Welcome to the Brig: OASCOM

It’s so strange isn’t it. Unfortunately forums - not just this one - will develop a herd mentality/ hive mind on some things.

Remember when the Noob V7 was the sub to have - but it needed forum member ‘Smoke’s platinum paint mod’. His paint mod was complete dogshit - it was absolutely pathetic - but people were all over that shit at the time.

Oh yes! I remember that! I so felt like I was inferior because mine at the time was a v5 and lacked that grail "platinum paint mod"

I never got the mod done - I did it myself. I saw some macros of Smokes mod - the attention to detail and quality of finish would have made most 8 year olds blush. But for whatever reason it was all the rage - in part because he said he had some kind of secret formula using a discontinued paint. All complete bollocks.

Anyway - the moral is that we should stop putting modders and con artists on some kind of pedestal. On occasion they are the same thing and when that happens people get burned.

It’s not helpful to the community when a couple of random ex customers come out in defence of them - as any individual or business can only be judged by their recent dealings.

Similar shit when YourWatch got the boot - “nooo you can’t ban them as I’m still waiting on an order worth $6k.” Fucksake - you just put $6k through a probationary dealer??

Dangerous things can happen with the herd mentality… See, eg, https://27bslash6.com/timesheets.html

I myself still cannot find much on the planet funnier than Simon and his pie charts.

This deserves to get a bump up to keep it fresh on everyone's attention. Any positive movement for those affected, or at least any communication? I was dreaming that he would make a new year's resolution to resolve outstanding work, either straight refund, or communicate the status and estimated completion time frame.

Nothing really, I just get the same message every time I ask for an update. “Most of the Work is complete just needs to be assembled”
The 3rd refund request was denied

Kudos to you, I am pretty patient business wise, I understand that sometimes, despite best efforts, things can and do go wrong

However, in this case, taking more and more money on this scale, from honest folks before completing a bunch of outstanding work is nothing other than robbery / theft / scamming call it what you will.

I'm sorry to say it but even from the UK, I'd have paid a visit now and told him his options, this OASCOM twat disgusts me

What he means is:

Your watch is in bits. I’m not telling you why it’s been left in bits. It just is. And it will stay that way until I can be arsed to put it back together. And lmao if you think I know when that is.

Pretty horrendous business dealings, but everyone knows this already. Poor all round, such a shame for all the buyers
