Hi Guys

I would just like to say that Im more than a little disappointed with this kid.

I have approximately 30 PMs where he asked questions about building a laser and I patiently helped him over 2 weeks with advice. He repeated the same questions, and ones I had already answered, over and over. He also opened a thread on each topic he had discussed with me too..:confused:

After repeating myself many times and having to search through all my PM's to find my replies. I asked him to please reply to my answers so that everything would be in one place. He refused to do so and contined to send new PM's. I eventually got annoyed and said I would not answer any more PM's until he respected my wishes and replied to the PM's.

NOW I find out that he posted on my FS thread that I have bad customer service!!!

Edit: I did sell him a host with GITD

From what I can see in the notes there were no complaints and I did throw in a couple of things.

Sorry but Im really pissed about this. I really pride myself on my customer service and try hard to always send a quick answer to any and every question.:wtf:

In addition to this he opened another account to test and see if I would respond. He goes by the name of LaserKid14 and Laserking1.

This is not on and I hope this guy gets :banned:

If the mods wish I would be happy to post his PM's and my answers to them for all to see.

I have tried hard to build up confidence and satisfy all my customers demands, so to say I am dissapointed is an understatement. :(

NOW I find out that he posted on my FS thread that I have bad customer service!!! I never even sold him anything!!

Hey man, if this guy is a kid, you need to cut some slack. He hasn't scammed you or anything. It could be his first forum he's been on and he could just be learning forum etiquette. The first forum I was on I made three accounts and got banned each time. Then a while later I apologized and now I'm a part of that community (that was three years ago). If he did something like that, your better off just talking to the mods, being polite, and not damaging his rep because he may change his mind later and become valuable, but it will be too late if he has been run over by the lawn mower.

So please consider, if someone hasn't scammed you out of money, be considerate that it could be a kid who is just having problems, I've been there before and what it takes is somebody showing endless kindness.

My 2 cents. ;)

As a kid I used to act out and hoped to be loved anyway. Hard lesson, if you are an arse, you are being an arse... Don't test peoples patience as a measure of how much you are valued or cared for if they put up with you, doing so or putting them through that is devaluing them. I wish I had been cut far less slack as a kid, but that was my life... I can't speak for others or their situation, but if someone lied about having bad service on something they never bought, that goes beyond pushing the envelope, me thinks.

Thanks USA bro, you should know I cut people slack. I got you out of the red a couple of times, because I thought people were being unfair to you...

Anyway I helped this guy and really went out of the way to do so. I tried hard to give him all the advice he needed and "cut him a lot of slack". The fact that he never purchased anything is fine by me, but trying to harm my FS thread without justification is not ok.

This was a stab in the back and I dont see how I should now cut him more slack.

I am truely disappointed.

Well I didn't see the conversation so it could be way worse than I thought, which I'm now seeming to think. So your probably in the right, but I'm not sure if I would go to the point of banning him.

It hurts to be banned. You log on. It says: You have been banned. Now everyone is talking about you and you can't defend yourself, it only makes it worse so the kid gets angry. If it's a scam artist he will probably just leave if he gets banned, but for kids it's not the way to deal with it.

EDIT: Oh I'm sorry I didn't see he was trying for that thread, yes that may now be harming business and may call for a ban, if it continues. We all know you have good business though and their is nothing to worry about. Yeah if he's lying about that screw him kid or man it must not go on. I thought it was just an argument about building a laser.

Second grainde your a good dude your products are good. You tried to help a new member out who just wanted you to build him a laser for free by the sounds of it and when you told him to do the work him self he got a attitude and that is bull. And Grainde do not worry about it to much the person in question will get his do

Ok guys at the risk of getting slammed here. I just went through my PP receipts and host notes and he did buy from me. I will adjust the OP above to reflect this, but please note I also threw in some extra bits for him free of charge.

Anyway I stand by what I said, but this is a formal apology for not checking this first.

Grainde, I feel your pain, I've had my dealings with him also, in this thread here - "http:// http://laserpointerforums.com/f51/how-solder-diode-driver-92552.html#post1344566", I told him which "search" to use, and even provided a link to help get him started; for this he tried to neg rep me, saying I had a bad attitude, but he had no rep to do so.

I'm all for cutting people slack, and helping whenever possible, but this member doesn't seem to want to listen to any advice.

@grande-we all make mistakes, buying from you or not from looking at the thread he is a jerk. I don't think Perma ban is good unless he's a troll.

Seems to me like LaserKid believes everyone has a bad attitude. But to me, saying people have bad attitudes while yourself lies about a forum member and gives out negative reputation for no reason isn't looking too good.

There are some people on this forum who have my respect no matter what arguments come up, and grande is one of them.

@Grainde- brother don't even waste more energy on this kid. You know you are a great seller and couldn't be more helpful and stand up. I have bought 3 hosts from you and you have given me hours of help and instruction.
TBH I am surprised how much defense this kid is getting here. Yes kids are not full grown adults and still developing but everyone on a forum is responsible and accountable for their words, period. Are we now in the "helping youngsters become good grown ups" hobby as well? As Usabro can attest I don't make excuses for immaturity. If a kid wishes to enter an adult conversation then they will be expected to act in accordance. If this laser kid is being an ass and unreasonably trying to smear a dignified long standing seller and member of LPF then get rid of him. End of story. He can come back when he learns how to behave like an adult. Its not our responsibility to make caveats and excuses for him because he is young.

Yes I can attest to the nwfreefly :)

But it is easy to have multiple accounts without mods ever knowing, I know that for a fact. And they can't ban you if they don't have proof.

And I think Nwfreefly made a good point. Get rid of him. BUT, he can come back when he gets in line and sees where he's fallen off the path.

But I must say perma bans don't work. Because it is as easy as pouring a glass of milk to make a new account while using Tor.

@Grainde- your a damn good guy and seller. Keep your sights on the many many people that you have made happy and appreciate you! They strongly out weigh a bad apple.
