Ban Krassus? <POLL> Need 100 votes for OFFICIAL status

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

Should user Krassus (and any other aliases) be BANNED for his recent actions in scamming ATOT in his logo contest?

He appears to have since deleted his posts and run off to hide.

Please vote and let the mods see we are serious about policing this type of activity to make ATOT a better place to interact.

His handling of the logo contest was unethical even if it might fail to meet a legal definition of fraud. The fact that people now have to arrange escrow holders for logo contests is a measure of how he damaged the trust between ATOT members.

[ThaGrandCow]

wait... he's not banned yet? Mods, get on this! He scammed AT, he needs to be gone!

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

Absolutely.

 

[chocobaR]

Link?

BAN HIM!!!

And all over $50. Sheesh. $50 for a logo is more than fair. A deal even.

 

[TommyVercetti]

Isn't this the second time a contraversy has arised over logo payments? Wasn't some chick banned over this too?

 

[Dowfen]

Reading that previous thread made me sick. $50 is so reasonable it's silly. If I was him I'd pay everyone who submitted anything $50.

He makes me sick.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

I'd link but it appears the threads have been deleted!

Please hurry up and make a thread, I could seriously use $50 for a crappy MSpaint drawing.

Ok, I missed that part. What was it he did that warrants banning? Did he not pay for a logo that he was using?

Posted 2 threads here, several months apart and one on Offtopic.com, who knows whereelse.

Most recent thread was a $50 contest, but he basically farmed for ideas, made his "own" logo and then had the gall to ask ATOT what we thought of "his". No payout, no thanks, just rude comments about how his was better and ours all sucked.

Then he tried to cover his tracks and deleted his posts. Then threads were locked and now deleted.

Damn! Is this the guy who was doing a logo contest on OT around a week ago?

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

Probably Krasshat

 

[Syringer]

If he didn't find any logos he liked, why should he pay someone for it?

 

[DrPizza]

maybe the threads weren't deleted, but instead he changed the title so your search wouldn't find them? Try searching for all your previous posts.... if you posted in that thread, it should appear.

He took one of the designs, changed it a little, then said it "was an idea he had a year ago."

 

[UnatcoAgent]

yes

You're gone, pal.

Edit - Who the hell voted no, spare the tool himself ?

 

[Wolfsraider]

absolutely

that was a crock.

and it isn't right to troll ie...offer an exchange of goods,use the material and say you never recieved the product,should carry the same weight.
granted the property is harder to control here...it is still the principals we are all bound by here on anandtech.

[AkumaX]

that's messed up, and to think that i was starting to believe in legit logo contests...

 

[Sid59]

bastard!

 

[ThePresence]

Yes, he should, without question. I've won a few logo contests on ATOT, and NEVER has anyone tried to stiff me. He's a troll, plain and simple.
