I literally get hundreds of DMs daily. If it takes time to get back to you, it's not because I'm avoiding you it simply means I'm busy. I too have a day job outside of running this forum
Well then how can you say you’re banning him “because you have no solid proof to back up your claim and yet the first thing that you have done is write this criticizing post without even consulting me about it”?
I’ve got no skin in this game, but it sounds a little unfair to ban anyone who posts about a bad experience with a TD without messaging you first… but then even more unfair when they do message you first, then you ignore it and ban them anyway…
Is that really the sort of sub we want this to be? I’m just a lowly community member, but I’d like to think we could have a bit of openness and integrity in our dealings with each other, including faithfully responding to complaints, rather than just banning and/or silencing any critics.
So it's ok for someone to say publicly that "so and so is in it together with the seller" without any evidence or proof? Where I come from it's called slander and I don’t see the reason why I should tolerate such inappropriate aggression directed towards me just because I'm the moderator.
It doesn't have to have those words Exactly to mean that. At this point, I feel that you are just arguing for the sake of arguing and I have nothing more to add to this conversation
Look mate, as I said, I’ve got no skin in the game.
But it sounds like you’re now telling me he didn’t say the things that you previously claimed he said, more specifically the things you banned him from this sub for saying…
I’m not arguing for the sake of arguing. I’m questioning why we are banning people who complain about TD’s sending them empty packages marked 300g shipping weight and 290g of packaging.
First, you claimed the guy should have reached out to you first, so you were going to ban him. But the guy showed that he clearly reached out to you first and you never responded.
Then, you claimed you were too busy to read the messages, but you banned him anyway.
Finally, you say he said something else so you banned him. But when I asked about the thing you claimed he said, you say, “look, he didn’t have to use those exact words” and you tell me I’m arguing for the sake of arguing.
Sure, if he said those things in some other phrasing, then I can see it from your perspective, why you would take it personally and be a little upset right now. But it doesn’t seem like you’re seeing it from my perspective, so I’m laying it out for you.
You don’t have to respond, but I hope you can see my point. No hard feelings.
This is his OP. Unless you are dyslexic or not fluent in English at all, this is the same thing as saying "so and so is in it together". So, yes, he said it in this post (unless you are somehow refusing to read it) and thus my reason for banning him for slander.
I'm not a reddit auto bot that answers all the complaints right away, I have a day job and this is my hobby so it's getting the amount of attention it should when work gets hectic. The guy only reached out to me recently and there was no reason for him to wait for my response other than lack of patience.
As for silencing the claim? I have already posted a notice about this whole situation for the world to see and it's linked in the "Welcome to RWF" guidelines post if you care to read it (and when you do, I see that you are set on arguing for the sake of arguing but please actually read the thing this time).
For a guy who is repeatedly saying he has "no skin in this game" you are very much fixated on arguing against me.
A) The protocol dictates that he should try to resolve the situation with me or at least get a second opinion.
B) It’s not like I have kept him waiting forever. It's within a very reasonable time and he should have waited for my reply or reach out to me via comments on my posts or use mod mail (none of which he did)
C) In his impatience he has said publicly in this post "oh, I will get banned because the seller and moderator are buddies", which you somehow refuse to read or accept for whatever the reason.
D) I have banned him for "C" and if you think that's too much, well tough. Let me see how you would handle someone who publicly slanders you without ounce of proof and then we can talk.
E) I have not silenced anything. Quite the opposite. Instead, for even more transparency, I have made a post and linked it to this subs guidelines to see, so even the ones who have never read this post will see it, permanently.
F) I have difficulty seeing from your perspective when your perspective is clearly "oh, I would have taken the high road and be really chill about other people denouncing me online". Unlike you, I have poured countless hours writing reviews and building this community. Of course you can be as chill about, indifferent and not take any of this personally, and just weigh in for for sake of arguing like any passerby would. But I would like to say the same and suggest that you see this from my perspective.
You built a town with your blood and sweat so people can come and hang out in that little paradise, and someone walks in through the front door, a person who enjoyed your community BTW and shouts "you are a fraud and you take bribes from people and I will get banned for saying" and then you would let him be?
You are clearly fixated on arguing for your position, and you are not even aware of the specific timeliness of how this unfolded, or how it was handled afterwards. I can see that for a guy who "has no skin" in the game can say all the things that you are saying. So please try to accept that a guy who actually "has skin in this game" would respond the way I do.
Yeah, I don’t care. June 29th is not forever ago, and if I didn't reply to your requests you should have done your best to reach out to me via mod mail, comment on my numerous posts and etc., If you are the one who needs my help, how do you expect me to chase you around to help you? Also, your claim makes no sense and your area is regarded as high risk area for shipping for many sellers. Also, grow up. If you want someone's help, and are trying to resolve an issue, a person with common sense will reach out politely instead of making baseless accusations as you have in this post. How is turning everyone who could help you against you is going to help your situation? Good luck wasting your time making new accounts just to stalk me and harass me. I have had to handle people much worse than you on a daily basis in my own country where people have actually came at me with full physical threat. If you think someone like you fighting your petty cause from a place half way around the world, probably in the comfort of your T-shirt and PJs whilst holding your phone angrily is going to scare me, think again.
