lol says the guy who still owes me a refund
This is not the place for petty **** flinging at someone who has no part in the GB in question.
of course, let's keep the **** flinging in this thread pointed at ivan, right? just too ironic not to have a laugh
sorry for OT
Well the situations are completely different, Ivan fo'd with tens of thousands of dollars, bill delivered his gb and is finishing it off now. In fact it's kind of selfish to use a platform where hundreds of people have lost money to complain that a successful gb runner, who's gb is still going, has yet to refund you.
alright, i'll try and bring this back from the brink..
what is the protocol on refunds, then? how about asking for updates on a group buy status? I have seen many people shouted down and chastised for making too much noise about their concerns. just have a peek at the hyperfuse thread for countless examples. All credit to Cody and Bun on what they do - they are great at resolving those isseues, but here we have the other side of the coin. Plenty of people here got nervous or upset on lack of communication. The common response was to just "chill" Granted, we still dont know what happened, but those people could be SOL.
I think there needs to be a real change in how things are run, and how they are moderated. like i said before, i think GB organizers should be vetted, and there should be some milestone requirements for posting info. Some authority should moderate the entire process, and the money should go into escrow or some regulated third party. Reducing the number of GB a person can run simultaneously is also a good idea
