STAFF member xDeathwing is a SCAMMER!

[greyhawk]

IMO, accused should be unstaffed and get the untrustworthy tag. The situation is very much analogous to the Matt Wright case what with the "it was just a joke" defense and all and thus the taken measures should also be analogous.

Thank you for paying it back, this could be avoided if you just paid it back on the deadline.

But I wouldn't recommend you when handling money.

I agree with this. Untrustworthy tag for him.

[Deathwing]

You know what I find most interesting about this whole thing...

None of the people posting here are at any loss, sitnicki the one who is being "scammed" hasn't even posted here yet.
If sitnicki truly felt scammed by the situation would he not be over here making his case?

It just looks to me like a bunch of people trying to cause trouble over here.

would you like me to pm him and get him involved? The big fact is that a moderator did not keep his word and that is big since this is a very popular forum...

Sending him a pm is simply pushing him to come over and complain with the promise of bitcoins or helping demote/scamtag an admin

He will proactively seek the cause if  he feels it justified.


And seriously how can anyone expect to be paid $60 for 5 minutes work? Even $5 for 5 minutes is $60/hr whereas $60 for 5 minutes is $740/hr

Are you trying to say that xDeathwing has not misled anybody, just because you think his offer was unreasonable?

Payment to xento(aka fontas)

Because the information on the blockchain is a big secret... right? https://blockchain.info/tx/dea395e5f3d37bd2e39fcaaf5808c6ebc4e9ec54e55ace4e6644881e33cfd765

Hah, forgot that people can find on mine too, fontas does not want to reveal addresses.(Well idk, he didn't want to reveal a while ago.)

I don't know if i'll take a Scammer or Untrustworthy tag but for this subject, i don't know...
I paid 0.05 to both person as i said before so i don't see any problems.

[malevolent]

You not seeing any problems is the problem. Same with Matthew.

Next thing and he will start saying that he only wanted to "teach people a lesson"

This. Precisely.

Wow! Combining a TF troll with a MnW one is just too much for me not to give you a big thumb up (from a distance).

xDeathwing: you admited offering 0.5BTC for the video, before you edited the post.
The video was posted.
You owe 0.5BTC.
Period.

Wow... this looks great for the forum...

You gave me cancer sir, 98 activity 997 post, useless posts.

xDeathWing, atleast pay half of what you said... (0.2 More!)

[theymos]

He is no longer a moderator. I don't give out scammer tags anymore except in extraordinary cases. You can use the trust system.

How did this guy become staff anyway?  Was this Theymos's doing?

As I typically do for language sections, I chose him after consulting the community in question.

Just a little off-topic question... DO you know turkish or did you use translate.google.com?

I used translate.google.com. (If I knew Turkish, I'd moderate the section myself!)

Haha. Well kk. Wouldnt you think that it would only be fair if he paid 0.25 (1/2 of what he promised?)

I don't think that bounties are generally enforceable. In an informal bounty like this without specific language to the contrary, the bounty creator retains sole control over who receives the bounty, even if the community disagrees with him. So I don't think that xDeathwing is obligated to pay anything, though due to the confusion and small amount of money involved, he probably should pay 0.5.

I removed him as a moderator because this is all a bit shady, and his conduct in this thread leads me to believe that he is too reckless/careless to be a good moderator, not because I believe him to be guilty of scamming in this case.

Ok, well thank you for resolving this thread!

I am very impressed with your ability to read 997 posts as quickly as you did.  Speed Racer, go go go!

theymos, this is why you are awesome as a Mod.  I have done a bounty before and I ended up paying more than the initial bounty because I was pleased with the work that was presented, and I only pledged a bounty that was miniscule enough for me to not mind paying more than double than.  The fault with the Turkish mod is that he is not aware what the fault is at all... thank you for being you.

Thank you for taking action, theymos. Should I lock this thread?
