The Hinderer giveaway disaster

[allyourblood]

Oh snap!!

Glad I never got involved in this give away. It seemed a little weird from the get go. I hope justice is served.

Does that imply what I think it does?



I think I hear a hammer swinging.

 

[timberweasel]

Well, I'm quite convinced. Thanks Rusty! Hope Knives Emporium gets booted from the community.

 

[Mink]

Thanks for the chance.

Scam. Seen it all along. Dirtbag move.

(The sound you hear when you lose on the price is right)

Many other questions still on the table, not just the fraudulent registered Non-Member who won that is within the company's vicinity (strange coincidence). We have many yet unanswered questions, winners within driving distance of their company (Stephen Slampa as well from the April 6th 2013 give away), fraudulent entries against BF rules, copying Fort Henry's website, putting the BF Only entry link onto FaceBook, registered users included in the drawing who were not Members of Blade Forums, was there actually a knife to give away...

So right now there is a perception given the information at hand that KE was manipulating our community for their personal gain. A much larger issue than simply a knife give away.


Below is an example of how statements change during a conversation:









And you can see here how the Hinder give away went from being 2 separate give aways to one give away where FaceBook participants were made aware of the BladeForums Only give away. No mention to BF members about the Facebook give away.

Thanks for the clarification. I understand now.

Thanks Rusty for putting that together!

"knifemachine, ragazzoxp- duplicate accounts for I have this itch......- All Banned. "

Well, guess there is another question. AND THE WINNER IS>>>_________________?

Same email for both

This is not good. I hope someone lets Spark know about this.

Good work Rusty.

I'm locking this thread for now while we sort this out.

EDIT: It is pretty clear what was going on here. Truthfully, we (the mods) owe everyone an apology for allowing this continue as long as it did. We should have shut this one down from the start as it violated the "no solicitation" rule.
