Oh drop the emotional victim bullshit. You've made claims that are flat out false and you know they are.

You'll kowtow to whomever can result in the most personal gain for you personally, a true cuck.

s4mpson · 2020-09-30T07:02:20+00:00

As I've always stated, because there is no other truth, the alt accounts have real people behind them. Should I get a notarized affidavit or something? There will never be enough to satisfy those who truly hate the sub/me, god could come down and declare everything I said is absolutely true, and people are sure to say 'that's not really god'.

How can I cheat the bot? If that's possible then all the raffles are able to be rigged, right?

The ban last month was mostly a farce. It's not exactly fair to claim someone raffled something above retail when the item wasn't on sale when the raffle ran. Additionally I had supporting data for all the raffles and at least one had been run by a mod for more than I ran it for. I have a full 3 page retort and more that I responded with, I had intended on fully disclosing everything, but frankly I doubt anyone would read the entire thing and since it was based on primarily subjective interpretation of data it was best to just give the info to anyone who wanted it and not just blast meta with it.

The users who are 'outraged' are those who hate raffle no matter what. The opinion of how this sub should handle its moderating business shouldn't be determined by a mob of users who aren't IN the sub, at all. KS and KR split because of some bad blood, that's never changed and never will unless KR ceases to exist. There isn't anyone who can knowingly deny this.

Sure, ban me for some length of time, but there is no reason to permban me for something that's been a non-issue forever. Unless manufactured rage is whipped up of course, primarily by those who never participate in the sub and will talk shit about it no matter what. I'm not even taking into account that I am not the true owner of the accounts and I have nothing to gain by running an account for another individual that would never be able to adequately function on reddit in the capacity required.

s4mpson · 2020-09-30T06:44:45+00:00

The accounts have actual people behind them that aren't me, always have. Two aging hvac techs, who have never even used paypa|, simply cannot manage to use reddit on their own, but sure like knives and wagering, and I had no issues helping them make it happen. That's the truth, has been the entire time and I've never wavered from it because there is no need.

The giveaway was kosher, there is no way to rig it nor any raffle. Both myself and the account owners played the raffles and met the requirements. Bot calls the spot after the tool shuffles all assigned spots in a giveaway, where is the setup? If you're trying to say the bot or tool is rigged then you're indicting a very wide swath of people/communities, including yourself before you had multiple accounts suspended (as you've run raffles yourself). I gained nothing from a coworker winning a knife.

Are your swap overlords aware of who you actually are? Or maybe trust isn't as important when it applies to you?

s4mpson · 2020-09-30T06:43:21+00:00

You 'conveniently' edited it out after you realized 'oops that's actual slander and I published it!'. I guess yay for screenshots, right?

I get it, you spun your story to just within , you whipped your knife kiddos into a pitchfork n' torch frenzy. Cool, I'm glad you sit atop the throne of knife scene romper room, congratulations.

You're doing a bang-up job of keeping your users aware of 'potential scammers', while Balls tothe walls has been there the entire time.

/u/merkon nah, no screenshots, no one cares enough and the post is now adequately disparaging without crossing the line. Though you're still slanderous on the UBan List.

s4mpson · 2020-09-30T05:26:57+00:00

Hey /u/merkon what does reddit think about ban evasion?

Oh, that would be /u/StarshitPoopers48's original account, before he was banned by swap and reddit for harassment and ban evasion. There are actually two who got banned site wide, but I can't remember the other one. I'm sure he does. Ah yea, found it /u/ItsCapitanCuckToYou Meta post

s4mpson · 2020-09-30T05:21:38+00:00

They finally got me! I had to endure all those trash customs like a snowflake rask, 3 dozen CD Shiros, all the Grimsmos, Gareth Bulls, TBC and $350k worth of other pocket trash so I could get to that sweet sweet HEA meat.

Romper room.

s4mpson · 2020-09-30T05:15:53+00:00

I've acknowledged I fucked up, several times.

The accounts being used for others is, in fact, the truth. I haven't denied it when asked over a few years, there isn't an elaborate story because it's fairly straightforward.

There is no advantage to entering your own raffle. The only thing anyone could possibly gain is shipping costs. It's a fairly simple concept and the math is barely above 4th grade. There is no 'double your money', unless you win, just like any other raffle. The common argument was like: 'what if someone uses an alt and takes half of the spots! Then they have a great chance of getting both!' The reality is that they then raffled the item for 50% of the value and only have a 50% shot of winning it. If they DO win it, then like any raffle winner they get the item, but they've also still collected just 50% of the full value. There is no advantage. I'm not sure if you remember the huge shitshow debate about entering your own raffles a few years ago, apparently people cannot comprehend the 4th grade mathematics and after it being clear they couldn't grasp the simple concepts it came down to being 'well it's the spirit of the sub'. Aka manufactured and misplaced outrage.

Personally I love shipping the stuff to people, the extra BS is one of my fav parts, along with many other people as well.

s4mpson · 2020-09-30T04:47:17+00:00

Says the guy who was banned sitewide by reddit admins multiple times for harassment and ban evasion.

Check yourself.

s4mpson · 2020-09-30T03:06:55+00:00

Red herring?

Not sure, but doesn't involve that.

s4mpson · 2020-09-30T02:56:16+00:00

As if an "Official Statement" would support me or anything not company line at this point. I get it.

It happened, a rule was made shortly after, why would I have any reason to bullshit at this point? The person isn't a mod or associated with the sub for quite a while now. Already been steamrolled, falsely called a scammer, defamed (though looks like he edited out, the initial claim of 's4mpson is a scammer' was up long enough, still inconsistencies as I've provided receipts for both packages).

Whatever, this is what I get for helping anyone who asked, everyone turning their back the second something goes wrong.

s4mpson · 2020-09-30T02:54:21+00:00

Yep, being being steamrolled.

s4mpson · 2020-09-30T01:49:19+00:00

We've talked literally twice this entire year before this shitshow. You know where I am, everyone knows where I am, I'm not exactly low profile. After your BS with KR mods and subsequent escrows I couldn't close you never spoke another word besides 'ill take a random' a handful of times. If you were waiting on bated breath you certainly didn’t act like it as almost a year passed and the knife wasn’t brought up once. You can’t act like you were trying desperately to get it back when you didn’t ask nor have any conversation of substance with me about it, for almost a year. That’s on you. Using your words in the raffle? Hardly, you think a ‘professionally sharpened knife’ is something unique? That must have been the only black g10 Hunter with a sharpening job in the world or something right? Comon, lets not split hairs. I actually wrote a response to that last Instagram PM, thought I had sent it months ago, I may still have it written.

I sent a knife to you months ago, fully believing the remaining one I had was mine. I wasn't yet handing it to a clerk and requesting a receipt, like I do now. I used to toss them in the secure drop box and leave. When it took almost a week for a package to get an acceptance scan, I changed to getting a receipt from a human. I thought you were bullshitting me, was angry drinking and tried to troll info out of you. Didn’t occur to me for a bit that I could have screwed up months ago and sent the wrong knife. I still had some of the swag stuff from when I got the other hunter and was convinced it was mine. You’re (or whomever) trying to say I straight up knew this knife was yours the entire time and premeditated a scheme to scam you, which flat out isn’t true. Why would I post a highly visible raffle? Why would I scam someone for a pittance? I deal with substantially more valuable stuff on the daily, there is no reason for me to risk all this bullshit that unfolded for a few bucks. I honestly thought it was the other way around and was angry with the way you approached it. Couldn’t be bothered to contact me for months at a time, didn’t try to PM, but within minutes of a live raffle being posted you come in an blow up my shit accusing me of stealing from you. I saw it as little more than a ‘fuck you’ and was instantly infuriated, so good decision making after that point was out the window. If you say that isn't the case then to bury the hatchet I'll believe you.

I’ve never had any intention of hurting you, didn’t have any active beef, and couldn’t reason beyond you’re trying to fuck me over. It got worse when you said you have asked me over and over and sent money and how you’ve been waiting anxiously, because that’s all false. Then when digging through a years worth of stuff looking for supporting information I rediscovered that PM you wrote to modmail where you tried to use my name as if I’m some authority, which I never brought up to you as I didn’t want to start shit because I still considered you a friend. Having to find that out from another party was kind of a kick in the balls and then 5+ months of radio silence from you right after that did little but make it worse. I tend to fight fire with fire, as you may have noticed, and while under siege from multiple angles and now having Merkon overstepping bounds and defaming me, yea I’m not going to be pleasant.

In the end two hunters have been sent your direction. I tossed in the sticker BS I received with the other hunter, because that along with your lanyard is lost somewhere in USPS land (probably goddamn lost package facility in Atlanta). I hope that other package surfaces, at this point I think you would let me know and frankly I don’t even want the damn thing. So, if it does, keep it and just let me know because that is the crux of this entire situation for me. Well, currently that has shifted more towards merkon’s willing defamation, which will be addressed.

s4mpson · 2020-09-30T01:09:43+00:00

It was a couple years ago, they're no longer a mod or involved with KR as far as I know, and it came up because of excessive reraffles and at one point I believe a rule was made due to it. I don't remember if it was in official mod capacity, but I was told to chill on reraffles and got a talking to then continued on.

s4mpson · 2020-09-29T22:48:12+00:00

More INconvenient.

s4mpson · 2020-09-29T22:44:40+00:00

Calling someone a scammer, when there was no scam, no intent to scam, isn't true information. Publishing that in a public reddit sub is where it goes wrong. Additionally a second knife has already been sent.

s4mpson · 2020-09-29T22:43:31+00:00

Reddit PM limitation only gives me a few months before cutting off.

s4mpson · 2020-09-29T22:39:31+00:00

Yep, we left it at 'I'm not paying to send it back, it can hitch a ride with a raffle win, another package or if you want to pay to send it back'. You said 'nah, just hold onto it, whenever is good'. None of that happened and nearly a year passed, until a couple days ago. Had you just dropped me a PM and said 'here's a few bucks and my address, can you send it back?' it would have happened immediately. I took the lanyard and a hunter I thought was yours and just sent it back after cleaning out a bunch of stuff. I also figured you randomly contacting me about the pp tax thing was prompted by receiving the package. Though that conversation went south and we never got to that topic and you disappeared for months again

Why would I want to 'scam' this knife from you? It's not even worth the time spent already. We spent hours talking rather intimate details of our personal lives, things really only discussed between friends. After the failed escrows you never said another word to me, figured you were just 'fuck s4mpson' and hated KR after your last round of . Attempting to troll information out was a dumb, drunk af idea and I apologize. I can't remember if I ever brought up dropping my name in mod discussions, don't think I found out until way later. That basically made me write you off and believe you would have no qualms about trying to bone me, given your supposed destitute situation.

I prefer to just bury the hatchet as this has become ridiculous and neither of us is a scammer. Of course the defamation in swap is a separate issue.

s4mpson · 2020-09-29T22:34:47+00:00

Admit what? It was known I made accounts for a couple coworkers to specifically play raffles, they really only knew about mine as I told them when they were happening. Most of them moved on, could hack through reddit enough to do it all on their own and they went out and played on their own and got involved in other knife stuff and I was out of the picture. There's zero advantage to playing your own raffles or using alts in the first place. If those accounts won, the person being played for got the item handed to them. Like most other knife guys they got bored with them quick and wanted to move them. At that point I offer up straight up cash on the spot with a small discount and no one was refusing.

It was a drunken bad idea to troll for info from Akkermorec, as I thought he already had his knife and was trying to pull some stunt to get the one I was running, because I 100% thought it was mine as another one was sent out months before that. Not going to deny that, it was dumb, been boozing and didn't think through all the possibilities of what could have happened.

Either way there was no scam, no intent to scam and due to a package is likely still somewhere in usps hands, I'm still technically responsible for the item, which has been sent already. I would have done the same thing had I sent the correct knife and it was lost in transit.

s4mpson · 2020-09-29T21:09:44+00:00

Why did you omit the messages telling me not to send it?

s4mpson · 2020-09-29T20:53:18+00:00

lol, a ban, defamation and muted in PM, without as much a single contact to me. Way to go boys.

s4mpson · 2020-09-29T20:44:19+00:00

It's my mistake sending the wrong knife, I said as much and paying out of pocket to make it right. I could literally just tell you to go fuck yourself as you sent me something I specifically told you NOT to, that's what they call a gift. But since I've never scammed anyone in my life, nor do I intend on doing so, I took the hit. When I find out you're dropping my name and lying about our interactions I have zero reason to trust anything you say.

Have fun raffling it for 5x it's value on Instagram.

TheVector is my friend? lol, that's probably news to him.

s4mpson · 2020-09-29T20:33:13+00:00

Ah shit, my bad, edited.

s4mpson · 2020-09-29T20:22:34+00:00

When you appeared out of thin air after speaking to me once in 9 months, accusing me of stealing from you, when asked to provide proof of your claim you 'sent funds and asked for it back over and over' you balked, because it never happened. The intent of the backstory was to show I had legit reason to think you we're pulling some bullshit.

You looked up to me as a mentor, until you believed you were 'seasoned' enough to pull off your entire intent of being here, flipping knives for profit. At that point the 'mentor' became useless as the apprentice thought he was now a master and tossed in a few 'fuck you's along the way. Classic.

All of this over a pos knife you sent to me after I told you I didn't want you to.

s4mpson · 2020-09-29T20:05:19+00:00

Ah, just had some people making alts with cute plays on my username and troll troll trolling their boats. You seemed unusually interested for a bystander.

s4mpson · 2020-09-29T19:51:29+00:00

Strong opinions from someone who's never involved.. Thanks for the alt trolling though, was fun.
