[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 490852, member: 2"] As I'm sure you all know the hobby has never been perfect and there have always been fakes, scammers etc. I've seen some alarming posts by people I respect over the last few weeks regarding recent scandals along the lines of "I wish all this would go away" or "these things are sucking the life out of the hobby." Now I completely agree with these two statements, however this is not a perfect world and burying your head in the sand rarely makes problems go away. So I'm genuinely interested what people think is the best approach to resuming harmony in the collecting world when these scandals come to light. I have put myself and the forum on the line on several occasions over the years by supporting the outing of these people and their practices, I'm starting to feel like nobody else is doing the same whether it be a grading company, Facebook group, event etc who are indirectly harbouring these people. Keen to hear your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
