It seems pretty clear that someone is continually posting the BuyRite deals for personal profit--lots of One Posters.

I assume our BB is somewhat similar to FuseTalk. So, CheapyD, can we ban the IP address that this guy is using for the BuyRite spam/ads. Or can we MAC check his computer(S) and ban those machines? I think both are possible with Fuse. Don't know about this platform.

Buyrite is located in North Carolina.
These posters are not.

cheapy, is the buyrite filter a possibility?

May I ask what the hell yall're talking about?

in the past 3 days there have been 3 or 4 posts from a website called buyrite games.

they are notorious for ripping people off. read www.boycottbuyritegames.com

banky suggested a filter where any variant of buy rite games, or their web address would be replaced with the website i posted above. in the same vein as the filter

According to a search I just did for "buyrite" it's only been mentioned 26 times total as far back as the search function goes. That's not an epidemic and it hardly warrants setting up a filter for.

you might as filter it anyway with all the complaints about it.

Did you search for "Buy Rite" as well?

Also how many of the searches has been the last 2 or 3 days... in all the time I have been here I can only remember one buy rite thread and that was around xmas time...If I remember correctly.

I wouldnt be against a buyrite filter but my opinion is a bit biased. Personally I remember then having a couple REALLY good deals but when I ordered...it was just cancelled 2 weeks later and I did have to follow up with them to get a refund. They truely are shady.

I read a GREAT thread about a guy getting arrested for attacked an employee there after he was ripped off from some really expensice Neo Geo games. He actually flew out there and went into the place with a bat. Its a great thread to read.

I dare someone to find it...

It would be funny it buyrite was filtered to be buywrong lol

Even though it may be biased, I think a filter would do good. Or alteast use it to add on a message with the Boycott link. Its a horrible place.

A search on that brings up 22 hits and a lot of them are the same hits from the "buyrite" search. I really don't feel like counting which ones are and aren't, so we can just say it's somewhere between 22 and 48 messages that contain some variation. Many of them are bitching about the place too, so I'd guess it's under 10 that are actually advertising for it. So less than 10/127292 posts might be buyrite spamming.

Hey defender, how did you manage to get a refund from them? I'm still in the process of it after calling like multiple times

buyrite needs to be shaq-fu'd for this site.

i agree, all buyrite thrreads are the same, people say the same things and the boycott link gets posted in every thread, a filter on them would make it a non-issue

im not over reacting like the topic poster who would have u believe an epidemic of spam is comming from them, however they have terrible business practices and should never be dealt with

Also agreeing with WSB, new members who haven't been around as long are more likely to get suckered in if they keep having deals posted. It's preventative maintenance.

Kick Buy Rite out on their butts.

Every single time the site is mentioned a swarm of people come out pointing out it sucks. I don't see why time should be wasted putting in a filter when the posters here are so vociferous on the site's flaws whenever it comes up. Moreover, if you're a neophyte to online ordering and you don't research the store you're looking to buy from a bit, I think any off-ripping will serve as a good lesson. Maybe that's a little harsh, but the boycott buyrite site is the second site to come up on a google search for "buyritegames," so it's not like it's a big secret they suck. IMO these boards need a more laissez faire approach. If it's something we the posters can (and already do in this case) handle, there's no need to bother the admins.
