Several of us didn't like that one either...

I thought crt was the only one that voiced his concerns about it, I may be wrong though.

Either way no mod came in and said

I really want to stop thread crapping about this but that is a huge far cry different from what I quoted.

Speaking of which, when would be a good time to find a deal on a card with Far Cry 4 so that I can easily redeem the code and send the card back?

You don't see a problem with a mod singling out one person as "someone that would screw someone else in a trade" when there are numerous threads about getting things free due to loopholes?

That is bullshit.

Not everyone, including mods, read every single thread. Everyone is encouraged to point out things like that which might not fit in with the level of 'comminity standards'. Everything someone does is a little insight into their character. It is up to people to make their own decisions based on that information. Thanks for reminding me you were all about getting free M&Ms too. So that's 2 instances of you exhibiting this sort of behavior recently. FWIW that thread also lowered my opinions of several people a bit as well.

There's a difference between a using a mistaken loophole and abusing a company's goodwill return policy. No, I don't see a problem with Hobie's comment.

If there is going to be a scoreboard about whether or not mods chimed in on certain issues then considered me chimed in. The m & m thread was an embarrassment for this forum. The suggestions in this thread a page back are embarrassing.

Morality and judgements aside - John's point is the point that is irrefutable no matter what other criteria one may want to install to justify the behavior.

Then come up with a rule on the stuff like I suggested then. It sure as shit isn't fair that I should get singled out for something like what I suggested as someone that isn't trust worthy to do business with in the bst when there are numerous other times things like this have been posted about/used and abused.

Case in point

Another thread of embarrassment and disappointment. I wasn't a fan of that thread, but I didn't specifically post in it. I see you're post #2. Are you going to need a new shovel soon? I fear you may break yours.
