Mmmm not a good situation ..... I have been very trusting of YDers & other fora members and not yet been let down.

Everyone can make a mistake but deliberate avoidance of paying really should result in a name & shame .... in my view.

I've contacted Jay so we'll see

One owes me money for a trip, no contact despite several PM's and on the thread

One owes me money for items, no contact despite several PM's and on the thread

One looks like fraud/theft

Ditto. In fact, I have noticed quite the opposite and have received items gratis with a request to stick a few squid in the Lifeboat box.

This is a difficult topic and I, am certain, one that any web site owner would not want to get involved with if it could be avoided.

I would have thought that if sufficient opportunity had been given to the one with short arms by sending reminding PM's and emails that naming such a person on the boards wouldn't be too harsh and permissable in the eyes of the forum owner(s).

I think we have enough folk on here that it is inevitable some are not quite as you would like them to be. I would not trust anyone "just because they are on YD" Although I would probably be fairly trusting towards people that I interact with regularly and feel I "know" through the site.

He must either have a 'lot of front' or thinks he had justification.

Oh well, if you are a really nice person then you won't break his nose until after the end of the Sept trip so he will at least get his diving in first.
