Ok well this is my first time having to go to the rumor mill, And not even for a purchase, Let me explain to you all what happened.
Well first of all muskabuzz held a competition and a poll to see who could come up with the best idea to kill spam, The winner would be awarded a half oz of their prized fleetwood OG. Which i have only heard amazing things about so naturally i entered. First of all it was just a thread without the poll, Then after the ideas were in Muska made a new thread WITH the poll and let people vote on the ideas.
Anyway after around 3 weeks or so, I won the poll by quite a few votes and messaged muska to ask what had happened to my prize and how long it would be before the final votes were in as the competition had not been officially closed but nobody was any longer getting involved.
After some waiting i received an email telling me that i would not be getting my bounty as the poll was widely ignored, Which was right in the aspect to the whole of the SR community, But not in the sense of there were quite a good few hundred posts etc in the thread. (let it also be noted that there were no Restrictions on who could win it, Or any requirements such as minimum 10 votes or 5000 views for instance.
Muska said he/they were going to do it again after SR was back online properly, I was unhappy about this and offered to even take a smaller amount than the Half oz just so i could get to try this bud i had wanted to try for so long. never received any responses from muska after the message telling me i was getting nothing. So i was very disappointed.
Then out of the blue, I saw a thread saying muska was awarding it to the admins. No poll nothing. I commented and asked muska to explain this and received no reply. Called him out and received no reply. Didn't get any offer of a smaller percentage of the original offer even though i did win. I realize it's their right to choose who to give it to but i see no logical explanation on why you would hold a poll then just decide to ignore it.
In my opinion the vendor cant be trusted. They are choosing not to even reply to me because they have so many customers they dont care if one or two are not happy. Disgraceful if a new vendor did this their reputation would be completely tarnished. Just for the record as well im not some idiot who just wants free weed. I would buy oz's on the regular if i liked the weed and told muska he could hold me to that if im holding him to the poll , still no reply.
here's the link. http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=156712.15
If you win something, You expect to get the prize or at least a portion, Or even less a detailed apology letter and maybe a sample, which is the main reason i entered. To try and find out if muska would be my new supplier. I guess not.
Thanks for reading all and beware.
P.s. Muska again feel free to comment and defend your name. Dont think you will though.

This is a bit ridiculous, HeatFireFlame; your thread title is incredibly misleading as you have no idea what muskabuzz is like as a vendor, admitting as much yourself in other threads, and indeed stating that this particular thread is not even about a purchase.
I think it would be prudent to edit the title to reflect the facts of the situation lest you begin to develop a bad reputation on the forums yourself. :-\
I understand where you're coming from in your post above, but you are essentially whinging about not receiving free bud. This has nothing to do with muskabuzz as a vendor. Nothing at all.
All of this over something intended as a goodwill gesture to the community - an awful shame.

Ok libertas what should i rename it ?
Im not whining about not receiving free bud, Im complaining about the vendor not sticking to his agreement, And the fact that he cant even give me a detailed response to explain it.(not over the "free bud" I did cover this in my thread above and in a message to him. I dont want the half oz because it's obvious he isn't going to stick to the agreement anyway i just want to try it So that i could BUY more oz's from him in the future. and now i want to let everyone know that in my opinion i dont find him trustworthy.
I think i covered most of the facts within the post, and since he is not even responding at all i think there is no reason i would develop a bad reputation. I did state it's not a purchase as you said , But i think anybody who does this type of thing and then ignores you is a terrible vendor so in a sense i feel i do know him in some way.
No offense but i do not think he should be hiding behind the fact that this was a good will gesture originally. Not at all.
I hope you understand

I've dealt with MuskaBuzz a few times and have received nothing but the best service and product.
I can't comment on this whole poll debacle, but I can vouch for Muska as a great vendor.
Q

I stopped giving out prizes and dealing with lotteries due to situations like this. Near the end I always had a problem.
Here's my advice:
Spend the ~$200 to get some weed if you feel like smoking.
I've cut off two customers who entered my competitions under false pretenses, and if I had a user bugging me over something I had made clear they aren't getting I would tell them to fuck off or ignore them.
Deal with it lol. Posting a thread is just going to make you seem like a baby.

Have you tried showing him your penis? Its gotten me free THC before.

Of course. The vendor obviously didn't get your penis photo. It's standard procedure for giving away products. I recommend sending him your photo ASAP and apologize for ignoring protocol and I bet he'll open up to you.

I found it a bit odd he awarded the "prize" to the mods - knowing that it is highly unlikely they would willingly give their address to a vendor (I'm sure the mods partake on here, but highly doubt they do it with the vendor knowing who they are.
I think MuskaBuzz had good intentions with the prize, but didn't really see anything of value come from any of the members, thus awarding it to the Mods because they actually did work hard to reduce the amount of spam.
Sorry you didn't get your bud, but do you really think you did enough to warrant 1/2 an oz? (I didn't even bother to look into your contributions - maybe you did something amazing that reduced the amount of spam here - the only people I see reducing spam are the mods).

If someone was wanting a solution to spam... the answer is mods. If weed went to a mod then there's your answer.

No doubt that the mods do great work, I am always mentioning it. Also i would like to add to this that I am not moaning or groaning here, I dont know if it was enough to warrant a half oz, however that was the deal he made not me and i was just pissed he never stuck to the deal or explained it to me. As i said in the Op i offered to even just get a sample of his bud because i really only wanted to try the bud so i could buy oz's at a time from him.

Look mate i know you think im some loser who is ragging on muska but here' the real situation. I didn't enter it under any false pretences mate. Muska never told me to fuck off in anyway, Dont think i just opened this thread, this was a last resort after, commenting on the pole, a pm to him, and then a comment on the other thread, both with weeks and days apart. Not even a response to let me know what was happening.
im in no way a baby. I dont see why it isn't apparent that e never stuck to the agreement. I didn't start demanding free shit, I only asked for what i was told i would get if my idea got the most votes, which it did. So i dont understand why i am being criticized. I have been only fair when asking and even offered to take a fraction of the bounty. NOT ONLY THAT but he hasn't explained anything to me , this is the most confusing.
This thread is only to let people know what happened not a debate on whether or not his vending skills are decent or not. and i would appreciate not letting it go further than that.
i dont even want his bud anymore being honest, I want an explanation only. and would have appreciated one before he gave it to somebody else. And im not ragging on the mods i always am saying how great they are and how much i appreciate them. I am really not the bad guy here.

Going to get a mod to lock the thread as it looks like it's going to cause more trouble than i intended, i just wanted to let everyone know so my point's made anyway, no need to drag this on longer than needed.
