Has anyone been banned from Steve Hoffman Forums?

I like the Hoffman forum for several reasons: there are some deep
threads (mostly older) that detail much info on deadwax and various
pressings. It is as good a resource as any to start if you are
researching older 'pop' or 'rock' records.
I also like the fact that the forum is moderated. Very little personal
sniping. I've talked to Steve several times and he's been pleasant.
For what it is worth, it is a music site, not a gear site, and there is a
vast amount of stuff there you have to wade through, but there are
some very good people there once you get to know the place. I'm not
trying to persuade you otherwise if you had a bad experience, or don't
find the site's content to your liking, but I find it a worthwhile place.
BTW, a 'gort' is a robot from 'The Day the Earth Stood Still,' a classic
old sci-fi movie. (Hoffman also has a pretty good board on older film,
music for film, etc.)
PS: many of the worthwhile threads have nothing to do with the
records Steve mastered.

@jakobian64-I don't question what you wrote, but that seems crazy, i've purchased a few WLPs there, and unless there was some misunderstanding on the part of the Gort, I can't see why that would be a problem. (Their only issue is bootlegs, but that's not what you were selling).
In terms of alternatives, not many. Discogs and Ebay are the typical places. I had conversations with several large dealers about an alternative site for play graded high end records and almost universally, the dealers believed that the reach of e-Bay and Discogs outweighed any merits to a 'vetted' sellers forum. As you probably know, grading is all over the place, even play grading. Obviously, you'll get hammered by wholesaling them, so I'd be interested to see what alternatives others suggest. I do buy from private dealer websites, but they don't have nearly as much visibility. A show might be a good bet if you are up for it. Although the Austin show is considered one of the biggest, I think the WFMU show in NY is the best show I've been to in the States in terms of quality and buyers of high ticket records. That's probably a logistical nightmare for you. Do they have pop up record shows near you? I know there are a few that my friend in Philly goes to-- much high quality, obscure, and desirable stuff.
