Liu Kang (Dan Huang) - when is enough...well, enough?

Please understand site feedback refers to website functioning, not use of the site which belongs in FEEDBACK/GBU.
Do not voice opinions of LK's actions here. Make suggestions of what rules or actions might be appropriate to be fair ot all members. We have enough "Lets attack LK!" threads already.

 

I think there are enough Mods following this saga that they should have a meeting of the minds with Spark. The action taken should be directed at the problem and stop anyone now or in the future being able to manipulate the rules. He has made a mockery of skirting the existing rules and pushing the limits. I think Sparks idea of limiting the total number of knives for sale at any one time is heading in the right direction but personally think it should be limited more than the number he suggested.

 

I personally don't see yet more new rules put in place as a move in the right direction at all. Why are the masses of responsible people who can use the exchange in a sensible manner being slaped with new rules again and again because of one member here ? Where will the line be drawn ? Make people only list only one knife at a time ? Post one thread a week, a month a year ? Or may be just shut the exchange all together ? All because of ONE member abusing the system. The solution seems quite simple to me, make the dealers post in the dealer section and quit the double standards put in place for LK. Only then will we be moving in the right direction.

This whole mess should never have got to this stage any way as LK should have been banned long ago when he first got grabbed lying about his sales and forum status. I'm sure we have all seen other members here banned for what would at least seem like less. Yet he is still here, still behaving in the same way and still enjoying the blatant double standards put in place just for him.......a very poor show indeed.

 

I think all sellers that offer insurance at extra cost should provide insurance from the shipper or a recognized insurance company. If I have to pay for insurance then I want something other than "self insured". Self insured is fine if I am not being charged for it.

 

Could not have said it better myself

 

Agreed.
Perhaps though, since it is one individual who is causing the problem and forcing issues, perhaps finally sanctioning that one individual would be appropriate and warranted. Instead of further rewarding his poor behavior. At any rate, when his rewards come at the expense of other dealers and individuals, something needs to change.

 

There IS a great solution for this. Ban him. What does he contribute to this forum, other than negativity? All I see is taking, no giving back. WHY keep him?

 

Its funny how other dealers dont have these problems. The guy is a spammer. He's never respected boundaries and treats this forum as his own private playground. Yes he pays membership fees but so do a lot of other people and they respect the spirit of the thing and dont abuse the goodwill of the community. He should be tarred and feathered and rode out of town on a rail.

 

:thumbup::thumbup:

 

My god, people get tossed from this site every day for disrespecting a moderator and less...This guy has disrespected the site, the owner, and all the members. What is the problem here? Why all the handwringing??? Toss him for crying out loud....Am I the only one sick of seeing his name everywhere and reading about all the problems he is causing?

 

Word up. Roll out the plank. I doubt many would shed tears over the loss.

 

I've always tried to keep the Liu Kang behavior separate from Busse Combat - however, since Jerry is calling, asking to create a subforum for this crook shows that he endorses Dan Huang’s greedy & dishonest conduct. Busse = Dan Huang = Unprincipled Scum – they all fit together now
.

 

I never would have thought 1 individual would have so much negative effect on the BladeForum or Busse Communities.
Now not only negative effects, but he is tarnishing both BladeForum and Busse reputations.
Something has to be done.
If nothing else, at the very least, let his membership run out and not allow him the PRIVELEDGE of membership again.
As all have mentioned, he does nothing positive for a great forum.

 

I think you're reading it wrong and being pretty harsh towards Jerry. I'd have to guess that since Dan is still at least trying to appear to follow the rules (and is good for business), Busse is trying to accomodate his presence here on the forums, while separating him from the Busse FS forum. JMHO, though.

 

Funny thing is I heard about LK before I even joined the forum. Over two years ago.

 

I have watched so much of this that I just decided I would not invest in a Busse knife. It's pretty bad when one individual leaves such a bad taste in your mouth that you disregard the product all together.

Seems that every rule and concession that is made only affects the folks who are abiding by the rules, not the one who has become an expert and going around them.

This seems like a real easy solution to me. If you have a weed in the garden you pull it out.

 

I am glad I ain't Liu Kang, it would have already been a "flawless victory"
Nothing is fair, never has been & never will be.
A good rule of thumb is to worry about yourself & what you do, not what the next man does! you will be much happier this way!
And I knew a post about Liu Kang would get the OP of that long @SS GBU thread, another chance to voice his anger against LK.

I don't complain because somebody has more than me, I try to figure thigns out if I want to get ahead of them.
LK is right, face it he has more Busse available than Busse does!

Just my $0.02

That old junk Again! it didn't even happen to you & saying that he is responsbile for it means that it was covered! How would ol boy feel if something happened & Dan insured & the USPS said it would take 3 months for the claim to be processed? The guy would still be on her complaining, because he ALMOST cut his finger!! If your worried about safety first, try buying a knife with a sheath to begin with next time!
