  • Group Buys (GB) on SCR shall only be permitted from a site sponsor
  • Individuals posting in GB section will be deleted without notice
  • Individuals interested in creating a GB is advised to contact sponsors of their choice to coordinate the GB.

the goal of these rules are to protect our forum members from another incident such as these, where many people got burned by the lack of accountability in the deal.

thank you for your understanding.

Does this include feeler threads to see if there's interest in setting up a GB or only the actual group buy thread. Not that I plan on doing one soon but it'd be good to get the formalities out from the start.

U act like people don't complain all the time. Haha but no in this instance just doing what I as a moderator should have done a long time ago. Protect our sponsors and users of our site the best that I can.

At this moment only Advanced acrylics group buys are not allowed. In general no transshipments will be allowed. Furthermore transshipments purchased than resold here will not be allowed.

Ok that's cool


I was just bummed cuz we did that fish street group buy and it worked out perfectly. It would suck if all non sponsor group buys were stopped. Alot of members benefit from them. That's all I was worried about.

I'm going to talk to John tonight about becoming a sponsor and trying to clean up his reputation

Will group buys truly be considered on a case to case basis, or is this going to become purchasing from sponsors only? I only ask because sponsors do not always offer the best prices group buy or not, and the hobby is rather expensive already.
