Guys I think jumping from freedom of speech to freedom to.consume child pornography might be faulty logic

WE LOVE THE CSAMS AND THE BLACKS. I THINK I HAD A CSAM TV ONCE IT HAD WEIRD COLORS     

Sir that was Secam sir, the French color standard for TVs  

YES IT WAS A SCAM

oh you have freedom of speech HMMMMMMM, do you think that allows you to yell "child pornography" in a movie theater???

There goes Nep, copying from Amir0x’s playbook.

Maybe nep is amirox in blackface

Everyday I'm impressed by their stupidity.

It's Time To Go responds to NepNep's idiotic post

I don't know I've ever spoken to you directly before. I saw someone, an admin of this site no less, using a highly harmful phrase, one that in a different context I think people on this site would take great pleasure in calling other people out on. I said it to you, your response is to be highly defensive instead of just saying 'shit, my bad.' and that being the end of it.

You didn't just "say it to me." You disingenuously asked me why I was using a highly harmful term, unable to approach the situation with the benefit of the doubt that I was just genuinely ignorant about the matter.

You did this with no concern to the fact that a bunch of adults are trying to have an actual conversation that also affects vulnerable population nor cared about any of the other harmful language that's been slung around this thread, such as the term "blacks."

A normal person would've just said "Hey, that term is harmful; the correct term is CSAM" and that would've been fine. Someone did so with kindness and graciousness in DMs and it was fine. Instead you approached me in bad faith (largely one of several folks who have done so in the past week who insist on rerouting conversations to be about language) and now are wondering why I've got an attitude.

That's why I've gotten an attitude. I already changed the term to be better sensitive to victims of that horrific crime. No, you're not getting an apology for anything else I've said here.

Now, back to why we should or shouldn't allow calls for genocide.

So now Nepenthe needs to be approached with kindness and graciousness? Toughen up

Is Nep aware that low-cost therapy options are available for those with sensitive feelings? I think she could find some benefit.

I sent him an Amazon GC, which means the money is gone. That's why I don't get why he continued to communicate with me. He sent me a screen shot from ReShip that showed 7 items queued up to go out. Why go through the effort?

He sent Amazon giftcards

Don't worry fellas, B-Dubbs vetted the MonkeyFluffer

Given the user in question seems to have vanished, we are issuing a permanent ban to their account.

To make it clear, we were showed the order page for the consoles, so to our knowledge he did have a number of them coming. That said, transactions like this are always treacherous and come with some risk involved. While we can help try and minimize that risk, we can't entirely eliminate said risk. We offer our heartfelt apologies to those who got scammed.

If, by chance, people do start getting their orders in the mail please do let us know.

Did you vet him?

Yes

Did you tell the community it was legit

Yes

Do you think you are at fault

We are not responsible for everything

I was gonna say shouldn't he be more upset as this military slander, but after hearing about how he is browbeaten by his screeching wife, I have to assume that that being denigrated and humiliated is actually the appeal for him.

He's speaks positively about Nep. They ain't recruiting the brightest.

I kinda lost hope. He took the money me and my friend had for a switch, most of our savings were gone in this... I still feel terrible about this whole situation

Oh man, this thread is fucking hilarious! I'll try and compile some posts with screencaps later, but this post in the very thread sums up ongoing the drama best:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/buy-sell-trade-thread-read-the-new-rules-in-the-op-scammers-suck.454/page-996#post-141292077

So someone who's been on the site for seven months, with no B/S/T thread feedback or history, was offering to sell a hot new item at well below MSRP, while accepting no payments that offered any kind of buyer protection. And at least five people looked at this and said, "Sign me up!"?


Jesus Christ.

My dude, welcome to...





Edit: The scammer was selling Switch 2 for $400:

What was the original price even?

$400 For the switch 2 i think.

A dude with no buy/sell/trade history just scammed 5 idiots for over $2000.

The guy is apparently able to offer you a hot property item for $50 under retail price, and instead of spending 1 second to think 'Hmm, red flag 🤔 🚩'  you instead say to yourself 'Yep, yep, sounds totally legit, sign me up!' and throw your money at him??



These people are seriously dumb as a rock 

Complete shit for brains!

[Nintex]

Fellas, I've got a good deal on some Switches that fell from a boat in Rotterdam. They can't sell them because there is a dent in the boxes. 
They're just €300. I only accept Nintendo eShop Cards, Steam wallet funds and Roubles as payment.
 

I've send B-Dubbs a screenshot of the order page to confirm I'm legit and do not carry any red flags.

This is one of those invest your last savings type or spend your monthly benefits kind of deals.

[Jansen]

Hold up, hold up! Now the weird ass Troonrades are claiming another completely accurate descriptor is now harmful to them. This shit is insane! Trump-sama please put an end to these fuckers. At least do one good thing while you're in office

From what B Dubs told me, Monkeyluffy showed screenshots of amazon UK orders, but later he told us he had US orders, he even told one of us they were amazon US orders, which cannot be.

All I know that I sent another $400 after mods "verfied" him thinking we were in the clear. I think after the last event he then sold one more switch... to me.

[DavidCroquet]

You see, we have to keep Nepenthe on staff, despite beings an absolutely nauseating and constantly problematic presence on the forums, because finding people to do the “hard” work of moderating forums is so, so difficult and the value is incalculable.

Also, for those of you who were scammed by a moderator validated seller, we offer our thoughts and prayers, and remind posters that they can only rely on themselves to self-police their community, even, and especially, if the highest authority on the forum has personally weighed in.

Someone came at nep about how using the term "child pornography" is now considered "harmful" to them.

I guess they descended from their discord to get into the mods DMs to complain but one got brave enough to defy nep openly

Community Constructive is about to pop off again…

Probably not. Everyone knows it's pointless now.

[Alpacx]

I felt bad for the scammed until the "below MSRP" part. How fucking stupid are you? 

And How the fuck could B-Dubs verify a poster offering brand new goods below MSRP?

Below MSRP,  Amazon giftcards and wire transfers...does b-dumbs retardation know no bounds?

[Propagandhim]

You absolute useless piece of shit     If it's risky why did you inject yourself in the vetting process and now are taking no responsibility for facilitating this scam?


 

You ENABLED the scam by removing doubt.  You INCREASED the risk.  Amazon Gift Cards, dude?  You fucking retard.
