when you conduct business with someone from the boards
 

discuss

besides people who post only biz related topics. do any of these topics help you in deciding who to do business with?

i could care less about anything really, except wise business talk and maybe a sense of humour

Since I expect people to respect my opinions, I respect theirs. Your opinions on religion, politics, or preferences of toilet paper color mean nothing to me.

I won't do business with somebody just because they post on the board. I do business with people who have earned my trust....That can not be done with the type of posts that they make.

...Although...It can keep me from wanting to do business with somebody.

Example:

There is somebody that I personally like off the boards...But on the boards, the guy is almost always dead wrong and a total fucking asshole.

Now...If he was right most of the time then I could overlook the asshole part and consider doing business with him.

The funny thing is that he has come back to me on a few occasions and told me that he was wrong and he should have listened to what I had to say.


Beyond that...I don't care what kind of posts the person makes. We are all here for our own reasons which include entertainment and business. :2 cents:

I won't do business with guidos though. They smell funny.

to me it doesnt matter how people conduct themselves on boards at all. the subject of their topics makes no difference when i make a decision to do business with them. i've been offended by comments written a dozen times on a dozen topics, but i have still done biz with some of those people.

a joker isnt always a fool, a religious freak isnt always blind, a drama queen isnt always mad,etc...

however, a scammer is a scammer, and thats a different topic all together.


now, lets see how many people can see the difference between a board personality and the actual person behind the posts.

i agree

Izzz, I was wondering... can I lick your bald spot?

I have found those who post a lot of drama end up being whiny little bitches almost every step of the way...expect way more than you normally give for a lot less than you normally charge.

which bald spot are you referring too?

discuss this !!!!

I don't believe board personalities are any different than the real ones

If you think something is funny.. it's because it's true in your eyes, and people who act a certain way and claim it's a board personality are full of shit IMO

I do business with a lot of people on GFY and have not had a problem with a single one.

All good people!

This board has been fantastic for networking and getting good deals on things.

:thumbsup

same here KRL, it's not hard to separate the winners from the losers :)

No matter, although there should be a no game hunting or politics thread rule. :thumbsup

A thumbs up for doing biz with Tia :thumbsup

For the most part, I always hesitate when a biz lead comes from a post. For Tia, though it's a proven track record that counts. Plus yesterday I screwed up a content order and she took care of every thing with a simple ICQ!!! THANKS!!!

Not the first time Tia has come through. I know I can always count on things being right with http://midnightdigital.com thanks to TIa.
