Fake BroCaps Discussion

[HoffmanMyster]

CF himself is the only one who should be looking into this, not you, since it's his business and his sales won't be affected.

1. How could you ever know this?
2. That still wouldn't make it okay.

As a matter of fact, he should thank K3 because now more people is looking into a real CC - free marketing.

He has enough free marketing from his supporters and doesn't need any more.  His sales are already hugely popular.

I won't respond to the rest of your post directly, because you already know how childish it is to attack Bunny for doing the community a favour and taking over a group buy.  Totally uncalled for, not to mention irrelevant.

[epzy]

So copying is okay as long as it's not your design?  You get pissed off because someone does a similar colorway, but are in favor of people blatantly ripping off others' designs and marketing them as "originals"?  I think it would be funny if SP decided to tell you to **** off and didn't respect your wishes to only have 1 round of pulse.

good man, i only hope more people feel the same

Hey Bunny, I thought you were dead.

But seriously, why are you wasting time here?

You've got a lot of work to do, like going to your local post office in order to conclude Penumbra shipping.

That's taking a little bit too long.

Thanks for the image, I'll upload it asap.

Who do you think you are?

I propose we form a small group of members, dedicated to protecting the membership at large, who could review the accounts of people such as the ones you describe, and vote or come to a consensus on whether they should be allowed to continue posting here as members of our community. We would need some way to bring these accounts to the attention of that group, though.

That's a great idea JD.

lets start a subreddit to vest membership into GH!

[SpAmRaY]

as a comnunity we should decide if we want people like mito to continue posting here. the blatant disrespect shown towards two of our members is incredible.

So instead of 'bards' we need 'bouncers'. Let's do this.

This k3kc guy or whatever is even worse than pacifist.
At least he didn't make exact clones of others' work
I though r/Mk was bad but I didn't think it was actually something this shameful.  Never have I sewn an enthusiast community that supported counterfeit products of their own bros' work 

[MiTo]

My job on this thread was to defend myself from the nubbinator's accusations.

I did a little bit more than that already, so it's time for me to go.

I'm on the Cospar thread - peace guys.

EDIT: Actually, let me clarify something. What I meant when I said that I support K3 is that I gave him suggestions to come up with his own stuff, nothing else. I clearly stated "Hack Orange, Mint Gum and PuLSE blue skulls" on the Reddit comment as a theme. The image is there for all of you that want to double check it, if you don't believe me. I didn't buy his stuff or promoted it in any sort of way. Some of you love to throw a few rocks at me, specially when I'm not looking. But I can take it, cause there are a lot of nice and supportive people in this amazing community of "yours" that worths my efforts.

We call those people "Moderators," actually

I ****ed up and jumped the gun and now everyone thinks I'm a huge idiot (you're not entirely wrong either, but it's still annoying)

Everything should sort itself out in time. Or it won't, and crazy **** will go down.

Things are definitely about to happen in a few places here. Prepare for a shift.



I'm not going hunting for anything anymore, too much work, too few results. It's on Bro and CC from here.

thats why i said subreddit!

[asdfjkl36]

I'm obviously nobody here on GH, or anywhere for that matter, so i never spoke up.

MiTo, i've seen you supporting this guy in making fake CCs and that's not right.

You're not buying them, sure, but that doesnt mean you're any better.

I was interested in the Pulse set but i lost interest after i noticed you were supporting people in purchasing the fakes. Not to mention misinformation (at least i think) stating that you tipped the GB in 2 days when i saw a week later it hadnt. But whatever. I have bad memory.

But i forgot you wanted a fake one, or at least showed you lack respect for CC or even BroCaps.



You always talk all the BS about "community" this, "community" that "our community". **** you. You're insulting people based off their writing and telling them they have Alzheimer, you support fake CCs and you don't actually give two ****s about anyone and just want someone to think you're being useful.

Like BunnyLake said, you just let everyone do the work for you on the Pulse set and you try and take all the credit, when you had almost absolutely no idea what you were even doing and had to have a never ending discussion in the IC thread and even the GB thread. You didnt even finalize any of the details and were still changing things when people were ordering. What are you in charge of exactly? You chose the colors, make a few pictures and boom, you should get all the credit? If anyone, jdcarpe should get credit since he seemed to always be there to help and hold your hand through it all.

I'm a complete idiot and cant retain any information I read, but even I can see that you're full of ****.

Nobody has to try and twist what you say or hide information to try and make you look like the bad guy. You do it to yourself whenever you open your mouth.

Dont think that anybody is with you. Stop saying people are joining you and start saying "us" when people dont give two ****s about you and just want a keyset they think it's nice. This is in fact a community, but by your actions, it doesnt seem like you want to be a part of it.

He would also suggest that we pay them lots of money and train them well.

And then call everyone that didn't like the idea vacant for not giving a better alternative idea to mercenary moderation.

I'm less worried for Brocaps though, becasue given how BC does his deals, you can pretty easily trace them back to the sauce.. and if you can't...

Hey bro, yeah, I never heard of you but that doesn't really matters.

Apparently I have a stalker and a fan that loves to see what I'm bringing to /r/MK.

That's awesome! You can continue if you want, bring the "downvote train" right?

That Alzheimer one was another joke, mate. But seriously I don't want to explain because it's going to be way too laborious.

If you lost interest on PuLSE, well, that's lame. Maybe next time.

Also, the GB tipped in 72 hours which is equal to three days but apparently you can't do basic math.

Yes I wanted a fake one, for $25 it's a steal. But I didn't think it was a good idea ordering one because you know, it's fake and it looks kinda bad.

Ordering one would be way too much.

About Bun.. (nevermind, I'm not wasting my time anymore with this crap), but I gave credit to JD on the PuLSE thread and personally put his name on the special "thank you" list. He was a huge part of that GB, with advice.

I did all the design and submitted it to PMK so yes, it was my work.

Nobody else's.

You want to criticize PuLSE GB? Because I had to adjust a few things (added deep dish keys midway) for cruise control?

Go ahead mate. It still sold 1700+ goods (yes, blanks accounted) so you can't bring it down, many people loved it.

I gotta go, too busy.

I just happen to be on there a lot when you talk, and most of it is pure stupidity, so you bring the "downvote train" to yourself. Not everything you post is downvoted, just most of it.

I'm sure it was a joke.

72 hours = 3 days which does not equal a week. But again, i'm the one who cant do basic math.

Buying a fake one is what you wanted. Nothing about it being that particular one, but the fact is that you would rather get a lower price, and not care of it's authenticity.

I can go pick a color scheme, submit it to PMK, but i wouldnt call it my work.

Again, i'm criticizing YOU on how it was ran, and how nobody likes YOU. People like the keyset, that's cool, but i dont care about you and it looks like i'm not the only one.

"too busy", yet still lurks around to see what is being said. I'm suppose to be the stalker here

Best thing to do is wait for things to be done through the proper legal channels.

In other words, don't do anything.

I don't think that's what he said. I think he was saying that his caps were marked with his mark, and in that way, they can't be confused with other counterfeits, or the original designs. In saying so, he's saying he's not trying to make direct counterfeits and fool people into thinking that they're the true item, but that he's making caps that are blatantly counterfeit and that can be seen as much by his mark.

Not that it makes any difference either way.

How is it that every time you type something all I hear in my head is the sound of someone throwing up? You must feel very insecure about yourself to constantly come here and attempt to stir people up. Or is that you're such a lame duck in every other way imaginable that this is the only way you can manage to get people's attention? You have no other redeemable traits and would be forgotten and overlooked like street trash so you come around here and make a whole bunch of noise so that you get a few seconds of attention while the grown ups tell you to go back to the **** hole you crawled out of.
