We all have a diversity of opinions, it is the respect that we show to each other that will set this place apart from other forums. If you feel really strongly about an individuals comments consider whether a PM would be a better place for the argument than in the thread. Just because you may disagree doesn't mean we have to be disagreeable.

As I said above I am only trying to relay the comments that I found there. I also did point out in my post on Yahoo that the things that happen in real life will also happen in cyberspace.. i.e. we are all entitled to our opinion. But what is not helpfull is when people jump on you for no reason, some people need to do a little more thinking before they type
As for Feepay forums mention by my good friend the RED..
Yes I totally agree, but having spent time on the feepay forums I would have to say that small pettiness over time turned into gang warefare..lol and i'm not joking about that.
It ended up with serious slagging off and down right nasty comments that got very personal. And I read so many times that people where leaving due to the comments etc.
My worry is that these forums could go the same way, as in the 10months I have been on here, and with more people joining in, the personal attacks have started to rise.
Yes we are all different, and yes you may not like someone, but cant we just play nice for the sake of the site guys
Thats all I'm thinking.. its in no way aimed at any particular person, because to be honest I couldnt name them if I tried mainly I tend to try and ignore nasty comments and I never bite even if provoked!..lol
Now I can see everyones going to have a go...PMSL

not going to have a go YET

Please do not quote message #15 in any responses as I have requested it be removed - the same message has been posted throughout the forums in a lame bid to drive readers to another site.

Wigtown is Scotland's national book town and NYKMedia is trying to invite as many traders as possible to join us here on eBid. Many of our friends and neighbours trade online elsewhere, so we invited them to come here, have a look around and let us know what they think, in the hope that they can see the potential offered by membership here. Amusing as it may seem, some didn't think very much of the childish behaviour and lack of professionalism they witnessed in some of these forums, so they won't be back.

Forums, as you keep reminding me, are for the use of ALL. Unfortunately, some people tend to forget that this is a trading site and that traders' reputations can be judged by reading their posts on here. I can see that only a small number of eBid users frequent the forums, but that is not to say that a far greater percentage don't visit, read, then leave never to return.

So, I will continue with my Wigtown based postings and I will continue to request the removal of anything that could be deemed offensive - NOT because I have no sense of humour, but to ensure that when people invited to join us here on eBid arrive, they are not put off joining. I want them to feel welcome and be encouraged to join the site with a view to both buying and selling.

Sorry if the concept of a serious promotion is foreign to any of you, but trading online is not just a fun hobby for everyone, for some it is their business.

That's all from Wigtown for now, but there will always be more.

I will behave myself! Only if you want to buy a Lovely Log box, with a Copper firescreen and a few 100 watches!
