are you saying that by becoming a member I am protected from the scams that are going on out there? Is s2ki.com willing to go after the offender if I got scammed by another member? Please tell me what are the additional benefits other than being able to sell my stuffs on this website by becoming a member. Otherwise, I'll just browse and won't even post from now on.
all these changes are simply an effort for S2ki to collect additional revenue..

If I took it out of context, it wasn't on purpose. It comes from reading all these threads and "feeling" the attitude around here.

This is being beaten to death and there is nothing I like better than a good beating 
The WTB thing I just answered in the other topic. Guests can freely post WTB topics as detailed there.
problem_child is a member I'm pretty sure?
Yes, people need to be careful about who they send money to as I outlined above. If they take precautions they can avoid being ripped off.
Thanks for your membership! It is a great help to s2ki and I appreciate it!

democracy 
this isn't a democracy - it's Erik's house and he can and will do what he wants -
the only problem I see is that there are a TON of helpful people here and if he continues to alienate those who help build his house (without them this place would be nothing) they may leave and the folks that are here because of those helpful people may leave as well

Honestly if we're going to be a so called democracy there needs to be a poll set up to see what the WHOLE community thinks, members and guests S2K owners alike.
EDIT: Bass beat me to it.

ok i was wrong that we are not a democracy but a dictatorship, well maybe there needs to be a change to see what everyone wants instead of the way things are going, put it up to a vote so that everyone can put their word in. Atleast i'm not the only member who thinks this way.

How is it you expect s2ki to help? Seriously, what are your expectations? What I hear is "help me I've been scammed" sometime after the fact never having known the transaction even took place in the first place. What do you expect me to do exactly? Fly out to Kansas and break knee caps?
Obviously you think there is something s2ki should be doing beyond giving you advice on what to do (or not to do) so tell me. Don't just blame me for not doing it (whatever it is) or you risk sounding like my wife.
If someone gets ripped off then they have available to them whatever it is I have to offer, the same as what I would have available to me if I were to be ripped off. You don't even need to be a Member. If you conducted some ill-fated transaction with someone her on s2ki you have my full cooperation to the extent I can provide it. I'm not going to write you a check but if you have something else in mind that would help let me know.

Membership is not a fool-proof guarantee that such things won't happen but it does offer some form of filter. Membership involves making some sort of financial transaction with us (PayPal, check, whatever) which gives us some level of information about who the person is. If not directly it does offer us a lead......

Erik you clearly stated that "membership offers you a lead" in the event that something goes wrong - we all know it's buyer beware and you post some great ways to protect yourself BUT if something goes wrong will you in fact offer up "lead" or is this simply a misnomer on your part to sell more memberships?
[B]oh and for the people who say the value of the car is going down therefore we'll get a bunch of dishonest people here.. Please, Honestly doesn't come with money. were you dishonest when you didn
