This thread is for discussing MSL matters (reviewing the basics, reaching consensus, solving dilemmas, etc.).

Greetings Mad, SUVFan invited me several days ago. I finally got around to signing up after I saw your message. I have not seen a lot of interest so far but I'll hang around and see what develops.

I am here too. Hoping things will get a little more organized :) Welcome jrsva! Let's all be patient. The other place still has a couple of weeks 'til if folds. CK's a one man show right now and if more were involved, I'd guess it would only slow things down. As he gets the hang for how it all works here, I think the rest will fall into place. It's not going to any of our own personal models of perfection in every way, but at least CK appears to be thoughtful about the process, inviting input, and is being responsive.

I haven't found the stations here yet. Can you point me to that place?

Yesterday morning while waiting to go to an appointment I sent invites through GB private messages and whiteboards to some of the more active MSL updaters in the Southeast, but then had to go to the appointment then to work. I think what we need to do at this point is try to spread the word further, and come up with ways to get ahold of those whose whiteboards are closed and don't have visible buddy lists or forum posts. Any help with the who or how is appreciated!

I had one of the stations that I post prices at change from a Shell to a Sunoco station. I went to the MSL and did a name change and updated the station info. It still shows up as a Shell station. Just wondering how long it takes GB to accept the new station brand?

Wow, do you mean for this to turn into a full-fledged grass roots driven (no pun intended) new gas reporting site? Or?? Not sure why an MSL forum here?

Almtnman - The station is probably still locked for editing because all Shells (except for a few that somehow passed under the radar) are on the "Verified" program, where the chain or the owners are supposed to be keeping the stations' info up-to-date - but we all know that it really means locking in errors and neglect. You'll have to pass that info to the GB mods through the help page (help.gasbuddy.com) and ask them to unlock it while you're at it.
goldieolds - Not a full-fledged reporting site, but basically this topic is for active updaters to get together and compare notes - especially since the forums will be gone soon.
And welcome to the both of you!

And welcome to the both of you! Okie Dokie, thanks madfueler. Apparently it is locked as I've changed the brand name about 6 or 7 times and it keeps reverting back to Shell station.

I had one of the stations that I post prices at change from a Shell to a Sunoco station. I went to the MSL and did a name change and updated the station info. It still shows up as a Shell station. Just wondering how long it takes GB to accept the new station brand? I experienced the same problem for a station I attempted to update in December. I sent GasBuddy the following message: The station located at 3611 West Outer Road in Arnold, Missouri rebranded from Phillips 66 U-Gas to Mobil On The Run in October 2017. I have attempted to make the change on the Master Station List several times and the Master Station List will not accept the change. GasBuddy Support then replied with the following message: Your request 241023 has been received, and is being reviewed by our support staff. Please note: we are experiencing very high traffic and feedback volumes, causing delay in response times and slower loading times. We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience. I didn't receive a follow up message from GasBuddy Support. After a couple of weeks, I submitted a new station entry for the Mobil brand, while the original station entry remained Phillips 66. For several weeks, some persons were posting the station as Mobil, while others as Phillips 66. GasBuddy Support finally made the necessary updates and I was able to rebrand the original entry to Mobil, and delete the duplicate entry that I made in December.
