I want to thank Steve 'Lol-x' and the Mods for providing a platform for the victims of a

person

(forum rules prevent me from typing a more descriptive term). TRF has allowed these folks to gather and expose a major problem.

Please don't post in this thread, when you should be posting in the other thread.

Way to go TRF

That thread has to have been (and still is) a nightmare to moderate. Great job, gentlemen.

SpeakWithMichael · 4 February 2020, 06:45 AM

It's a good place to be. Thanks, guys.

cop414 · 4 February 2020, 07:47 AM

It’s been a full time job plus.

TheVTCGuy · 4 February 2020, 07:53 AM

You’re welcome.

Oh! No one is supposed to know I am undercover

I though at you were under covers with Jocke

TheVTCGuy · 4 February 2020, 07:56 AM

NOT that there’s anything WRONG with that

ZOOK · 4 February 2020, 07:59 AM

I was worried this thread might devolve, but not this way.

Chewbacca · 4 February 2020, 08:13 AM

Jocke is immersed in his work now.

Cru Jones · 4 February 2020, 08:30 AM

What a thread! Would have otherwise probably missed that epic event.

JayHantz · 4 February 2020, 09:07 AM

Thanks guys, I can only imagine some of the headaches it's caused you.

037 · 4 February 2020, 09:12 AM

Epic is a good way to put it.

to the mod team for keeping it alive and everyone in line.

I really have to applaud TRF leadership for allowing that thread to exist and continue. Seems mods are doing a great job keeping folks in order while allowing such a scandal to unfold.

It’s really a great service to the watch community when you think about it.

ILuvSubs · 4 February 2020, 03:46 PM

Another reason why this is the best, well moderated forum (watch related or not) on the net. Steve and the mods let the true extent of the story come out in an even handed manner.

Doc Savage · 4 February 2020, 05:09 PM

I really enjoy this forum. It has a very low douche factor, and I am confident much of that success is due to tremendous work by the mods, most of it unseen by the rest of us.

Thanks for all that you all do in various forum situations!

swatty · 4 February 2020, 08:13 PM

Great job Mods

77T · 4 February 2020, 10:28 PM

I certainly agree that thread was a massive effort for the Mods - and they teamed up to keep it in the purpose for which it was intended by the OP.

The scam has now been fully exposed.

Today, an excellent story on Time and Tide (which is now the top Google hit when one searches the scammers name) gave full credit to TRF for the exposé.

That is a great testament to Steve and all the Mods.

Just read that article. "Buy the dealer" is what we always proclaim...but what happens when the dealer is reputable and this happens?

Like everyone else has said, thanks to the wonderful mods and this great forum!

Howdy,

I wholeheartedly agree. I wish some of the other forums I frequent worked the same way as this one.

Take care,

Ruddiger

envuks · 5 February 2020, 12:49 AM

I have to tip my hat again to the mods and TRF leadership for how this was handled.

As cheesy as it may sound, it makes me feel a sense of pride that the moral compass is sound here. I feel pride in supporting these forums both through my participation and annual membership.

Well done TRF team. It’s obvious that it takes a TON of work behind the scenes to maintain such a culture on an Internet forum.

Yes - I think Steve closing it now was a good idea since it can spiral downhill - otherwise it would take continued massive effort + regular banning

Now back to your regular scheduled TRFing...

Even though it consumed a ton of my weekend, I will miss that thread.

mgsooner · 5 February 2020, 02:45 AM

Timely closure as well. It had run its course.
