First of all excuses if this is not the right place to post this.
As some of you probably know, a respected member hadn't post for more than 2 years. Two days ago 3 new listings from him were posted. Me, and obviously other members, felt that something was wrong: you don't buy twice the same jacket in the same size if it doesn't fit; the difference in quality of photo's and description compared to older listings was huge; and some other minor red flags.
I decided to indirectly intervene and asked for new photo's with measurements- I was ignored. I didn't want to directly express my concern out of doubt- if wrong I would probably had ruined a good member's ad.
The question is: what to do in such cases: when you feel that something is wrong, especially with long standing, really participating members? Involve the mods directly? Post your doubts in the classified? Or what else?
