Rant about Buy Sell section/review copy plz
- Thread starter butcher
- Start date
He's the douche I've been mostly ranting about. He's been accused of being an ESL also, and at $2 per 100 he better have impeccable ratings - which he doesn't. Not only that he harasses the fuck out of people for reviews.
Kinda leads me to believe what I've suspected, after you've pointed this out, RockDiesel.
The guy is a douche, and bounces in on every sell thread demanding reviews, and putting down people who are getting paying customers (without reviews).
Thanks for confirming what I mostly knew already, it put a smile on my face.
Strangely enough, this is the only writing-related thread he hasn't bombed in on. Where are you douche?
He's banned now, thanks to Turbo.
I went and looked through his post history for the fuck of it. It was fucking unreal how many times this guy was the first reply asking for a review copy. I've never seen anyone like him. He had to have the B/S/T section on autorefresh just waiting for new threads to pop up so he could ask for a review copy.
Since I'm new, I didn't want to be the rat. I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who could see this poser. I noticed because every time I came to the front page I would see his name, always in the b/s/t. What was really annoying was his itrader was mostly all reviews. I wonder if this guy ever got paid for his premium level service. I saw at least two threads where he trashed someone who was offering a reasonable service, with a well written sales page.
He'll be back. There are about five members that I'm pretty sure he was using to bump his threads and give him reviews. Except they're not really members if you know what I mean. I'm not going to out them but go through his threads and follow the itraders. It's like a trail of breadcrumbs. lol
Haha, I called him out on that bullshit like two weeks ago. Guess I should have PM'd a mod. Or is the "Report Post" icon the preferred method?
Here's a new rant for you:
What about when you do a free review copy for somebody, and they love it to pieces and ask for some more?
Only you still can't get paid after busting a nut twice. It kind of defeats the purpose of doing review copies, wouldn't you say?

I'd say 1 review is enough. After that: samples, or references.
I will always try to get a site owner to give me their skype and agree to reference me. Not everyone will go for this, but if they like you enough they might.
You can only work for so long for $0. Tell em' you gotta eat!
Good eye. There are plenty of "similarities" in that thread for sure. The "trail of breadcrumbs" is quite noticeable.
Yeah, you've got him with that one RockDiesel--No way anyone uses that acronym (I've never seen it used). I put in for a review, just for fun. I need an article based on the keyword "Puke Feces Fart Sickle" taken care of for my blog.
I think reviews should be clearly outlined, and if you review something and it sucks, tell the community! Peoples feelings get hurt? Brand gets hurt? wtf will happen when paying customers buy it and think "hmmm, the reviews were ok, WF members seem to like it, I'll buy" < When really it's like 3 mediocre reviews and 5+ people that didn't want to offend so they didn't reply at all...
I say if you're coming to market, be prepared to be shit on if your service/deliverables suck. On the flip side you can still give someone a bad review but highlight the good things you found too and or where they can improve, in a positive way instead of just rippin' a new a-hole each time the stuff you review isn't par.

That Danson Graves is another one of these review copy beggars. Guy is supposedly a vendor, but he has 13 review/purchase iTraders, and 5 iTraders as the seller.
Thread after thread, begging for review copies, like anyone cares about his review, since he is a noob here ...
There is a big influx of sock puppets (IMO) in BST now. Someone get erect a banhammer so he can take out the trash...

He isn't the only one. I swear there are guys who hang out there full time bullying folks for reviews.
I suspect the guy you're talking about has multiple accounts started before Hundred Proof showed themselves E.g. look for the words "hard", "rock", "Maryland"...He's around.

There isn't anything conclusive just yet. But I definitely have suspicions. I won't get into posting all the threads and such. But it wouldn't hurt for everyone to keep their eyes open. "Especially" members selling services.
