One of the goals with the Watchdog subsection here in the Bush-Leasgue is create some accountability for those would wish to post public ads that fit along the scammer, false advertising, market crashing ect guidelines.

Another one of the goals is to let individuals who fall into these guidelines know that we are longer just going sit back and do nothing. If you wish to openly scam, false advertise, market crash then we the "Watchdogs" are going to do our part in spreading the word about you.

What exactly are the guidelines? Well that's up to us as individuals to determine. I understand we all may interpret things differently, that's another reason why this section is here, to open that up for discussion.

If I post a link to an ad that I feel is market crashing but you feel it isn't then please speak up because you may have a valid reason otherwise.

When it comes to "market crashing" We understand this is a free market and people can sell their animals for whatever they please. We also understand that this is a very unique market that does require some business ethics and fellowship. If you are a market crasher which you have every right to be then all we are saying is we don't agree in the way you conduct business and therefore wish to not do business with you.

Hopefully after sometime has past this section will carry enough weight that people will think before they run these type of ads which truly hurt our industry.

Like BT said when posting ads try and include a screen shot or at least copy and paste the ad here because links die quick. Also include the all contact information.

Yes this is a very good idea I have see quite a few asking about who's a flipper and what scumbags to watch out for for and so on. I think this will really help alert people who are new to the hobby as well as those who just don't know everyone yet as well.

The more we inform, the less power they have.

Just so I dont mess up would it be appropriate to post a good transaction here? Or is that getting too BOIish for everyone's taste?

I was wondering the same thing when I first saw the new forum.

No this wouldn't be the appropriate section to post a good review or good transaction.

Think of the Watchdog as a neighbor watch type of program. Kind of an eyes on the industry type of thing, with a focus on public ads and classifieds.

Beings that is were most of the damage is done.

We do plan to incorporate some type of good review section soon but until then the market/business talk section will be the appropriate place..
