You first claimed you just wanted to share your archive. Then admitted to selling. Then admitted you want to buy up people’s clothes they may have in their attic. Then failed to contribute to any other topic apart from your own, even after it was suggested by several members of the forum.
I’m simply amazed that you fail to recognise you’re a reseller and the only reason you are here isn’t to share your archive but to buy, sell and trade.
What @buildafire has been doing (admittedly in his own, unique, sledgehammer way) is validating your integrity as a self-styled archivist (which he absolutely is, of skate media & magazines, etc). He and I (and a number of other forumers here) have been gatekeeping and moderating skateboarding forums for a number of years and I as said in an earlier post, we’ve seen it all before.
That’s not to say you aren’t a legitimate reseller. You clearly are and you have some knowledge of your product (I am not doubting that you have some history in skating). What is starting to grate on me is that:
- despite being asked, you have only posted in threads to serve your own benefit
- you deny you’re only here to buy/sell/trade. Claiming you want to share but, no, you are actually just advertising
- I would class your posts as getting into ‘spam’ territory
- you’ve started insulting one of the mods when he’s pulled you up on the ‘archivist’ claims
So, where do we go from here @sweepskate_archive ? I am in a tricky position here as you are posting some interesting stuff which the community is into, but your posts really are getting a bit spammy. I don’t want this thread to turn even more toxic so here is what’s going to happen:
- Your next post will be your last
- Feel free to make it as long as you like, advertise your Insta, your shopfront, whatever. By all means ask the community here one last time to pm you here or DM you on Insta if they are interested in doing any deals etc
- Then this thread will get locked.
If anyone has any issue with this then feel free to pm me (bear in mind it’s Friday, I am itching for a skate (those Thunder Hollow Lites have just turned up) and have to take wife out for dinner later so my reply might take a while).
