Subject Line: Notice: Banning of Shafster
After careful consideration the individual named above has been banned from IMOC with immediate effect.
It became apparent from this thread that many members believed this individual was trading.

In the course of this thread, members of IMOC were also threatened.
On further investigation by the moderation team, it was discovered that the overwhelming majority of posts by this individual were in the Private for sale section:

Further information was then presented to the committee regarding trading on other forums:

Hence it was the decision of the committee that this individual has been circumventing our guidelines for trading and/or private selling in bulk by using a private premium members account on IMOC. The guidelines are clearly published and can be seen here:

In addition, IMOC does not take threats of legal action lightly and will not be intimidated by members who use this to try and circumvent the rules. In view of this and of the evidence above, the decision was made to ban this user from IMOC. This decision is permanent, is not negotiable and is final.

About time!
Re: Shafster Banned from IMOC
I always thought he was a trader on here, infact when someone had issues with him on Nutz (damaged goods and told where to go) I was quite suprised and said he's a well known trader on the MR2 forums and got a decent reputation.

It might be a good thing- his idea of "good condition" and yours may be a LOT different.
Nice 1 mods , it so unfair on genuine traders to have someone like him pretending to be a private seller
