backstory please?
you're asking for alot. there's ALOT.
Brocaps is a keycap maker that explicitly says not to resell his caps for profit.
pacifist is a teenager or smth, gets into credit-related debt, and sells his brocaps publicly here for 3x markup or something like that.
he promises to leave the community once he sells them off.
BEFORE THAT
he was selling caps that duplicated other capmakers' designs and refused to stop when explicitly asked to. then he posts a 'costs of keycap making' thread as a passiveaggressive attempt to 'rally' geekhackers against other 'abusively profiteering capmakers'
BEFORE THAT
he would constantly 'cancel' his agreements to buy items in classifieds. i honestly don't know the details here but that behavior would bd annoying and unnecessary.
BEFORE THAT
he would post an obscene amount of 10-character posts in persumably an attempt to look like a respected elder member of the forums. this is spam. spam is annoying
needless to say, there is ALOT more details and i'm assuming stuff in PMs that I don't know about.
