You know this and have had talks with the seller about the issue that cropped up. He banned you from buying because you were being unreasonable and childish in your requests. He is the seller, therefore he has every right to choose not to sell to you, he has done so and now you have decided that an appropriate course of action is to slander others instead of take responsibility for your own mistakes.

I'm very sorry that it came to this, and I'm sure gankoba is too, however making a post on a sellers thread which is not constructive nor informative, instead made of pure spite is not only damaging to you but to the WBO as an organisation. The WBO allow Gankoba to sell the way he likes to and use their website as a platform which is very good of them, should people like yourself cause trouble off the website and then bring it on the website they may have to reconsider which is not fair for anyone. Please refrain from making spiteful, hateful posts in future.

Thank you very much.

In my perspective, there's nothing about Yami's post that reads as "pure spite"; he obviously had good experiences with gankoba and now feels he's been unfairly slighted. gankoba has every right to refuse business from someone; however, that doesn't mean he is immune to receiving feedback on his decisions.

Maybe not, but my point was that Yami's post was not about feedback at all, it was a slight disguised as feedback because he's mad. I know you don't know this which is why you put "from my perspective" but he's been doing it off the WBO also since he got kicked. If you would like examples, like I say to everyone, PM and ask me. I know you couldn't possibly know this but believe me when I say, this is not feedback.

There's no such thing as a "certified seller"; the closest we get to that are a few larger-scale stores that we trust and respect and allow to promote their goods here. So I'm going to reiterate it again: @[gankoba], if you're going to promote sales on WBO, do your communications on WBO, and treat every member equally. If you just wanna sell to your buddies, you don't need to promote it here.

Pretty sure I didn't make clear but all I meant was that the WBO, regardless of the fact that they aren't happy about it, don't shut down his advertising threads which you very easily could do considering you understandably aren't happy with the platform gankoba has chosen.

As for "should people like yourself cause trouble off the website and then bring it on the website," let me again be clear: trouble between our members, even after it's happening off the site, is our trouble. It hurts the Beyblade community, and these splinter-groups that have formed off-site have caused demonstrable harm to our community repeatedly. Many members now would rather talk off the site than share information and thoughts here that could benefit the entire community.

Not only that, but the no-holds-barred atmosphere with any lack of moderation or mediation have allowed people's worst sensibilities to take hold, fostering arguments and rivalries that are based on petty nonsense such as this. It's one of the worst things I have ever seen happen to this community — and Clara, you yourself should be acutely aware of this, considering the situations you yourself were involved in.
