The Dispute Resolution (formerly known as "The Shit List") section is where members are permitted to post a sales dispute with either a seller or a buyer. After posting a Dispute Resolution thread, your dispute will be sent into moderation where a Dispute Resolution moderator will review the evidence you've submitted. If your dispute cannot be resolved whilst your thread is in moderation, your thread will be set to go live here in the Dispute Resolution subforum where it will be mediated publicly.
General Dispute Resolution Rules
A list of everything you need to include in your Dispute Resolution post is below. Please note that you must state your case clearly and concisely.
Please title your thread using the following format:
Now, when you submit your Dispute Resolution, please use the following format as this makes it easier for everyone involved.

Members who do not use the template above will have their Dispute Resolution thread rejected. It's important that you are able to lay out all of the relevant information in the Dispute Resolution as clearly as possible. If you post a lot of irrelevant information or lay out your evidence in an unstructured manner, it will make it harder for a Dispute Resolution moderator to go through the evidence and determine the next step, and ultimately cause delays for your Dispute Resolution thread.
Please note that Xplorneet ownership, management, and staff members are not liable for your losses. Your business decisions are your responsibility, due diligence should be a vital component to any transactions. While we are not responsible for your losses, we will do our best to prevent, respond, and mediate applicable situations.

- We will mediate the dispute via a group conversation (unless the accused does not respond to the conversation in the allotted time) before setting the Dispute Resolution thread live. Note that in some cases, we may expedite a Dispute Resolution thread by making the thread live first.
