As do posts that whine about other posts the authors don't want to read.
Personally, I think most people actually enjoy reading such posts, just like
they slow down and rubber-neck at accident scenes. Those contentious threads
always seem to get more hits than your average calmer threads. So why deny what
many people want just because you can't handle it? People love seeing other
people act like idiots and I am happy to oblige them if it makes their day more
enjoyable. Consider it my good deed for the day. 
But seriously... If it bothers you that much, exercise that brain and self-control
of yours when deciding what and what not to read. And if that is too much exercise
for you, there is always the Ignore feature that can act as your surrogate for
conscious decision-making.

This member is a forum wrecking ball, destructive to bricklink posting and contributing
to "people acting like idiots" in his very own words. This member ought to be
banned from the forum, he detracts rather than contributes to healthy, fun lego
discussion. We are all tired of it, including a lot of people who do not post
but have messaged me with the same sentiments

Like I said before it clogs the forum up.
I can ignore you and that would help a lot since you just spew typed fecal matter
from your keyboard all day but you also (if you haven't noticed yet) tend
to rub people the wrong way. Which leads to them replying to you, which in return
leads to long drown out back and forth threads, from other members I would rather
not block.
You want to act immature and and be a that little kid that ALWAYS has something
to say and always has to win in an internet discussion, take that b.s. to reddit
or twitter.

Also, it is impossible to ignore him. He replies to nearly every thread, and
forces himself into every discussion, typically veering them all off-topic and
devolving into nonsense. To ignore him is basically to make the forum suddenly
incomprehensible just by virtue of him inserting himself everywhere

It cannot be done. Your posts metasticize like cancer and infect enearly every
thread or important discussion. You hijack and veer them off course, either
intentionally or (more likely) unintentionally, simply due to your inability
to restrain yourself.
Why are you here? Based on your behavior and how much you think we are all uncivil
and wrong, it seems like you do not truly want to be here. Just an honest question,
not an insult-- Why not go somewhere else where you will feel more appreciated
?

I give what I receive. I am nice and civil when others are nice and civil to
me. Not so much when they aren't. It takes at least two to tango.
Besides, for every one post of mine that may distress you, there are at least
ten more than offer helpful advice to others and constructive comments about
suggestions and issues. To say ALL my posts spew "fecal matter all day" is simply
bogus and shows that YOU cannot remain objective and non-personal about things.

So, honest question: Why are you even here nowadays? If all you do is give
back what you receive, then why not leave? You liquidated your store and make
infrequent purchases now it seems. You do not talk about LEGO sets or parts.
And the majority of your posts are just arguing with other people endlessly.
If we are all so juvenile and uncivil, why stay here? Why not just leave?
Do you not have anything better to do all day ?

I am here because I enjoy being here. I have NOT liquidated ALL my inventory.

"WE all"? Don't drag others into this. Speak for yourself only. I never said
ALL forum posters are juvenile or uncivil. Some are, but most are not. In fact,
I get along quite well with the vast majority of other posters here. Mainly because
they treat everyone with decency and respect. I stay here because THEY are the
ones I truly enjoy reading and conversing with.
| | Why not just leave? Do you not have anything better to do all day?

"All day"? More hyperbole from you. I actually enjoy being here and talking with
nice people. A great many nice people who absolutely have no problems with me,
nor I with them. You know, most of the people I have occasionally disagreed with
here in the forum don't hold grudges or obsess over every wrong rub they
may imagine I do. We actually agree on more things than we disagree on. But it
seems a few have a problem with the frequency, intensity and perseverance with
which I express my opinions. And that causes them to needlessly make snide sarcastic
digs that provide the initial spark for flames to occur.
Now isn't it rather telling how quickly YOU jumped into this thread and made

On the contrary, I think those discussions have brought even more attention to
the problem of scam sellers and the need for BL to do something about them NOW.
We may not all agree on an exact solution to this problem, but it did generate
some new ideas and improvements to previous ideas.

| Nothing is ever gained when the discussion becomes a insult fest. There is
no good when a discussion comes up and the topic is lost around the 10th post
and 2 or 3 people just try to argue there point about the same thing that has
been beaten to death in a cazillion (Not a real word but it is a lot)previous
threads. It gets old real quick and most would agree but may not post there thoughts
because they don't want to get caught up in verbal nonsense that will follow.
Just let it go already and move on to the next mole hill and create your mountain.

Still clogs up the forum making it hard to see other threads.

As do posts that whine about other posts the authors don't want to read.
Personally, I think most people actually enjoy reading such posts, just like
they slow down and rubber-neck at accident scenes. Those contentious threads
always seem to get more hits than your average calmer threads. So why deny what
many people want just because you can't handle it? People love seeing other
people act like idiots and I am happy to oblige them if it makes their day more
enjoyable. Consider it my good deed for the day.
But seriously... If it bothers you that much, exercise that brain and self-control
of yours when deciding what and what not to read. And if that is too much exercise
for you, there is always the Ignore feature that can act as your surrogate for
conscious decision-making.

Like I said before it clogs the forum up.

The forum isn't clogged. It's full of wacky fun. Take this thread for
instance - it is fostering the exact activity that you sought to prevent. How
wacky is that?
But seriously, this is a bad idea. You can already control which subforums you
see when you browse, and you can add specific users to your "ignore" list so
you don't see their posts and/or threads. If you want to censor the forums,
you are empowered to do so without affecting everyone else.

Bravo! Bravo! This was exactly my point when I posted about the hypocrisy of
preachers and how they whined about personal attacks by making personal attacks
themselves. Seriously... Take a look at the posts of those two who started this

I have tried, but the forum becomes incomprehensible since you insert yourself
everywhere. It becomes difficult to read important discussions (most of which
you have hijacked and veered off course). I would love to ignore you, but your
posts are like a metastasized cancer to the forum. Sad, but true.

Fosterbengoshi Aug 23, 2015 on member legopartguy AKA Javachip23 AKA partgal

many dozens of buyers in one of the worst ways possible
"FWIW, I still don't see how anyone who takes the time to list over 2400
lots
(and counting) could "probably" be a scammer, especially when almost all of those
lots are priced quite reasonably. I will admit it is "possible", but very unlikely
or "probable". I have never seen a scammer operate this way, or list hundreds
or thousands of lots with relatively small quantities of parts that average a
few pennies each."
Fosterbengoshi Aug 24, 2015
"This newbie has not yet responded to the BL message I sent him yesterday about
this thread. It would not surprise me if the warm welcome he received from the
OP and this thread soured him on BrickLink and made him decide to sell somewhere
else. Unlike a few years ago, BL has a lot more competition these days."
As usual, spot on intuition Thor ! Your posts were SO helpful when we all knew
it was a scam !

I'm not offended by you are anyone else making personal attacks, I don't

go outside and fight the person for all I care. The forum is just filled with
useless fecal matter lately (including this thread). I don't come on here

The suggestions of having a post cap would have cut down on this. I would have

for catalog notes.

Voted YES for some kind of posting limits (not necessarily 10 per day). I will
not name anyone specifically, but a member whose username possibly rhymes with

Yup. 100% agree. (Probably happens more than you'd think. I just find agreements

I've said it before and I will say it again:
If the forum isn't what you want it to be, make it what you want it to be

enjoy reading, to encourage those discussions. Ignore (either through BrickLink's

Marc, you and foster go back and forth at each other all the time. I can block
him but personally wouldn't want to block you because you are helpful and
an asset to the forum. Therefore I am still seeing all your responses in the

RobErNat made a good point about inventory posts.

There are other ways.
Here is how I read the forum:
http://www.bricklink.com/messageFilter.asp
My Default Message View: Brief & All.
Show 50 messages
When I go to the forum, I click the "100 more" link until I get to a post that
I've read before (which I see by a purple link instead of blue). I then scroll
up through the posts, and click on the ones I want to read. Sometimes I will
just scroll right by a bunch of posts in a monster thread that I don't care
about. Sometimes I will read just what is shown in the "brief" view to get a
sense if it's interesting of if it's boring.
Posts on topics that don't interest me aren't "clogging" my view --
I just need to scroll past them. And I can get a sense for every post without
needing to go into every one.
Using this method, I can catch up on everything in the forum very quickly, even
when there are monster threads.

I think a better solution would be:
a) Add the ability to ignore threads
b) Enable the new post notifications when ignoring something

Voted no...
Simple reason: catalog changes and inventory change requests are also posted
on the forum, it would limit the contributors of making changes and have them
posted on the forum.
In regards to back an forth threads, stop reading them if your fed up with them,
and skip to the next thread
