return/exchange policy?

I know anything & everything is "possible", but this is my opinion about the people who care enough about detail to even visit this forum in the first place.

I'm not saying it WOULD happen, just that it could. The sample forum is cool because you "talk" one-on-one with someone before making an exchange.

And while I agree that most active members wouldn't do anything nasty, be honest - IF AG setup the program there would be some jerk who was mad because they got kick off the forum, or an order shipped wrong, or Nick didn't kiss their butt....and who would love a chance to "get back" at them. Don't believe me? Ask Nick....and his attorney.

It only takes 1 jerk to ruin something for everyone. Unfortunately.

Ok, but if they were kicked off the forum, they couldn't participate in the Sample thread.

Plus, it's really up to us as forum members to use our own discretion. A member with let's say 1000 posts probably didn't waste a few years on here talking car care with all of us with the end result of sabotage.

I just used the Samples thread a few weeks ago. Dealt with a very cool dude on here who has posted many a helpful thread, and some kick ass reviews.

Was there a blind trust factor for him, being that I only have a few hundred posts? Sure, but I think he did his research on me. Past posts, etc.

Bottom line is this: You can't trust everything in life completely, but living paranoid is worse.

That's what I am saying...the Sample Forum works because individuals interact.

(I do "Risk Assessment" for business - of course I'm paranoid! It's a job description!)

But don't think everyone has just 1 account on here. Trolls love forums, and even good members sometimes have "evil" accounts to be snarky.

Look - I'm not saying anyone here is bad or that the Sample exchange idea isn't great - I was just trying to explain why I can't see AG getting behind it. Just pointing out something I would point out to my clients.

Gotcha.
