Car traders insurance

There once was a poster called Darkmatter.  He got banned but phoenixs back often with multiple usernames all at the same time.  The site rarely does anything about users using different alter egos, in fact sanction those that challenge those with multiple usernames.  He always stands out because he always has top end or unusual cars.  The custard test is something to prove he has the cars in the first place.  

Is this poster DM?  Not sure - possibly.  He owns several specialist high end cars yet appears to know next to nothing about insurance without googling.  If I had 4 high end cars like that, I would be very good friends with a good broker so wouldn't be interested in using back street ways into trader plates.  Because of the work I do, I use a broker.  

Indeed - the memories of the brakeless Yaris, the M3, the Lexus and the (in)famous RX8

You might ask what the harm is.  Well he tends to give advice as if he is an expert and following some of the advice would not be great for people if they took him at his word.  

The OP isn't DM, but an AE who used to hang out in DT banned numerous times and that's FACT

Wasn't there more than one RX8?

Maybe they'll apologise.

I was going to say when hell freezes over but remembering the AE in the other place saying they do apologise when they get it wrong, it looks like I may be in with a chance

Thanks for the clarifications, though I still not sure what the "custard test" is.  AE? DT?

AE= Alter ego.  

The custard test is him proving that he does actually have the cars he claims to have.  Photo with a newspaper dated for that day.

You forgot about the tin of custard on the car roof.  

And DT = Discussion Time ... a board here which is now closed because things often got very heated and required too much forum admin time to sort out.

If you look at the threads they've started, you'll see tons in Discussion Time leading up to its closure. Unfortunately you can't see the deleted threads or posts, but you can compare the number of posts the system says on a thread post against their user page, it shows about 10% deleted.  If DT hadn't been closed they probably would have stayed there until the next ban. So I don't think it's dark matter, there was usually a humorous slant to his.

What fun they get out of providing misleading advice In order to provoke MSE users one can only speculate about.

The age old question..
Why do trolls troll?
They are everywhere and not just under bridges
