Then I say PM him that he's been nominated for the Probation List, and follow the procedure from there. Sounds like he's eligible based on him saying he had the book in the December PM.

 

And I'd be very factual about it all.

 

Your expectation was that books would ship once he had them.

He confirmed on Dec 20 that he had them.

It has been 30+ days since.

 

Thus you are nominating him for PL.

 

So what "procedure" follows in order to place this facilitator on probation?

 

Sure I might get my sketch eventually, or maybe he'll just provide the refund I already asked for. It's just a pity that something like this is allowed to happen to someone with such reputation. And like I previously said, this guy is still posting comments & ignoring PMs. Starting sketch ops and sales thread, completely ignoring sketches he need to ship first. I know I'm not the only one waiting for their sketch, but coz of this guy's status in the boards, a lot are afraid to voice their concern. I hope you guys figure out a way to change some policy weeding such facilitators.

 

And I'd be explicit in how the Nominee can "right the situation". Sounds like you are giving him two reasonable avenues to make it right

1) Ship the books (with a tracking number provided by a certain date)

2) Refund money in full (via paypal by date) or by check (with tracking number by date).

 

So he then remains on the PL until he resolves it in one of those methods.

...here's a thought... if you spend two weeks telling someone you are waiting for more Priority Boxes from USPS before shipping out a package... you should probably use a priority box when you finally get around to shipping the book.

I asked at my Post office and they said they couldn't give it out anymore.

Get some for me.

I remember another recent Board discussion on a similar matter. What I took out of the discussion was... if the books were not insured, E-Bay can't help you.

I still don't get why selling valid digital codes is against the rules from CGC, but selling unlicensed (ie bootleg) items is perfectly acceptable.

 

What's the difference?

bring the bootlegs to the mods attention, the thread will probably get zapped.

I think he means sketches that are not licensed, if I'm understanding correctly

[seanfingh]

I think he is talking about those pin backs.

[miraclemet]

artists doing sketches has always been an nod and a wink allowance by the publishers at cons and elsewhere as long as the images arent mass marketed.

 

so no its not about the sketches

Got it. What exactly is a pin back? If that's the bootleg in question

That should have been obvious :doh:

[miraclemet]

per the CGC mods they "believe this product is allowed to be sold" and "please stop notifying the moderators"

 

so nevermind...

 

Continue selling unlicensed art that the original artists make no revenue from. You'd think our community would be above that sort of creator slight...

 

topic dropped.

So im just thinking out loud, who thinks modern needs their own section?

 

I think it would be beneficial to both the lovers and haters of the current modern market.

 

threads could be:

 

1. 1970 and earlier (Gold/Silver)

 

2. 1970-2000 (bronze/copper)

 

3. 2000+ (modern)

 

4. misc
