If this forum is a non censored forum please explain how my Mexican friend is allowed to 'lock' his posts? (see under For Sale/Trade)
Effectively that means he is censoring this forum as HE sees fit, seems to go against what the original owners intended?
I suggest he is should either be banned for breaking the unwritten rule or his ability to lock his posts removed...or we just take him out the back to the Torture Garden---2---100k18
-
I say his account should be deleted... It's not censorship if his actions mimic a spambot.

while I don't agree that someone should be banned for locking their topic - as it is an option - it's just one of those things that shows what a (censored for ladies) that (censored for ladies) is
not sure I agree with Matt's comment above, however, I do think he makes a point
-

I find him almost as annoying as some other dealers here but it is a slippery slope.
-
In what is essentially an un-moderated, certainly uncensored, forum removing the lock ability ensures it stays that way.
There is no doubt he is a spammer, technically illegal - I can point you to probably a dozen if not more websites where he consistently just spams (not just the main poster forums). So by locking out his posts he removes the rights of others to post their thoughts, that is censorship - or are we now going down that road?
He doesn't care, he adds no value to this forum in any discussion, personally I'd rather see him removed simply because of his spamming but I understand and accept the reasons for not doing so (even if in this case I don't necessarily agree with it )therefore his posts should be 'unlocked' so it remains an equal forum for all.
A simple option Admin can attend to.
-
I have disabled the "lock topic" option for all but admins. If someone wants to have their topic locked, just post a reply to your own topic asking that it be considered for locking. Of course, we might just lock the damned thing if all that lorem ipsum shit keeps getting posted. Just because you don't like what he's selling does not make him a spammer. There are some people that have bought from him, I am sure. While I don't like what he sells, nor do I like the format that he posts his for-sale items to, so far he has not been difficult.
There are some strong personalities on this board, and we entertain them all. Be careful not to call the kettle black.
Just sayin....

Agreed, he doesn't actually do anything wrong, the most he could be accused of is over pricing, and indecipherable posts, but there's a couple of others who do at least one of these things. There's other people around who actually piss me off a hundred times more than this guy. We all have people who rub us the wrong way.

With the exception he is about the only one I can think of who does not contribute to one single conversation in this forum or in any other forum or any other website. If you are going to sell a product to others you might consider being a part of that which you leech off, common business sense. He's been doing this since the late 90s that I am aware of, he ONLY uses free forums/web hosts to peddle his wares it's the easiest way to start up another when he gets closed down.
Be careful not to call the kettle black.
Who you calling a kettle? Jug.
-
No need to delete the guy... He's sort of like an ant mound, if you don't poke it with a stick it is just a pile of dirt...
-
Seriously, you DON'T NEED to look. Steer clear and he will go away.
-
Check his page views on ns4 I think it's clear he will stick around with nobody even looking let alone replying, he is persistent if nothing else.

Agreed.

Not a spammer? Look for his lovely name on each and every one of these pages, he doesn't go away if you ignore him he just increases the volume because you let him, hence his posts have increased here.

Whilst some of those are older posts, the point is still valid as he cares not where he posts nor how often, nor is any of his posts an actually post, simply a lame advert/link = SPAM.
And this in the last month just off the one website (report):
http://boardreader.com/s/posterazzi.html?d=1349654400&b=1352332799
NOTHING to do with me (or anyone else here) not liking what he sells and EVERYTHING to do with the fact he, in ANY language is the definition of a spammer.
-
He's been doing this since the late 90s that I am aware of,
damn David.. have you really been around the movie poster forums this long????
-
David, do you realize how much advertising you just gave him?
-

Maybe a lurker on MPT.

David, are you miffed you didn't 'get' the other posterazzi thread (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,5113.0.html) and ended up looking a bit of a goose maybe after realising what was going on? Honk!
So I am a perfect match for posterazzi??? Better than having cats pressing their anus's on posters and photographing it and sharing in the forum and thinking nothing of it.
I do agree though, if you can't tell, I also wish the posterazzi ads would disappear
-
It is funny, the more we talk about him the better it is for him! That's ok. I don't begrudge someone trying to make a buck, even if he doesn't participate. In face, be careful what you wish for, he might participate and then you might REALLY hate him!
If his for-sale posts got to be too much, I would simply combine the threads into one. It's no worry.
-
I said my piece, the guy is a low life spammer, he floods his crap on other people's forums, blogs and websites, he has no morals about it either - these people make money off the fact other people don't do anything about it. There should be a difference between entertaining 'strong personalities on this board' and condoning the illegal/immoral/anti-social.

Just my two cents, by way of example:
Illegal = fucking your sister
Immoral = fucking your sister
Anti-social = picking your nose while fucking your sister
-
Yeah that would be fine if this was a f*cking your sister forum, but this is a poster forum for collectors and dealers alike. Gary Silver (his real name I believe), of San Diego, by any stretch of the imagination is not a dealer he is a spammer. In the past 24 hours he has posted 11 of his crap spam ads in this forum alone and who the hell knows how many elsewhere, I could do a count but I can't be bothered.
Just my two cents, by way of example:
Me, I'm the guy that sees a tree branch in the road and will stop the car and move it so it doesn't affect me as well as other road users in the future, apparently you not only swerve to avoid it you look the other way.
-
Actually, I was in the grocery store last night and I saw a big jalapeno pepper on the floor that was just waiting to have someone step on it, slip, fall and then sue. I did pick it up and toss it out of the way.
So, my little dickhead friend, you don't know everything after all.
But I love you. Hugs and kisses. bed1

Even dumping his crap on a fan site of Brigitte! Sacrilege!

Spambot biatch
The volume is increasing remarkably.
I reported his ass to a few organisations, I included plenty of examples of his ads spam which in some cases (dependent on the day) is exactly the same on many many sites (which is considered spam due to it's multiple/mass postings). I also reported his email address as being the source of spam material with evidence (abuse@hotmail.com) and to the likes of Picasa (Google). Sure he can change it, but at least it is a pain in the ass for him, he has had many email addresses and internet hosts over time yahoo comes to mind, there are others which I forget as I write.
It may take a while but I'll move that tree limb to the side of the road, and it would be nice if sites and forums like this started doing the same. His IP address would be helpful too...
-
Seriously, why do you care?
-
Because he is spammer, spamming is an internet scourge where innocent people are often screwed over, regrettably volume almost always guarantees success. Add to the fact he is not actually for the hobby, he doesn't care about the hobby, he has never contributed anything more than continual /spam to the hobby - in short he doesn't care about collectors he just cares how much he can screw out of them...and I quote "...and while Silver hopes whoever purchases it does something to “benefit Mexico and its cultural legacy,” he also admits, “I’m in it for the money.”. That was six year ago...
The second part of that statement cancels any "good" intentions of the first part (as if he meant that anyway).
So why do you not care? Is it because he doesn't affect or you choose to ignore what he does so why should you bother? Ari, if you were being hassled on the street I would cross the road to help you, even if I didn't know you, sometimes people need no reason to take part other than it's the right thing to do for one or for the community in general. Apathy is no excuse for inaction.
-
I agree with helping people, I just don't agree he is hassling anyone.
Only peoples time he wastes is people who read it, and people who talk about him.
If anyone wants to start a campaign against people who do stuff ONLY for the money and nothing else, it would be a pretty big task, plus your rubbish wont be collected next week. Dont get me wrong if you want to, or are offended by him I think go for it. Theres fights I am willing to fight that I am sure many don't understand. I was just curious why this one is all.

Sorry Ari, but if you don't think constant posting adverts to dozens of forums/websites etc with adverts is not hassling then we have different view on /spam.
Good to see he is hijacking other people's threads now other than mine in the For Sale (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,5173.0.html) - he could give a shit about who what or where.

that IS out of line

What I said (both or one sentence?) or what he did (hijacked Holiday's thread)?
-
Just ignore him! I am starting to think you have a personal vendetta against him at this point. Who cares where he posts and how often if they don't want him to, they can ban him... Is there something I don't know about here? I am just not seeing the issue here. Who swung first? If I recall it was not him...
When I approached the guy about some Rear Window cards he was quick to respond, sent pics and a price... He didn't want to break the set so I let him know I would think about it - he was looking to be an ok dealer...
Maybe the best advice is for him to have a single thread - Posterazzi's Poster Thread and post like Bruce does.
-
what he did (hijacked Holiday's thread)?
very bad

very bad
He didn't hijack it any more than Bruce did... An am so confused. Is this some douchebag seller that I don't know about?

Just because in here you choose to ignore it doesn't make it go away, he is a cancer that is spreading across the internet, he is increasing his volume and I've posted plenty of evidence where he is spamming in many many places elsewhere. Effectively your best advice is ignore it and because all his other spamming across the internet doesn't affect you why should you worry about it. What you are also saying is because you don't buy from Tom Loce Mel should not constantly post evidence of his scams and fakes in here, because it doesn't affect you. Fortunately there are people who take action against the viagara spammers, the nigerian 419 scammers, online thieves and scoundrels and so on.
And comparing his ad posts (which is ALL he posts in this forum) to Bruce's ad posts (who also and often will join in other conversations AND is a PART of this hobby) is being argumentative for the sake of it.
Yeah it's a vendetta, not against what he sells simply against the fact he is a spammer.

Dude your panties are waded up man.... Don't start raging on me because you are pissed at him... You've made your bed now lie in it...
Bruce has posted his list ~623 times I don't see anywhere or anytime someone has gotten in there and started fucking with him because he chose not to participate in the member area...
-
I wasn't 'raging' at you 'Dude', you ignore I choose to not ignore. I "f*cked with him" because I did some checking when others were making comments about his volume/posts it was then I discovered he was an internet spammer, there is no comparison between what he does and anyone else who posts in this forum, to even suggest otherwise is ridiculous.
He didn't hijack it any more than Bruce did...
Seriously? (http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,5173.0.html) His response was to simply spam his advert into that topic whereas Bruce asked for clarification - so different I am not even sure you are reading the same topic...

Also, someone earlier specifically referred to the fact that Bruce did not post pictures of all that is in his bulk lot auctions. I think Bruce was responding to that, rather than hijacking the thread, aside from the basic fact that it was a thread that called for general discussion, rather than someone's for sale thread being taken over by another.

Oh boy, you guys are really wasting way too much time on something like this.
But if it makes ya happy.....

I just posted this in the sale section. It bears posting here too:
_______________________________
I have gone through all of Posterazzi's listings, and I have removed only two that I feel do not comply. The large majority of Posterazzi's postings do link to an image gallery that contains the posters he's listed, and if it's a large gallery, I see that the links actually point to a particular poster or card in the gallery to get you started.
Here's a few suggestions for those concerned.
Posterazzi: Don't post so much. Obviously, it's annoying some people. While you may not care about that, I respectfully submit that you should if you want to keep a good name for yourself. When you do, make sure you include images or link to the images in your listing, as you do most of the time already.
Silhouette: Chill out a bit. Frankly, when I was going through Posterazzi's listings, he actually posts less that most of the other sellers on the forum. Bruce and Rich post far more than he does, we're not complaining about them. I know you think Posterazz's a spammer, but frankly, I don't see it. Is there any difference if one of the other sellers posts to any number of forums and boards to sell their wares? I don't think so. And, I will make this observation - you've run at Posterazzi pretty hard, and he's (he? she?) has taken it in stride and has been very subdued in response. Had you directed your words at Rich, you would have been hit with a nuclear bomb by now.
Of course, you all will do what you do, but I'm just trying to give you some perspective here.

Yes, I picked up some nice Mexican lobby cards. ;)

Mexican lobby cards are to movie poster collecting what diarrhea is to bodily function
-
I have a few, I don't love them, but nothing against them, some have pretty good border art.
I used to have an ok King Kong one years back,
Sold a santo one recently, and the buyer who is a friend and long time customer of mine says it's the best poster he owns, and he has some nice stuff. Different strokes and all that.

If you google posterazzi, you will easily find a website, but no reference to mexican lobbies.

Looks like mr posterazzi is alive and well, advertising his wares over on NSFGE, using that same, confusing format. Doh.gif
