STRAFE:another bad experience
#121
I like Dustin, and like I said, I really do hope Lawrence isn't still in the picture as some sort of silent partner.
Unfortunately, we will probably never know one way or the other now.
My experiences with Dustin were spot on. Lawrence was the issue for me. Everything I read as far as responses from the company and hiding behind TOS seemed to center around Lawrence, with Dustin playing things cooler and not playing into the provocation.
Time will tell how things go with this new company, and I fully expect that there is going to be a tough road ahead.

Not yet at least, sure seemed pretty optimistic in the new member thread. Is this something that iB and Staff are going to allow when/if it ever comes up? This is more of a general rant as opposed to being specifically directed @ Strafe, there always seems to be those who can slide by while others get the perma ban hammer for things of the same stature if not less.

being completely unbiased..
let it be a guest, registered member, premier member or Vendor..
If any ONE of the above were to be suspended or banned, I don't think it would be okay to come back as a Different Name..
that being said.. usually members get infractions unless their offense is that heinous that they get perma banned but...
was STRAFE ever given infractions/chances before all this..??? we don't see what's behind closed pm's ...

Does anyone honestly believe that less than 24hrs after the fact that he would have full rights and everything to the company. Considering he stood by pretty much everything Law was saying and doing. You really think Law would just step down that quickly/easily? Now MAYBE when all this crap was going down he stepped in and was like "Yo Law, dude you're in the wrong here, we need to make this right, blah blah." then MAYYYYBEE i could buy in to that, but really?? C'mon

^Pretty sure we don't have that type of infraction system on this forum where you rack up points or w/e.
But there was obviously enough chances given if iB and Staff eventually came to the conclusion to revoke their sponsorship.
I obviously don't think they should necessarily be banned but running this business is clearly not as important as their
"full times jobs"(and i'm not saying it should be but if you're gonna start a company and push as many parts as they
are trying to do it should be a bit higher on your priority list.) that they bring up in every dispute. In till that changes or they
hire some help or take in MUCH less volume of orders it's pointless to let a vendor back simply on the basis of "Hey im
doing this by myself and things are going to be all better". Just my .02

So you're saying that Strafe, being ran by TWO people.. Can be better with just one person running it? They've made it clear that they're very busy especially with their 'main job' and some how one person can do what takes a whole team/business to do?
I don't know about everyone here but I come on the forum to buy from the best of vendors out there. Not for a second rate vendor... google and ebay is what that is for. Has anyone here ever been to Strafe and see how they operate?

I don't want to say too much here now until we as a staff get a chance to fully discuss it and then talk with IB about it.
