Posers or you have no idea what you're talking about...

[peter cornbriar]

I'm not interested in BS artists or Posers who have probably never even picked up a pipe in their life,let alone smoked one.
How does one spot such a dumb ass in CPS and is there some sort of BS cyberrepellant I can use to identify and repel those pesky insects?
I also don't like pipe sellers/ re-sellers that lead double cyber lives-I'm talking about the wolves dressed in pipe smoking, sheep's clothing that use CPS as a market for their own ends.

Or how do the admins/mods police the site for such idiots/ scallywags ?

I'm not talking about the flagrant,obvious ones,I mean the more subtle ones that sneak in spinning some kind of believable introductory yarn in order to gain admission,and then are granted it.

How do I report a possible Poser/BS Artist/Seller-Re seller leading the double life ?

I'd post it here for all the world to see.

I guess you could also use that "Foe" button.

hhhmmmmmmm. Who's the new guy here? How are we to know you aren't one of the subtle ones who sneak in spinning some kind of believable introductory yarn in order to gain admission,and then are granted it?

Why do you feel the need to report such or post a thread about it? If it's really that bothersome, why not just quietly PM one of the admins?

[FredS]

What in the world are you talking about? Has someone here scammed you? If you've been cheated, and have been unable to resolve the problem directly with the individual or company, then tell the story and name names.

EDIT: If you're upset because some people here make fun of corn cob pipes, then that's the least of your worries. You'll find much more here to be angry about that ribbing about smoking cobs. Note that CPS is not a church and nobody here feels the need to be insincerely 'nice' just because of the 'C' in CPS. Posers (whether inauthentic about their faith or their pipe smoking) are soon found out - nobody needs you to point them out. It's also worth noting that almost everyone active on CPS since you joined has meet - face-to-face, in the real world - other CPS'ers. I can't think of any fakers here.

Decaf?

Au contraire. There is no wrong wronger than denigrating the cob.

Strike one.

Decaf?

That's good advice right there.

Actually, I should retract that statement. There is one new guy here - who nobody has met in person - that I have suspicions about. In fact his story is set up to pretty much exclude the possibility of ever meeting anyone in real life. My spidey sense says his story is too far fetched, but I have kept quiet about my suspicions. Have you been scammed by someone who's been active here less than 2 months?

[FredS]

I'll just put it out there. . .
I'm suspicious of Briar Spirit.

But we know you exist because of the box... with the pie in it...

No,I haven't been burned by anyone in CPS
No,I'm not a poser,anyone can come to my house anytime I'm home and watch me smoke my corncobs or BRIARS and see I'm not some shady re-seller who snuck in through the CPS backdoor LOL.

After the whole "Artguy" fiasco, we closed those backdoors.

And GOT RID OF all the surveillance cameras.

You got me, I'm a poser. 90% of what I post is a lie and the rest I just make up.

How do we know that no one has met you?

I'm sorry, but there is no way for us to discern the dumbasses from the rest of CPS posters.
