byker: I'll be the first surprised if berserkfan suddently comes out of the woodwork, apologizes and refunds people their money. No need to ban him; indeed, there's little advantage doing so, the issue I think rootwyrm raises is a bit broader than that.
I haven't been here for long enough to know all the stories, nor do I follow GBs closely. However, I can think of at least one vendor subforum that has had zero communication along with multi-year delays in delivering high value paid-for items, and yet, all the "business as usual" threads are pinned, while the one warning about the entire situation isn't.
Known problem posters from other similar venues should be kept under close surveillance as well.
Those are two things the moderator team can and should do something about.

Darkshado
Thanks for your work. You put a lot into it and helped people out.
I went to the Post Office one last time today to see whether I had a box sitting in the back room, but still no luck.
Although I have tried to give Gutz the benefit of the doubt all along, I pretty much need to let myself realize that he totally ripped me off, like so many other people.
If you are reading this from your new user account - I am deeply disappointed, I thought that you were an honorable man.
14 weeks today and I have officially given up and accepted that Gutz just totally stole my money and ripped me off.
TP has kept talking about Paypal and Rootwyrm and how I might have gotten a package later if the **** had not hit the fan, but we all know that the entire motivation behind the project was supposedly to get all the volume out of the door immediately before a move. So whatever would have been shipped was certain to be in a box and out the door by early May. The idea that he would cart the stuff to the new house and ship it from there is ludicrous.
I tried to defend him and keep a positive attitude all along, which makes me even more hurt and disappointed now.
My real regret is that I did what he asked and paid via moneygram via cash, so I have no recourse whatsoever.

I've often wondered whether I would have been less disappointed to have received nothing, rather than the crap I did get.
UPDATE AND QUESTIONS:
I recieved my PLU-87 TKL a few weeks ago in a separate package. confusing. This can be crossed off the "not recieved list".
I also have sent the package I recieved along to its riightful owner.
Have any F122s surfaced?
Have all the f50s surfaced?
I am 300$ into this ****. If anyone finds the ansi modded f122, I would love it. Being a 17 year old with no formal job other than selling on ebay and freelance computer repair, 300$ is not a small sum for me. If ANYONE finds any of my stuff, please shoot me a pm. I will be happy to pay shipping.
I paid via WU, I got in after he stopped accepting paypal.UPDATE AND QUESTIONS:

Which is why an Impartial-Party such as myself is important as record keeper..
This event is now fundamentally over.. What's done is done
Which is why it's been important that we analyze the facts..
Where things went wrong..
Most importantly, the proper forum/ community response to the situation..
In every buy/ sale, things can go wrong.. In this case, negligent shipping on part of Berserkfan..
So, from what happened here, where --Rootwyrm, Sky, Chuckdee--'s Witch-hunting pushed away the only person Capable of the package recovery efforts,
The important take-away is that attitudes have to be amicable, and Not so Coercive like that employeed by --Rootwyrm--
as for , whether Berserk will come back to give you guys closure, that is very unlikely, he's done everything at this point to cut ties with Geekhack, this much I know to be true..
And, realistically, Even if he does come back to say, Hey yea, --Rootwyrm's-- messed it up, he's a liar..
The only thing that'd happen, is someone from --Rootwyrm's-- camp would point the fingers right back..
Which is why an Impartial-Party such as myself is important as record keeper..
I really don't have any emotions towards either camp.. While I chuckle that --Rootwyrm Sky-- shot themselves in the foot by pushing away Berserkfan..
I mean, now they've learned a lesson. don't be ****s.. haha.. Berserk was really trying to work things out..
There's no payoff on part of Berserkfan to Tp4 to say these things.. and Tp4 is laying out the proper progress of events merely to insure FUTURE disaster response is done more properly..
as for Fohat.dig.. hahahahaha..

Thanks for Bumping the Facts. It is the mostunbiased andcorrect record of the Berserk fan shipping debacle.
The complete lack of response from the moderation team
The complete lack of response from the moderation team - as usual - is exactly why neither Skysophrenic and I are interested or willing to help any more than we have already, and regret doing what we have.
The moderation team has been completely unsupportive throughout the process, and has basically told everyone "welp you already got ****ed, we made a pointless token gesture. Sucks to be you, we don't care, and we're going to encourage the trolls." Any claims to the contrary by them are as credible as claims the pyramids were grain silos. All they do is blame the victims and sit around making excuses for not doing anything.
Don't come crying to us when this happens again. Because it's guaranteed it will. They won't even address scamming vendors. Only an idiot would do business here.

TOS
Buying/Selling/Trading - Buying, trading, or selling anywhere with the exception of the Marketplace is prohibited. We ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for any loss due to any sale or exchange of any item in the Marketplace.
TOS is pretty clear i dont know what you expect from the mods. Oh and no one is going to come crying to you in the future, why would they?
That said of course sales will get ****ed in the future its just the nature of selling/buying/trading with people you don't know from a bar of soap over a forum where members interst in maintaining a good reputation rise and fall if they lose interst.
Cant take the risk? Dont use the classifieds in the first place, stick to buying from companies and use the proper payment methods via paypal etc (prob not gon though).
That said, you can still get screwed buying from a proper company, its just life. It comes with risk especially when money is involved.
Well, that's a harsh speech.. Certainly Berserkfan should not have been so negligent during the shipping phase, but what --Rootwyrm-- did truly made recovery efforts impossible.
Oh and also anyone who has been on here for longer than breakfast knows there is no point arguing with tp, he litterally jacks it as he compiles one of his random responses. He sprays is ergodox with jizz as he reads your responses to his ramen fueled message board off topic sieges. You wont win, even if your right you just eont. it is just a waste of time.

That's a Serious accusation.. fanpeople.. I may have to start an angry thread to deny it..
I'd also like to point out that it's NOT my intention to start Firestorm, but when a Wholesome Geekhack member was subject to slander. Tp4 shall intervene.

Shipping is an integral part of a sale.
If you sell something to someone, you'd be expected to ship it to them.

Chinese made lasered mint green PBT keycaps, 1 set, new, $5. (alphas only)
Raindrop blue on white random grab bag, new, at least 20 keycaps. Free (thank you)
$8 shipping fee
Total $41
I did get 2/4 items so, yeah. really wanted those Cyan on White though.
I am relieved to know that he did actually send me something.

What could the moderation team do about this muck jump?
However, the moderation team has made it clear their intent is to encourage a hostile, divisive, scammer friendly site. They could not possibly care less about the community, especially those who got scammed - that is the absolute fact proven by their encouragement of harassment and blaming of victims.
Nonsensical drivel
More drivel
///Seriously, Moderation Team..
Tp4 is not unreasonable.. And There is a very clear purpose that Tp4 must keep Berserkfan's Flame alive.
Because user --Rootwyrm-- and his Goons, continue to Bend the Truth of this unfortunate series of events..
Every time that troll comes in here and lies.. It damages the integrity of Geekhack..
Berserkfan's TRUTH:
Guilty of Negligence
Innocent of Scam
Here's truth:
Not one person got 100% of what they ordered. Not 1.
Just drop it tp4. You have no monetary investment in this situation, and for the past few weeks you have been doing nothing but stirring the pot and victim blaming.///Seriously, Moderation Team..

But it does not change the fact that what --Rootwyrm-- did AFTER the fact was detrimental to recovery efforts.
