just posting all the info necessary
to see it without a simple one click solution !!!!
