Lauda, It was Diamonds. I reported it and a mod said i couldn't prove it was illegal in the op's country even though he did say which country he lived in and the diamonds were dug up there. He was not registered with the Diamond industry. the diamonds were not certified and therefore considered "Blood Diamonds" by the United Nations Sanctions.. Eventually it was deleted..I think it took a day or two.
Quite unusual, it depends on who was handling the situation (no need to name them publicly). Did the thread eventually get removed?
When i said held accountable i meant if you know the item is illegal and turn a Blind eye to it.
This is not always easy to judge. Besides, do you think that I (as an example; applies to any staff member) visit the marketplace frequently on the hunt for illegal items? We can't spot everything and decide correctly each time.
Get a Dog Lauda

cats are Evil lol
You have dogie for that. I like evil.
The thread was removed but it took a day or two....and no i don't mention names at all. I understand the difficulties of keeping an eye on everyones activities and overall the Mods here do a great job. i was just giving a specific example of my experience.
