ArcticWolf7 ArcticWolf7 , From my standpoint the problem of deleting posts is that it removes important info on a fellow members behavior. The behavior warranted starting this thread and from the looks of it the only reason this was resolved was this thread (read peer pressure, or a eternal crime scene thread).

Removing the post hides this important info from other members and has a quid pro quo look to it , the seller un-screws the buyer and gets the crime scene gets cleaned up in return. I have no problem doing whatever legally needs to be done to recoup your loss, but then you can clearly post what was required to get made whole. If you were not required to do so, then removing posts ends up hurting forum member, some of whom came to your aid.

Brendtech189 was clearly the problem here and was banned, no one gives a sh#t about any inference drawn about Ryan Smoliak and neither should you.

Thank you. I agree, that’s entirely consistent with my previous posts and I have made clear there was no quid pro quo, there was no request, there was no leverage to demand it and no willing participant to agree to it.

As far as the inferences, I personally could care less, however, while BF has no exposure because of the laws that protect sites that provide a platform but not the content, I posted many things ie pics, texts and communications and in instances where I can, I do prefer to keep legal exposure to a minimum.

I want to clear this up before proceeding... I never discussed with you editing posts prior to your edits, our conversation was after the fact and when I told you I didn't agree with you editing your posts and more than likely I would restore those posts.

If you discussed this with another moderator I'm unaware.

That being said, do I think you were shady or being disrespectful to members by editing posts, no but I do think you did a disservice to the BF's community as a whole by editing your posts.

Even though I restored your posts, unfortunately much of the important information was lost, screenshots of the conversation between you two for example... you're not the bad guy in this situation, no reason to mitigate the circumstances for those that are.
 
Boru13 Boru13 - Confirmed, we did not discuss the content I was editing, if it came off that way it was unintended. Thank you for weighing in on my respect for the community, although it’s necessity is baffling to me. We did discuss the possibility of edits being restored and I was wholly supportive of it. As far as the pics etc, If there was an ask I would have, and now that I know, I will gladly repost the IMGR links. Have no issue with that either.

How a positive outcome grew this mold, I don’t know, what shouldn’t get lost here is the effectiveness of GBU and the members that made it successful.

Unless you have anything further to add, I recommend the thread be closed and I’ll leave that to you.
