Banned unjustly and seemingly without evidence.

Everybody makes mistakes. Does his mistakes outweigh his contribution to Sythe? I dont think so.

Yeah man, the hasty decisions definitely don't outweigh the shitty attitude towards the community.

In all seriousness, everything Syed said is 100% accurate.

Heeatz showing his educated opinion in this thread lol

 

For real though blade bro4 is a moron. I remember deciding to dispute a ban that took him around 15 days to reply to. I wouldn't have even bothered disputing it until blade bro4 proved his retardation in this post: http://www.sythe.org/dispute-forum-archive/1809931-syeds-dispute.html

I posted an IP that was in the same /21 as his - that's 2048 IPs, so there was almost definitely no chance of him being DDoSed, then the purported victim said he didn't mind the personal information leak(even if it wasn't his IP). So what exactly what was I banned for?

And then he says this: He was going to perm me? Over what exactly?

The dude is legitimately retarded so I really don't know why the fuck he's a mod.

I was going to perm you for leaking another users' IP in a public forum. As well, you're pretty much a useless troll scum who, in my opinion, doesn't deserve a place on this website. I'm fairly disappointed in myself for wasting a minute to type this.

@James - I thought i'd already apologized. I made a mistake, and I'm sorry that it happened. I'm human. That said, I don't really feel bad, as you're being obnoxious about the situation. I was wrong, it's over, get over it.

@Everyone else - I recieve a lot of negative feedback because of the way I handle disputes.
I don't care who you are, who your friends are, how many vouches you have. The rules are rules. Follow them or fuck off. I've done far more good than wrong to the community, thus I couldn't care less about your fallacious incorrectly formed opinions.

That's not an apology, that's you setting yourself up to call me obnoxious. I have been nothing but truthful and clear with you. I have explained my every opinion and not once have I attacked you in a personal manner. I have, however, been forced to ask you on several occasions to stop attacking me in a personal manner so we can discuss this situation in a normal, civilised manner.

I will give you one more chance, after which I must ask you to leave this discussion as you are evidently not up for the task.

I followed the rules, you didn't. By your own reasoning you should...

 

For the...third? time:

I made a mistake. I am sorry.

I have learned from my mistake, and will ensure it doesn't happen in the future.

 

Lock it up, boys.

I'm glad you're not a mod anymore, what a toxic attitude and opinion.

 

[nodnarbusn]

At the very least BB4 apologized, early on too. He owned his fuck up, and it was indeed a fuck up.

Owning your fuck ups means a lot to me. I respect that, grab some vagasil yarrow. I call shenanigans.

 

[Heeatz]

Well you aren't the brightest person around so that isn't saying much.

"I'd much rather"

There is a thing called preference. Some people value legitimacy, and rightfully so. Potentially losing customers because of a haste decision that lacked a proper investigation isn't anyone's cup of tea. Well maybe yours, but I wouldn't be surprised.

When was the last time someone got their sythe account hacked with 2fa enabled? Never? Oh. What is the point of activating 2fa if it isn't taken into account when requesting bans? Blade said he didn't notice the 2fa, so that's why this whole thing happened.

You can at least try to hide your bias in this thread.

Oh, the irony. Your opinion is nothing to me, or anyone on Sythe for that matter.

Okay, so you have a issue with Blade, he banned your account for 30minutes so you decide to start a pissing contest on Feedback. Good job. All im seeing is shit being blown out of proportion, be happy that a mod cared enough to ban you for something that looked sketchy to the user who reported you, and him.

Maybe it was a poor decision, but did you never made a single bad decision while you were on staff James? Give the guy a break lol, and somebody close this stupid ass thread.

I wouldn't have apologised to you either tbh for being a little bitch. Man up, the community/feedback section doesnt need to know about your private affairs.

 

Keep in mind that many ex-moderators on Sythe have been hacked recently, so the staff is really quick on trigger if they see any peculiar behavior. This was a false-positive, and was avoidable to an extent.

However, it's a situation with very limited downside (user is banned for a few hours), and nearly unlimited upside (prevent potentially $1000's in scams). For that reason, let's calm down the drama on these situations. The false-positives are worth it if they prevent scams.

Don't take it so negatively James, because these measures are really taken to protect you. You'd be the one on the line if someone hacked your Sythe account, based on the current rules. That being said, we will look to improve our methods of seeking out hacked accounts, and look to reduce the frequency of false-positives going forward.

 

Thank you for banning me when you did R2, you saved me alot of potential repayment money out of my own pocket.

I understand the point you are trying to make, and I agree to an extent. But the point I'm trying to make is that the actions in this instance were of such incompetence that I am truly worried.

I agree that I would prefer to be banned if there's evidence to suggest my hacking, whether I am or am not. But in this case, there wasn't any evidence to support this theory. He keeps claiming it was a precautionary ban, just to make sure. If this is true, then he should NOT have informed my customers, he should not have locked my sales thread and definitely not have gone out in public at all until a clear decision has been made or there is a 100% certainty as to whether I am or am not hacked, let me explain.

But there was no proof to support my supposed hacking, simple as that.
The only reason he thought there was, is because he compared my current IP to that of a three-five year old post which differed slightly in location and banned me without doing any further research.

I do not know whether this is an average reaction of BladeBro, or if this is a one-time fluke. But by no means should this be an acceptable standard which is why I have come out for this to be discussed in such a public manner, so that other people may join in and share their views and stories.
As stated before, this is not intended to be a witch-hunt, this is an open forum for others to share their experiences regarding the subject at hand whether or not they agree with my personal views.

 

[Anish]

I don't log in much, however from what I've been seeing of blade... Wow... this is very entertaining drama. Not only the op is bitching but a lot of other people.

Wow.... It's not even the unnecessary bans and infractions that surprise me. It's his attitude. I never seen staff here act like that before but then again I haven't been here long. Anyways his attitude is scary.


Sorry what happened to you.

 

[DestinyLFG]

You should all step back for a moment and just think about how much time, energy, and frustration you're making for yourselves over a Runescape forum.. Dude made a mistake that took all of 30 minutes to fix and you're bitching for days. Chill out..

As much as I like to jump on the staff are retarded hate train and my dislike of BB, what Nod says is true. James you're acting like a fucking cunt. Not sure what's up your ass.

Yeah, but he didn't. I had to tell him he had not apologised on several occasions before actually admitting fault and later on apologising. His first apology literally came down to "I'm sorry but you're worse, so really I'm not"

An apology would have been accepted if it was offered directly after realising he was wrong, not after I had to go public like this.

 

You didn't even talk to me. I didn't realize I was wrong until halfway through this thread.

 

[getonmylvl]

pretty sure everything is sorted out, not sure why this thread is still happening tbh. BB4 has apologized. I have been in this situation in IRL, and nothing comes of any benefit to anyone if people drag an argument out. That's why it is avoided as largely as possible. just shake hands and get on, James stop moaning he made a mistake, we see your loss, he has said sorry and admitted he was wrong, what more are you looking for?
