Quote from: Taffeta on April 25, 2021, 10:17:42 AMI guess I have the opposite opinion. I think this is an unpopular opinion these days though...But I feel like it matters when you take something out of the community, or permanently alter it in some way that could impact someone else down the line.I've been here so long that I've seen so many people say, it's my personal item, I'll never sell it so it doesn't matter. ANd most all of those people did sell their ponies and did leave.So for me I'll always be on the side of 'do no harm'. Of course, a rusty or mouldy pony is not harmed by being decapitated and cleaned. I just don't believe in doing damage to ponies that don't need it.Off with their heads!

I don’t care about collectible integrity. I don’t care if you’ve broken a pony’s seal and replaced the washer and filled it up with googly eyes or whatever. I prefer a cleaned pony to an authentic, untampered one. Of course I have a pretty small collection and am more of a customizer anyway, soooo
I've been trying to think of an unpopular pony opinion to put in this thread for weeks. But the truth is I have way more important things in my life to spend my emotional energy on at this time. Perhaps someday I will finally come up with something. Maybe if I research Hasbro's business ethics I can come up with something...

please keep notes/mark it somewhere on the pony (or yeah put a note inside it, I like that idea too) that it's been altered! It's easy to say "it's on the buyer" but it's only possible for a buyer to know what they're buying, if the seller has informed them, which isn't always the case! If that makes sense. I don't have anything against rehairing, patching up rubbed-off symbols, etc, but I'd like to know so I can make an informed decision whether or not to buy.
I guess my opinion on the whole altering thing is... just think things through, don't do it if you don't think it's 100% necessary/you might regret it, and please keep notes/mark it somewhere on the pony (or yeah put a note inside it, I like that idea too) that it's been altered!
