  16. Raffle Controversy at RWI?

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by peepshow

    You guys are so precious.

    I am completely indifferent about the situation, whatever that is regarding what is going on with RWI. I personally could not care.

    Read my post again. First, I never mentioned anyone's specific name anywhere. Second, I made a personal observation and opinion on the practice. Take that with what a grain of salt.

    I've dealt with nearly every modder and many of the dealers on every forum and have purchased their products and services. I then make my decisions on how to proceed with future business with them accordingly. Don't extrapolate or read anything more into what is written.

    Thanks

    Oh, really? This:

    I've had enough PMs from people on that forum, and personal observations to put two and two together that something is amiss and wrong with how it is operated/managed.

    Certainly sounds like calling out the staff to me. If not, who on earth on you insinuating is doing the mismanaging? Have the courage of your convictions, man! Let's hear all the operational and managerial errors that you've seen and been PM'd about. Again, I'm all ears. I'd honestly like to hear them.

    Sorry, am I being precious again?

    ...cause something went wrong there...thats for sure..

    and you RWI guys should be realy happy that lani had the balls to start that :) cause from you nobody did :whistling:...

    It's sure that something went wrong where? With the raffle or between LOS and D4M? I'd agree with the latter, there's no doubt of that. However, I fail to see how it's "sure" that anything went wrong with the raffle.

    Did you stop and think that it has absolutely nothing to do with having the "balls" to start a thread like this :rolleyes: - and everything to do with the fact that no one from the RWI staff believes anything happened with the raffle and that the raffle has nothing to do with LOS leaving?

    If LOS felt he got cheated in his proceeds from the raffle, I see no reason he wouldn't have come out and simply stated so. The same for D4M, if he felt that RWI didn't receive enough of the raffle money, I would certainly expect him to voice that concern. At the very least to the staff of RWI, if not to the general rep collecting public.

    What I see is a bunch of tinfoil hatters putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 11.

    I beg any of the multiple people that PM'd Lani with their concerns/facts/suppositions/etc about what "went wrong" at RWI to PM me with the same info. I'd really like to know what everyone else seems to "know". I've never been closer to a situation and still felt so out of the loop, if anything really happened.

    I don't think anything has, truth to tell.

    Yes, rooster, we at RWI will absolutely be striving to improve and move forward once we're back up, not look to the past.

    However, I feel threads like this are a double-edged sword, honestly. While open discussion is always a good thing, the only people that have any *real* answers are the people actually involved - and the people not involved would have no sense of if they were being given all the facts or not (which I have absolutely no reason to doubt they are in this case). So, what we're left with is 99% of the posters in a thread, myself included, are merely fueling the rumors and speculation.

    The danger in that is for the casual reader that comes along and only reads a handful of posts. He/she thinks "Wow, they steal money at RWI! No way am I going to register/participate/donate over there...". That's my fear.

    I'll say it again: I am lucky enough to call both LOS and D4M friends, and I think they'd call me the same. I have absolutely ZERO reason to believe that either of them has EVER acted in a manner that wasn't 100% above board in any/every situation. Further, I have no reason to believe that the reason LOS left RWI had anything to do with the raffle.

    Hmmmm, a couple of quick observations from me, hooligan, an Admin at RWI:

    1. I don't know the specifics of LOS leaving the forum, and I'm sad to see him go. However, I respect his decision and his reasons are his own.

    2. For anyone to accuse LOS or D4M of "mismanaging" funds from a raffle is beyond ridiculous, in my eyes. I have had zero involvement with raffles, donations or payments to vendors for keeping the site up. However, I have seen no evidence to suggest that anything has been mishandled. Further, I refuse to believe either LOS or D4M have intentionally mismanaged money in any way, shape or form. I also refuse to believe that the current server issues are connected in any way to the latest raffle or to LOS leaving RWI.

    3. I fail to see any "conflict of interest" with Greg selling reps. It's not like he didn't allow other dealers to sell on RWI once he started. Plus, if you'd ever priced one of his watches, you'd know he wasn't making much profit per watch - he was the cheapest out there for almost everything.

    techlogik, I would also be very interested to hear of these issues you see with the operation/management of RWI. Please do explain further. Let's hear it out here in a public space. I'm all ears...
