Bring Back G-Man Mike

[Pandyboy]

Just read the whole thread and can understand why mike has got his weeks ban. If you can't stick to the rules of the forum then Deano has only one option to deal with you. I feel sorry for mike, but he was told! I do hope he comes back as he is a top BOTL and makes the forum a fun place. That's all I've got to say on this matter!

Just to play devil advocate, the forum has to keep itself beyond reproach with respect to legal issues such as tax avoidance aka grey market trading. As Deano owns the forum i would imagine he would be held personally responsible for what happens on here, not necessarily right but i would imagine that is how it would play out. If someone is promoting ways to UK members of how to procure cigars that may or may not have the relevant fees and regulations followed then the forum needs to take measures to protect itself for the benefit for all its members.

Now if a heated debate between a member and a mod got out of hand i can understand a banning (understand not necessarily agree).

Just an alcohol fueled idea (always the best i find). Can't there be a clause in the buying/selling/trading rules along the lines of "by buying/selling/trading on this forum the buyer/seller/traders assumes full responsibilities for ensuring all taxes, fees and forms are completed in accordance with the law of relevant countries" Just a thought to let our BOTL across the pond play on an equal footing.

Hmmmmm seems my glass contents has evaporated, how could that have happened? Must remedy at once lol.

Thanks for the above, and thanks Pandyboy.

I see Saggel posted a link to larrys cigars. This isn't grey market trading because it's old stock he's getting rid of, he hasn't bought this box (and isn't intending to buy the box) just to sell it.

It's a pretty clear distention, and for those who "don't get it", just stay away from trading!

Gman has a week's ban. He's been warned a hundred times. Get over it.

And don't think this is a democracy. This is my ass on the line not yours. I have the final say.

It is NOT open to discussion and all future threads will be delete. It's tough titties people.
