In for post #3455!
1. Useless posts. Do not bother making posts with only one or two words (e.g., "cool" or LOL) or a smilie, or post simply to have the first reply in a thread. Such posts waste everyone's time and will be deleted. Posts saying "I agree", "+1", "this", "me too", or the equivalent are also routinely removed, so don't post them. If you aren't interested in a thread, skip the thread; don't post to tell us you aren't interested.
2. Spam and overposting. Not just being a prolific poster, but posting the same exact post many times, posting multiple pointless posts in the same thread, making numerous posts with no real content, or posting for the purpose of gaining a higher post count.
Speaking of rules, Good job that was four words (not two) though your post is still useless. As far as point #2, how many times do you just reply with your "GLWIC" post? How many of your posts are identical. How does "In for post #3455!" contribute towards the main goal of the forum: to discuss computer input devices? When I have something off topic to say (like now) I try to make sure I have something helpful to contribute as well. Why don't you just make a topic in your subforum where you can post all your gripes with SP and interest checks, and Group Buys, and just post there when you have an issue?
Ripster: you're good with money, and in the US, right? I don't know who here trusts you, but if you want your fixed keys, why not organize the payment and money collection yourself? Griping about error keys constantly doesn't help, but you're in a position to do some good. It would also further your own goals.

As far as round4 goes, I sort of feel like if we can get a few things sorted out, then we can get collection, payment, and distribution on the road. I propose we come up with a roadmap of sorts, where we list in one place all the steps between where we are now, and when we get our keys, then people can figure out which ones (if any) they can help with, and we'd get this rolling in an organized fashion. For example:
1. we need someone to collect the money from GH/DT
2. need to pay SP
3. Need to tell SP what we ordered
4. Need to figure out who has fixed R3 keys at SP,, and keep track of that
5. Someone to receive keys from SP, and send out a box to the europe distributor
6. Distribute within US/europe
7. Handle any corrections/errors/mistakes/refunds that arise.
I don't know what else to add, or how to flesh it out, or even if it's the right process (I've never dealt directly with SP), but I think having a list of what steps are necessary to pull this off, is good. Then matching people to steps can take place, then everyone will be happy.
Let's get open & organized!
