Anybody know how to get back in touch with Moody?

[Mastermind]

There are other people that have been burned here......and not just by Moody. I've heard a few while reading along. The longer this runs, the more people will come forward.

Randy i agree. As long as it stays civil and there isn't a bunch of false BS being thrown around i think it should stay.

Randy, I understand everyone want to know who all got screwed but you also have to consider what value does it add to the site? Is someone taking a toll or are we just kicking the horse? Is someone organizing complaints to take legal action against him? I could see in the case of the latter where it would make more sense to give this more time. However it been over two weeks and no one has stated they are going to take formal legal action and needs the additional people to come forward. In the opinion of the site owners and other mods this thread has served its purpose and should be closed. Nothing personal to anyone.

Maybe a bad deal section apart from the general chainsaw thread? That way people can be informed and it does not clutter up the board.

One must also consider the entertainment value here...

OK.

Then we need to talk about solutions.

What can we do as a community to help prevent stuff like this from going on so long?

@Jon1212 certainly isnt adding any. If we could get him to make some popcorn it might help.

I've been here a good while.....and this is far from the first time we've seen this sort of thing.

Exactly, the only way I see this staying open is if it can remain constructive and that is a perfect way to do it. I knew there was a reason we sent a monkey to the moon.

I bet I've fixed 30 - 40 saws over the years that people jacked up for a "customer" of this site.

We need a feedback system for all the site sponsors. We have a product review system, why not a services review system?

 

[Jon1212]

Wade, Jerry, Darin, et al.

What does it hurt to leave it be?

This thread may be a couple of weeks old, but it took some of Moody's victims almost that long to find this thread, or decide that they needed to share information they possess, or there experience in being "taken" by the loser.

Also, some other less than stellar performing Sellers have come to light because of this thread, thanks to @cus_deluxe being willing to post in this thread, along with clarification by others as to what happened to @nmurph.

How can you be certain that someone who hasn't posted yet won't be the one to take legal action, or better yet, how do you know someone who has posted isn't pursuing legal action?

Thats great, lets talk. Someone already asked if we can add people who are providing services like saw building/modding to the product review forum. I happen to think that is a good idea. Depending on how site owners feel it might be limited to sponsors though but maybe if someone has a bad deal with a non site sponsored saw builder we add them to the review anyways. Thoughts?

 

[Mastermind]

I don't have all the answers, but doing nothing isn't a good idea either.

I chatted with Darin yesterday about this.....and wish he was here now.

 

[Mastermind]

What we do not need is the give anyone a means to pit one "builder" against another. I've had enough of that stuff.

Maybe a probationary period for new sponsors?

I dont be certain however if someone wants to do it they can still look up this thread and see there are several people that might have interest to join them and they can pursue that through PM. I already gave our (meaning site mods and owners, not just my) reasoning for closing it and what could keep this thread open.

I wouldnt expect you to either, thats the benefit of discussing it in open forum so that way it evolves and we can make sure it becomes valuable and not destructive.

 

[Mastermind]

I have stuff to do fellers......but I'd love to talk this thru.

I'll be gone this evening too.

 

[Mastermind]

Most interested parties are at work right now I'm sure......
