Why is that? Maybe you have learned a lot now and don't have the enjoyment of the newness, and steeper learning curve where more people can help with comments?
Nah. I've always gotten more appreciation out of helping others on here.
The personalities have changed a bit, no question. I know there are a few bad eggs, but the experiences in the sales thread have gone south, and quickly.
I am a member of all three, but not the break away group of w c .
I found that the Rwi group is getting lots of traffic nowadays compared to this forum. I still consider this place my home forum, notwithstanding what I started to observe a year ago, resulting in my hiatus. RWG is a seldom visit for me. I am not a paying member there though.
What happened to the Geek?
Same.
know this is old but boy did I laugh!!!
oops didnt mean to be rude
I just cant imagine why people need to be rude.
and laughed at the madness of people
You just have to ignore idiots like that, don't let it get to you.
I agree with you completely. I was thinking about posting this myself but with the heading what happened to the Moderators? In one thread you pointed out the OP was asking almost twice as much for a watch you sold him. No Mods anywhere. Then a few other posters were accusing you of thread crapping. Again no mods anywhere. The the same poster did not have proper tagged pics for a long time. Again no mods anywhere. I have seen some guys nuked within 24 hrs without tagged pics. Makes me think the moderators are playing favorites or something.
There is nothing worse than being alone. But it often takes decades to realize this and most often it's too late, and there's nothing worse than too late
I doubt the moderators play favorites. Mods can not spend every second of the day reading posts.

Re: What happened to the Geek?
I surely can't speak too much on 'old members' since I'm pretty new myself...hoping to become more well known on here.. .but I have had a few nasty comments thrown my way too. I just try and brush them off and feel bad for the poor sap writing them. Enjoy your hobby, and enjoy that hair. I'm an animal myself lol.

Nice post.
I have noticed in the past few months that the newbies appear to be complaining about unrealistic service expectations from the TD's and the newbies are selling watches for outrageous prices or thread crapping selling posts for franken watches with gen parts. This most likely is due to the learning process for the newbies.

You gotta remember the mods are not being paid to police the forums they are all voluntary so unless we all want to pay $100 a year membership to pay the mods for their undivided time to be here then theyre doing the best they can do.
Im not an "old" member either even though I'm quite active. However from times to times there are "floods" of new members who don't know how to behave. I guess someone link this forum to another forum in a country and quite a few douches show up.
Luckily theese guys never stay around long enough for me to really get bothered with em.
I think the mods are doing a great job, and even when I haven't agreed with em in most cases it shows that their rutined get the better of me. They are right most of the times TBH! And I mean this is not their full time job guys.
And I enjoy RG. It's home in the watch world for me. Even though im eyeing at gens for the time beeing RG is still home for me.
However, I have been more likely to sell a watch to an older member for less money than to a newbie. And I usually have a price for non VIP's and a discounted price for VIP's for theese exact reasons!
However, my point is - I love RG and let's all try to keep the it a great place by leading by example here!

Sometimes people have to do WRONG so others KNOW what to do RIGHT.
