|
| as we are all very happy as to the recent hacking incident...  , & noticing
the Gummy Spam has IBM Security Directory Integrator components that are designed
for network administrators who are responsible for maintaining user directories
and other resources.
these are not "New BL Members".. they are Network Administrators at some
company.
maybe a simple Poll would be something needed to see what the Community thinks
moving forward.
Poll:
Which option would you prefer as a gummy Solution
A) nothing, gummy Spam is Delicious!
B) require a Forum Pay-To-Play Positive Feedback, similar to the Seller
Requirement
C) require new users to be Verified by some Official Secondary means w/
Bricklink i.e. a payment processor.
D) ban Zero Feedback Members from posting URL Links in the Forum.
E) allow Zero Feedback Members Limited Forum Access that is visible to
Moderators Only and does not post publicly.
F) Restrict New Users from using the Forum Period, placing them in a 'Guest
User' mode until they actually buy/sell something. any questions they have
can be directed straight to either Admin's, Moderators or Veteran BL Members
who volunteer to answer Guest User Questions.
being fair, let's say leave poll open for 2 weeks...
to give occational forum readers a chance to participate, if they want too.
please just give a simple letter vote, no harrassing others for their vote. we
are a Civilized Lego Society.

| Greetings,
Is there a way to check if a member is active? This guy keeps showing up on my
list with things I want to buy, but the guy hasn’t been active for almost a year.
I’ve sent messages without replies. I don’t trust buying from him for fear of
sending money and not getting anything back.
Thanks in advance.
Name: Adalgiss

|
| I hope the admins are taking note only there are people here like myself that
have always followed the rules despite wanting and being denied a second account
for legitimate reasons (separate business from personal) and yet there are clearly
members here using second accounts to strengthen the voice of their own opinion
in the forum?
How is it possible that so many replies against the variant merge are from people
with barely any feedback yet they still appear to have the highest/most complex
level of understanding when it comes to variants?
Yes perhaps one or two of these never buy or sell and only use Bricklink as a
database reference in which case are they the best voices to be listening to
anyway given they don’t actually contribute to the core element of the site which
is to buy and sell Lego!
But let’s be honest having an opinion is one thing but using a second account
to voice that same opinion again is unhelpful spamming and so I hope admins will
investigate and merge these accounts!
Ultimately as far as peoples opinions go in general I understand the arguments
on both sides and to a degree sympathies but generally a lot of these arguments
seem to be along the lines that the merge is a bad idea because people will no
longer be able to easily distinguish the correct variant? Yet this appears to
be the exact intention, since Bricklink has already openly stated that they do
not particularly want members of its community (New or Old) being overly bogged
down and concerned with these variants. They essentially want them dismissed/forgotten
about! (Pretty much their own words)
With this in mind it really isn’t in Bricklinks best interest to put in place
any specific solution that only further prevents them breaking away from what
they are trying to break away from? Therefore in the end it can only be for individual
members who care about this stuff to either use the comments field or ask the
question!
The way I see it, this change is probably going to hinder maybe 1% of the community
whilst making things smoother and more efficient for 99% of the community. It’s
a no brainer from Bricklinks perspective!

| Hello,
It's been interesting seeing the various initiatives that LEGO's marketing
team have pursued since taking over the site (MOC shop, BDP program) etc.
The compliance work around taxation is also good to see.
However, I believe the majority of visitors to the site are here for the parts
marketplace, particularly the non-XP experience, and unfortunately it appears
that this has been left with zero allocation of developer time for feature enhancements,
just basic maintenance and bug fixes.
While I don't want to share exact numbers, I will say that by selling on
multiple platforms since before the takeover, we have observed a significant
and increasing decline in Bricklink's marketshare amongst part buyers, as
it's competition has continued to improve upon the core marketplace experience,
while the Bricklink team are distracted.
I'm sure that the marketing team has more ideas up their sleaves, but I hope
that they are also able to recognise the importance of improving upon the core
experience to protect their investment.
Thanks
