California Passes First-Ever Bill to Define Sexual Consent on College Campuseshttp://time.com/3211938/campus-sexual-assault-consent-california/<< The California Senate passed a first-in-the-nation bill Thursday to define what amounts to consensual sexual activity in colleges in the state, a milestone at a time when colleges across the country are under close scrutiny for how they handle campus sexual assault. (...) Those who oppose the bill are concerned that such a policy, combined with unavoidably murky sexual encounters, will deny college men due process and unfairly categorize them as rapists, causing potentially unfair suspensions and expulsions or reputational damage. >>

I made 3 Galaxycoin withdrawals to Cryptsy from a pool (a regular pool, not P2P) on 4 June 2014 - one of 18.3970380026457 GLX and 2 of 42.3061780024682 GLX each. The deposits showed almost immediately as pending on Cryptsy, and after a few days all three were showing thousands of confirmations - but they were never credited to my balance.
On 11 June 2014, I opened a support ticket (#141104) and someone promptly responded saying they were going to look into it. By then all three deposits already had over 25K confirmations each - and that according to Cryptsy's own system. Then support asked me for the transaction ID's. I was rather puzzled by that - the deposits hadn't disappeared but rather WERE SHOWING on the exchange with over 25K confirmations each, so what the hell would they need txid's for, since the exchange's wallet had already recognized the deposits?
Then nothing happened for a LONG time, till on 12 July 2014 I finally received a message from a support staff member named Mark claiming "the problem had been solved" and telling me to contact them should I have any more problems. I logged on to Cryptsy to check and guess what - not only the deposits weren't showing as pending anymore, but they hadn't been credited to my balance either. I replied to the message saying nothing had been solved and even the pending deposits had disappeared but received no answer.
And that's basically it: no more replies from Cryptsy's support staff since 12 July 2014, despite my various ticket updates requesting that the issue be resolved definitely. It's now over 2 months since I've deposited the coins and the support team seems to be ignoring my messages.
I'm a fully verified member and I had even started referring Cryptsy to other people (already have 2 referrals). Now all I can say is that I'm really disappointed by this lack of respect for me as a user. And that's precisely the point, not the actual value of the coins (which is minimal). In my understanding, business should be conducted with ethics before all - it doesn't matter if a transaction is worth a thousand BTC or 1 satoshi, it should receive the same treatment as any other transaction. Now seriously, should I really need to have to come to these forums to post about this issue in the hope of having it resolved because the exchange's support decided to ignore me? That's as disrespectful as it's unethical, and Crypsty should be ashamed of their behavior.

 Dystopian reality: GameStop now taking your fingerprints before you can trade in used gameshttp://www.extremetech.com/extreme/187403-dystopian-reality-gamestop-now-taking-your-fingerprints-before-you-can-trade-in-used-games<< If you plan on trading in used games at GameStop stores in Philadelphia, be prepared to be treated like a criminal. Stores in the city of brotherly love are now requiring fingerprint scans of everyone trading in their used games. Even worse, the GameStop Corporation apparently implemented these outlandish anti-theft measures voluntarily. It's official: we're now living in the dystopian future dreamed of in 20th century sci-fi novels. >> |
