I suspect, but might be wrong, that the Basschat legal department is slightly smaller than that of Facebook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 Even just morally, I think by approving an advert we would be putting ourselves in a tricky position. far better to put the onus on the seller to prove they are genuine and for the buyer to check. Thankfully BC is a nice group where these cases are few and far between, and easily spotted by the members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Just do your due diligence - this place is not immune from bad actors, cosy and friendly though it is. Check for a feedback thread, check the person's posting history. If something feels off, walk away - it's only a bass/amp/whatever. Report concerns. BC as an entity should not be held responsible for what a few bad apples do (or try to do). You need to take personal responsibility for your own online safety. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) so when folk* are like "oh basschats not what it was, it's going to the dogs" ... they're not wrong?

Yeah, she's forcing me to investigate Impulse Response loaders at the moment. She even makes payments on my account and the gear arrives without me knowing, honest! 🤫 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty standard that a first post on signing up to a forum is checked that it smells of real person interested in the forum. The main purpose is adding a gateway against spammers but scammers will get weeded out also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
