Daniel0 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 What do you propose we add? I'm sorry that you got scammed, but we cannot check every single individual who posts in there. It's merely there to act as a channel of communication between prospect developers and clients. We used to have a disclaimer in there stating this, but it got lost during an upgrade. I can post a sticky topic in there outlining this, but that's unfortunately the only thing we are able to do.

revraz Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 And on the other hand, what if he says you didn't do it right or took too long? So you would report him as not paying and he would report you as not doing the work.. never ending cycle.

.josh Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 there there no way of knowing that what i say isnt true, therefore you cannot delete the post where i point him out as being a slacker <snip> Wrong. You are not allowed to go around harassing people on the board. If you have a problem with him, that's between you and him.

ricmetal Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 harassing? he didnt pay me, im singling him out, and you call it harassing? 1. if there is anything wrong with the job i did, he could tell me straight away, and id change it, but he simply got the work and hasnt showed up, when he explicitly said "ill shot the payment to you in a few minutes". that was 3 days ago im sorry, if i cant show my discontent! IF he did pay me and im saying that he didnt, you would hear an answer from him if my post stayed on, instead of getting deleted, BUT if you remove my post saying he didnt pay me, nobody knows, AND he will never post a reply saying that he paid me. EDIT: which by the way, is a lie SO, he goes clean theres a difference between not being able to do anything and doing the oposite.............................................

ricmetal Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 can u check the forum dbs for my pm messages received? youll see the last one he sent me...and the last one i sent to him. PLUS, read the messages and see how he was going to pay through paypal. i can post a printscreen of my paypal account where it says, LAST TRANSACTION. other than this theres nothing to be done, understand that. just deleting my posts where i say he scammed me it like the tip of the iceberg.

ricmetal Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 well, i still think there should be a way to make these incidents public not staying under the cloth whereas the member might do the same thing again such as letting his name be shown near my discontent thread Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/134268-add-something-to-the-freelance-board/#findComment-699075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 So what if some random dude claims you did sub-par work for them, but they paid anyways, but warns people never to hire you?

ricmetal Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 i wouldnt like the thread but i could defend myself by saying that i offered to do a better job if the post stayed up and everyone saw it if the post got removed i could be like him and not give a rats ass and continue doing shitty jobs for other people. ..... so who are you really benefiting by removing finger pointings? the scammer or the scammie? edit fyi: the scammer, cause his name isnt dirty Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/134268-add-something-to-the-freelance-board/#findComment-699090 Share on other sites More sharing options...

corbin Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 (Hrmmm, I'm gonna post because this is an interesting topic to me, and I have nothing better to do at 12:46AM. Wooo nosiness!) I could easily say what ever I want about you. You could easily say what ever I want about me. The world doesn't work like that. People (in this context, meaning the people who run this board) require concrete proof. You can't just say what ever you want. PMs and a print screen prove nothing. Absolutely nothing. At all. I can understand your anger about being screwed over, since it's human nature to want revenge when something like that happens, but you have to understand the mods' argument too. Unless you have solid, irrefutable, proof, it would be wrong of them to let you [potentially] lie about someone. Bottom line, if mods allowed people to post things about other people without proof, it would be chaos, and people would flame back and forth all day. Now, if you actually had some kind of proof (which would be improbably, and possibly impossible), then I don't know what the mods would say. But you don't, so that case doesn't matter. Wonder how long it will be until this gets locked....
