I don't see any issues with the new rule. It's not my forum, not my website. I'm here using it for free, so the way I see it is "your house, your rules"
Anybody wants to know the "real me", just shoot me a PM. I've nothing to hide.

I love it when people feel the need to make a public spectacle of leaving a group.

Personally I think it's pretty childish to take a forum wide rule change personally! I've been in LE all my adult life, dept. Of the army, deputy sheriff, state officer, and finally as a housing police detective LT., and a Christian minister.
I dont believe that this rule impugns my honor at all

I have no problem with the name and date in the pic. I don't consider it a slight against me and it may give a newbie the confidence enough in the system to buy something I'm selling.
A belated Happy Birthday Christian !

Yeah, don't see what the big deal is either. If you're taking a pic anyway, like a handwritten note is some major burden?
Seems some people have a feeling that being around longer makes them "special." Which I find particularly funny as someone who's been around this forum a hell of a while (and seriously in our "hobby" perhaps longer than just about anyone here--except any of you who might have circa 1977 beat).
Then again, let him run over to MA. That attitude's a perfect fit there.

I can understand some taking offense to the new rule, not to say that I agree. Personally I take no offense and see some positives. I do not sell but if I did and if I did it would be no more than a minor inconvenience to post user name and date. It would prevent someone from stealing the photo and posting elsewhere, not that they couldn’t with any photo I post here. So in that light what’s the point? There have evidently been scam artists taking advantage of the forum. The new rule applies to everyone alike. What would be unfair would be to demand such info from some and not others. I would say offhand that the rule reflects, unfortunately, the society that we live in today. The old days had less technology, but were much better.
Over the years I’ve ordered from through the Internet. Got ripped off once afterwards which I copied the ad with photo(s), and any other information. Twice since when the vendor “didn’t know what I was talking about” I sent all the copied info to refresh the vendor's memory and it worked to my satisfaction.

I think the new rule is a good thing. Most of the scammers are pretty obvious and maybe this will get rid of most of them.
Another good thing is that this rule makes everybody take pics of their actual swords. Many times you only see old pics from the maker that may or may not show the current state of the sword.

Absolutely silly thing to get upset about, I guess someone have very fragile egos. This literally only has a positive effect when it comes to selling and buying, baffles me how people will take issue with anything and everything, oh well. ...Guess I do feel sad for Stormmaster, how he gon sell them swords before he even gets them now?

Where did he get the idea it was directed at " old members " ? It's a new rule directed at all member brought on by some new members who might not be on the up and up when it comes to selling things. It was put there for our own protection. Hey Fruitcup keep your eye out for a great deal on a Albion Valkyrja over there on My Armory and let us know how it worked out for you.

Herein lies another SBG truth. It's ok for the pack to chew up an individual but let one individual call you a bunch of asswipes, all hell breaks loose. Think about that Warm and friendly but only as long as the pack agrees.

If there was ever a time to use the phrase "Ok, Boomer," I feel it is now.
