I was just wondering, since when did you have to have "paperwork" proving that the knife you are selling is a custom?

I had some custom Striders listed in the custom knives for sale section, and according to mike g who moved my thread to production knives because I was "reported" and didn't have the "paperwork" to prove that my knives were custom. Then when I asked him about it he threatened to ban me from the site because he wasn't going to put up with me questioning his decision to move my thread. I then asked him why the MSC listed in custom knives (still) was considered a custom and not production. He asked me to send him a link-I guess it was to hard to find on page one of the custom
Section.

I know that I'm disliked by some of the mods and kevin on this site, but as a paying customer who helps support this site, I would think that I could be treated with a little decency and respect, if this is at all possible.
 
I don't know Striders that well but it looks like 2 of the 5 were regular production models. In my opinion that is probably why it got moved. If it were me I would have probably listed the 2 production models in Production for sale and then the other 3 in Customs for Sale.

In regards to other knives that may be listed in the wrong place it is best to just report them if you see them and then let the mods handle it. Mike G has a bunch of forums to watch and hundreds of threads to stay up to date on. If you see something in the wrong place it is easy to report it, rather than complain later about it.

Mike does a great job and this is a pretty minor issue to get worked up about.

It's about the "documentation" I needed to prove my blades were custom eric. Even you can see that 3 of the blades are signed blades. How many custom knives have documentation to prove that they are a custom knife, other than the makers name?

It's also about the way he threatened me after i was trying to understand why my knives were moved. This is what I'm upset about eric, not so much about moving the knives in the first place, except that other striders can be listed in custom without the appropiate "documentation" to prove that it is.

Several busses get listed in the production knives section when people are listing other production blades, do these get moved to the busse section? I've seen other production blades get listed in the busse section along with busses and they don't get moved. Should they?

And you didn't bother to address why the msc is still listed in custom after mine have been moved.
 
Very simple.

A moderator saw what he thought was a problem and he took action. Your response to him was that as a paying member you should be able to post where you please. If you ever said that to me, I'd be just as annoyed as Mike . because it is so obviously wrong and self-serving. It is saying he did not act in automatic, moderatorial, good-faith mode.

Also, referring vaguely to other misplaced posts is sending us off on a wild goose chase. I am certainly not going to run through all the Exchange posts to find which one you might mean. Report the post with the little !-in-a-triangle and we'll see about it.

Production, custom, overlap, confusion. We call 'em as we see 'em. Sometimes we miss. Eric Isaacson thinks some of yours look custom and some production. Should Mike G. have split your thread for you, too? Of course not. It's up to you to post unambiguously. Especially with a brand that is confusing that way.
 
Post where I please?

3 of the Striders i have are Strider Customs, 2 of them productions. I listed them in custom knives because they are. It's not too confusing to most as anyone who collects Striders would know that a blade with MSTRIDER stamped or signed on the blade along with DWYER signed on the blade could plainly see that it's a custom knife.


I forgot which site I was on. NEVERMIND.
 
Have you reported the MSC yet? (I actually know you haven't as I see all the reports) Yet you complain that it hasn't been moved.
I suggested that you report items that you see that are in the wrong place, but you haven't.....oh I guess it is just easier to complain about it.

Busses for sale can be posted in the regular For Sale forums as long as they are listed with other non-busse items, Spark okayed this from the beginning of the Busse forum. There is no official word on the opposite being true but as long as it isn't out of control I don't see any reason that this is a problem.

However, I see that now your specific complaint is about documentation regarding customs. This isn't necessary, but it is necessary to post your knives for sale in the correct forums. Since some of your knives were not customs it was moved.

Aaron,
Honestly I like you, but you come across on the forums as very aggressive/abrasive. If you responded in such as manner to Mike when he moved your thread I can understand why he warned you that you could be banned.

It would have been easier to agree and then ask if your current thread could be split into two new ones.

Eric
 
So you did post both custom AND production in a custom forum. Case closed. Drop it. If you don't like the site you're on, yes, please forget us.

Abrasive and aggressive.....I just don't understand how this helps your case at all.

What difference does it make? Im not getting any help anyway! The mods are always right, even when they are not. I wasn't aggressive with mike or confrontational. I was trying to figure out why my thread was moved. He said documentation. I suppose the names stamped or signed on the blades isn't proof enough.
 
Why did you combine customs with obviously production models? Split the stuff up, ask to have it moved to the right spot, problem solved.
 
How are we not being helpful, we have answered all your questions and even told you what to do. You were wrong on posting those knives as you did. Suck it up, re-post them in the appropriate forums. Done deal...how's this not being helpful.

What haven't we answered? Let us know, we'll answer it.
 
Aaron, why don't you just split the custom and production knives and put each in the appropriate for sale forum? I guess if you for some reason you need documentation to prove that the Striders are custom, that wouldn't work, but I have never heard of there being a need for documentation.

Edit: It looks like part of my post was being addressed by Spark as I was making my post.
 
This is the behavior I'm talking about. I see bastid removed his post. Nice I was able to quote him before he did. Thanks for being a great mod.

Abrasive and aggressive.....I don't know why I even posted on this thread in the first place. You didn't want any help/advice/or explanations, you just wanted to whine. You should have posted in W/C.
