Excerpts from PM, snipped bits with "...":

As a side note, if the items you have listed for sale are not selling, it will probably not hurt anything to allow for some friendly conversation in your sales threads -- doing so will allow for free bumps for you.

Too frustrating to have to answer questions from sig spammers already answered in my OPs, and say no, no, no, no, when asked/demanded to reconsider the terms of sale I set to be law-abiding, such as only shipping within the US.

This one. You should've chat him, confirm, and send the money

Huh? Did you even read the rating I left on Cryptogrifff or are you just trying to cover for sig spamming for ChipMixer with a lot of nonsense? I DID "chat him" via PM, he NEVER responded, let alone didn't send the money in nearly 11 hours, nearly 3 hours of grace period after the 8 hours stated in my auction terms.

What the hell? Seriously? Dollar sign ($) and bitcoin sign (BTC) are different and everyone could tell it that he is trying to fool or mislead you. If I am on your place, I wouldn't have taken it as understandable but rather I will clarify this. Also there are other users who pointed it out but you are saying that it is understandable etc and etc.That are two different things!

Seriously, more sig spam-covering nonsense? The ill-named BitWhale* had 7 days, 23 hours, 10 minutes and 48 seconds, between the time I recognized BTC1 would be a valid bid (as opposed to the invalid bid of $1), and the auction's end, to "clarify" the sabotage. Then BitWhale only "clarified" after the auction lapsed, after the payment deadline, even.

I had also reported BitWhale's bid post to mods in a timely manner after it was made, and still haven't gotten a response. Partly why I've posted this topic in Meta.

*Whale, as most commonly understood when used non-literally, means noun; a wealthy patron to a casino, gets paid special attention by a casino host so the patron will feel comfortable to gamble more money. And what are you doing when you bid on a mystery box? You're gambling that you'll like what you win. It's entirely understandable for someone who identifies themselves as a "Bit" (short for Bitcoin) Whale (wealthy gambler)" to have bid BTC1 with every intention of paying.

This one. You should've chat him, confirm, and send the money because in the first place you can't expect that people would be trustworthy so this is nothing new and red trust would practically make him not able to participate from future auctions and other deal due to that.

Though regarding the permanent ban is for the staffs to decide but I would say red trust would practically ruin that account's future deal though he can always create another one. You should be more wise next time and always put a place for doubting since you can't expect strangers to be honest and trustworthy really.

After 2 of my auctions in a row now being sabotaged (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/auction-1-mystery-box-round-2-1867468 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/auction-1-mystery-box-round-3-1889893), what can be done to deter & punish the perpetrators? Add a local rule that anyone who posts a number but does not abide by the auction terms, agrees to be permanently banned from Bitcointalk?
