I have noticed lately, that a few threads i have been trying to look at are saying 'Access Denied' when i try and view them.

Are certain topics now off limits to certain members?

It isnt a whole forum, it is more specific posts

Yes, as suspected this is a previously banned member using a new account, which has now been suspended and posts hidden.

The only other time I get the access denied error is when I try accessing sent PM’s on my mobile, otherwise everything seems normal.

I made an offer on one of amot’s games and got a very odd/rude response telling me I’d better up my offer if I really wanted it. Luckily I wasn’t going any higher as I can just change the roms on another board, and a trusted member pm’d me to say he was a known scammer that’d been banned before. All makes sense now!BraveDave2020-01-09 00:08:48

I asked if he had pics when he first posted and he sent me the same message

It was an inspirational speech. I now know how to beat you suckers to all the best cabs. Who would have thought that all I needed to do was change the way I acquire such items and make an offer to own!

Been asked to share the message I got from amot:

I got the exact same email back when I asked about the Pole Position Map. Said I didn't give 'offers' and when he had a price in mind to let me know. Then he sent that stuff about I should change and I might never get the item that I had been looking for for ages.
Something wasn't right from the start for me.

Let this be a lesson to us all , I am the first to jump n sometimes when there is things for sale I want even if the person id unknown and clearly we could all have had our fingers burnt. I have been buying off here since I started and luckily never been done over, I assume I have just been lucky.

My email response from him was a little diferent than everyone elses :-

I think he might just be an absolute moron. He sent that same speech to at least 3 of us trying to get us to increase our offers and that’s the best he could come up with? Maybe he would’ve been a bit more successful if he’d politely said he had other offers to consider or something.
Thanks to the members that stepped in when they saw something dodgy was going on.

...and that is how it should be. You want to pitch people against each other for offers, then it is an auction. Go to Ebay, pay the fees and move stuff on for what the market dictates. VAC isnt some kind of Facebook Marketplace/Freebay, but we are seeing more and more people abuse the good faith we haveMilky2020-01-09 12:55:43
