RE: More THIEVES on Steem Blockchain? Be careful with bidbots... Don't use @booster! Here is why...
Not sending funds back to a blacklisted user is common practice and clear in the Terms of service.
Not sending funds back is theft!
The norm should be refund and decline the service.
Relying on TOS is by no means a valid excuse. One could write "If you're a spammer and use my bidbots, I will kill you". Will you still support a murder covered by TOS?
You argument about the (potential) use of another service in case of refund is also misleading.
All is about having values and stick to them.
Just my 2 cents.
Absolutely true my friend! That was what drove me to write this post... but it seems, by the replies that I am getting from these guys, that I am the one doing nasty things here, so I quit the conversation... Not providing a paid service and taking the money is indeed theft and no matter what they write on TOS or on the blacklist they control or others statements. Anyway, had enough of this nonsense... thanks for sharing your thoughts mate!
I’m confused by your response, as I was just stating that this is what most promotional services do and I have asked about it before.. no one seemed to have a problem with it then.
Many times refunds were given, many times they weren’t. If a user is blacklisted, not returning the funds is common practice among most promotional services here and the terms of service is clear on this, anyone agreeing to use the service agrees to these terms. I myself don’t use the service and if it said "If you're a spammer and use my bidbots, I will kill you". I would very much discourage anyone from doing business with them, I feel like that is quite a reach here though, don’t you?
I’m in no way stating what happened to prc is acceptable and is indeed theft, glad it got resolved. That situation and the one I was referring to are very different though, as I commented above.
Not really sure how that is misleading, as this was the response that I got from multiple bid bot/promotional service owners when I asked previously... and so I was stating it here.
I have pretty high values and always stick to them, even if that means getting a bit of heat here on the platform. Just like calling out a community leader when it feels he’s more concerned with getting attention/support than actually making sure his community is well informed. Sometimes having values means saying things people don’t like.
Prc should have been refunded.. over a week later that seems to have happened, I’m glad he got it resolved.
