Two “disagreements “.
And I totally accept what you are saying.
It’s a system based on trust.
Sadly trust sometimes gets abused.

On the plus side….. Another post

Not so much disagreements as repetitions of the reasons why it is like it is. Two rebuttals, if you will.

Just look what interacting with the community gets you! [emoji23] (also, no shit-posting [emoji6])

I thought it always personal buy and sell at your own risk.  I don't see how IH responsible for fraud or unhappy transactions and pull them in.
It is good IH steps in and help prevent frauds and thank you.

I don’t think they feel responsible, it’s just utterly and completely annoying the amount of spammy scams there are.

Remember when everyone got along and we just chatted civilly about Covid?  Those were the good old days.

I really try to not have an online presence anywhere.  Obviously, this is very hard to achieve 100% as the interwebs must be used as a tool in some ways.  Case in point, I regularly use this forum as a means for research (utilizing the experiences, opinions, and knowledge of members who are willing to share through posts), creative ideas, entertainment, and only once to purchase an item.  I did browse the sales section often out of curiosity.  I have my favorite topics that I go to a few times a week, I guess that is why it took me a minute to figure out what happened to the member sales section.

While I don't disagree that measures need to be made to combat scammers, it does bum me out that I am now left feeling less of a part of this great community.  I also understand that being an observer and information gatherer can be looked at as a non-contributor.

Whether or not the community agrees with me, I feel that I am an important piece to the puzzle. I almost exclusively purchase IH (mainly through local and US based retailers), I regurlarly speak to my choice of clothing excitedly to whomever is listening, and I consume the knowledge delivered here.

Just my long winded two cents! Perhaps this is is just written as a means to crawl to 20…...I'll get there.

Happily you still have access to 99% of the forum in the meantime. Thanks for your input.

You'll be there in no time at all

Shit posting and necroposting are not good ways to be respected citizens of the community.  Please try and put some effort into your posts.

Blatant shit posting and/or necroposting will get you banned!!!

[sabergirl]

What do you mean by necroposting? Sometimes bumping a really old thread is the best way to continue a dialogue. For extinct items, for example…

Really good question:  necroposting old dormant threads just to reach 20 posts is what I’m currently addressing.  Some of the last 20 posts have been topics not touched since 2017.

I don’t mind bringing up old product threads if the discussion is interesting or insightful, but bringing up what fragrances you wear for the sake of reaching 20 posts is pushing it.  Especially if it’s a list just to make a post.  If some effort was put into a post addressing the (who, what, when, where, why, how) would get a little more leniency.

[neph93]

Putting a modicum of effort into your shitposting does not remove the shit.

[Kasi]

These freshee

Making me laugh….

Only 20 post… moaning about that.

What if it was 100 post to open the market

It will be like a nail hit you in the head

I feel like that isn’t fair. At least they found the fragrance thread? How else is one supposed to contribute?

I agree unless someone is being a jerk, right?
