Newbie discussion / Re: Order Cancelled By Vendor, But Not Given Full Refund
« on: February 01, 2013, 05:26 am »
It's because the vendor has things set for escrow hedging .... it costs a fee, so the fee is why you didn't receive 100% back.

Newbie discussion / Re: can vendors skip the 50 post limit

If you have 35+ transactions and a link to your vendor profile in your forum signature, then you can message inigo and request access to the vendor forum.

Either way, there is nothing they can / will do to you.  Buying bitcoins is completely legal and the teller has no way of knowing where they will be spent.

What?  They shouldn't care -- bitcoins are legal and can be used for plenty of legal things.  Both of the companies you mentioned refer to bitcoins in their name ... so I don't think it has anything to do with the manager warning the teller to look out for this account.  Especially if it was spendbitcoins.

Rumor mill / Re: Did etizolam just try to scam me?
« on: February 01, 2013, 04:14 am »
Sometimes it just takes several people reporting the vendor to get SR Support to ban the scammer.  Eventually they get around to it, but they seem to do so more quickly when multiple reports are coming in.

How can we prevent it?  There are already threads discussing how he has been a selective scammer!  We are just forum moderators - we aren't staff members, so we don't have the ability to prevent scammers from scamming on SR.  For that, you need to get in touch with SR Support over on SR - they are the ONLY ones who can do something to address his behavior.

??? If he was gonna lower the price on bulk, then why is that a limited time offer? Are sellers allowed to ask me to send bitcoins directly to them...? I never buy out of escrow and thought that maybe I should let you guys know. I'm definitely not saying he's a scammer, I've never bought from him before.

No, sellers should not be asking people to send them btc directly.  This effectively defeats the purpose of escrow and if he did scam you, SR Support wouldn't offer support.  Always stay in escrow!

If you don't want to moderate don't volunteer for the job, these forums are controversial at the best of times so you should know what you are getting yourself into before accepting the job

I don't have a problem with the forums being controversial.  DPR has instructed us not to delete threads/posts unless they are spam or scams.  I knew what I was getting into, but the number of moderators went from 4 to 2, so I'm explaining why there are times when the spam builds up.  And I said I was grateful for this opportunity - but that it requires a lot of time.  I don't mind the time it takes, but it does bug me when people act as though we should be here 24 hours a day.

Just be careful and make sure you research a vendor before buying from them.

I'm sure that eventually, DPR will appoint more mods to help, but it's difficult for him to determine who will or won't go rogue.

*Raz enters the room, looks around half amused, and coughs politely, quietly thinking....... yeah, that's the kind of attitude that has people thinking real phucking hard about putting their hand up to help out either modding or spam-busting...... thanks for the laugh* ::)

???  I don't think I was being discouraging in that statement.
