Were you ripped off by Painter6479??

Take heed, folks.
Change has come around:

I PMed Linrandir and received a response (apparently, the pigeon I sent made it TO his island AND back)!

You can quote me on this:

After repeated attempts to contact Painter6479, and after repeatedly Not hearing from him, I have decided that there will be some changes made to the way Bartertown handles its advertising. First, foremost, and directly relevant, Painter6479 has proven himself to be Persona Non Grata on Bartertown. That means he is no longer welcome here; eg Banned. Go, post your Bad Trader Reports if you can adhere to the appropriate rules. File charges if you feel it necessary. His brand of wankery won't be tolerated here anymore.

Can we start posting BTR's on this TOOL yet?

Thanks.

Eric

Have at him, folks!

So what exactly did this guy do?

[SiLeNtSpRinG]

Yeah, I'm kinda curious about what happened too.

If someone wanted to explain, that'd be cool.

It's easier to let you read for yourself than to go into great lengths:

viewtopic.php?t=63340

That should be enough to give you an idea.

Take note that it was rampant enough that Lin decided to alter the rules for him (Previously, you could not post a BTR on an advertiser unless the transaction was conducted as a trade through Bartertown).

Do we get to start setting up a BTR on this guy? or how do we go about this "enlightening" process?

Yep. Per Lin's PM above, it's OPEN SEASON.

I have a thread on him in, either, this forum or the Questions? forum that has as much detail as I have on him or can find.

Additionally, a couple of us are working on another little surprise that I WILL NOT divulge until I know more. Let's just say it's BAD for him and good for everyone else.

Okay, my situation with 6479 (if anyone's still reading this) just got a whole lot wierder. With no communication still through e-mail (prior to or since), I received today a box containing 2 of the 4 Carnifexes, the Hive Tyrant, and 7 of the 12 Genestealers I sent him to start my army project. All were nicely painted and converted, and there was a message from him typed out, as if everything was going according to plan.

This came after close to, or more likely over, 2 months of no e-mails, no communication of any sort. And my first thought when opening the box was: WTF? Like I said, there was no e-mail prior to this box arriving and there's been no e-mail since. I don't know what the hell is going on now, but I'm still short the money I sent him to start this project, 2 Carnifexes, and 5 Genestealers.

I'm reading it every time there's a post to it.
Do NOT let this go past. FILE YOUR COMPLAINTS. God knows when you will get anything else back.
