    His search engine jihad is the problem....a ruger 10/22 has nothing to do with a colt 1911...strip of his selling rights and beat him severely [:D]

    I put in a fraud report with GB Support. That kind of thing is fraud to me. Hijacking searches for unrelated items, not even remotely related items is screwing up the system.

    Hope GB kick's his *.

    I'd hate to swamp the Support folks, who we hear are already swamped. But this crap is way out of control.

    Maybe forum members should make a habit of putting in Fraud complaints on these things for a while?

    Or how about a single complaint with a list of auction numbers?

    I have emailed sellers, none has answered me.

    Do you list your turkey calls under colt firearms ,AR's ,1911's, or magpul ,AK, 223 ammo other named listings to get more exposure for your T. calls??.

    get over it.. maybe 20 percent or more of sellers do It and pay their fees..How many do you want me to find and list for you .....You think GB is gonna close the auction and lose many, many thousands of dollars.....I DONT THINK SO.... i looked up a 10/22 and a single sixes were listed and other things not 10/22s.....some of you need meds or get off of them IMHO....

    Maybe this seller is a custom gunsmith who has installed all these parts in the 10/22?

    I have seen where custom gunsmiths have offered 10/22s with Anschutz parts in their 10/22 but couldn't come up with an answer as to what anshutz parts were installed.

    Your search issues are easily rectified with a couple of key strokes during your data input...

    Detailed in this thread and confirmed by CaptFun...
    http://forums.GunBroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=594318

    You can add this text at the end of your search criteria >>> -"Not" Be sure to include the minus sign and quotes about the word Not.

    Anything being listed as NOT something such as in your case... NOT Colt... Will Not be shown.

    IF you find an auction that IS using search terms without the word Not to indicate they are Not what you searched for...
    Then, they are implying that they ARE what you searched for and should then be reported...

    Otherwise... Use the -"Not" in your search string and forget about it... Simple.

    GB IT folks are not up to the task.
    It is too difficult to block any ad with more than 3 name brands in it.

    There are plenty of situations where it is legit to have multiple brands in the title. Particularly in accessories. It also is not appropriate just to prohibit the word "not."


    My engineering staff is looking into methods to help prevent it, but there are a LOT more pressing things to be working on than keyword spamming.

    It is America
    We can agree to disagree
    I just do not think ANY ad needs four or more name brands in it.
    But it is your show.
    And as you know I buy a gob of stuff here.
