Why you cancel my Waitlist. WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY??????????????????????

[Wanderer]

Not to interrupt the oh-so-intelligent discourse in this thread - but I think the OP (Original Poster for those not fluent in netspeak) wasn't really being serious.

A waitlist order is cancelled when the product is no longer likely to be available. Serves you right for not ordering in a timely manner. Or if it was a severely limited item such as the PZ PF -serves you right for being a greedy ******* flipper.

So please do not get into any arguments or post offensive pictures.

Thank you.

Yeah...you greedy ******* flippers!

The original intention of this thread was to make fun of me for starting a serious thread about an issue I had with a Sideshow policy. Both of these threads turned into a chance for the usual suspects with high post counts to jump in and get their kicks by calling me stupid, a douche and posting pictures of crying babies as if I was somehow "whining" by starting my thread.

I ignored it for the most part, tried to play along and after a while just stopped reading it. I didn't want to talk about it, so I didn't even ask why my serious thread was closed down and this one was allowed to stay even though it's total fake crap.

Then people started sending me private messages. They were apologizing for people acting the way they did. I got three saying pretty much the same thing...it's too bad my thread went downhill because they were actually interested in what was being said before the idiot squad showed up.

I don't expect anything different. I knew what I was going to have to put up with when I joined this board. Statueforum and OSW both had posts saying this place was victim of juvenile crap like this. I think there is far to much good stuff to talk about, and good people to talk to for me to want to leave. But it does make me wary about starting or responding to any more threads.

To say this stuff doesn't happen at SF is ridiculous. I was on your side too.

Hey Ryan,

I am not trying to say any other forum is better than this one. They all have their own problems. But I can tell you I have never had anyone jump down my throat at either of those two forums for starting a thread they didn't like.

 

[Ryanfromindiana]

I'm a member at all 3 and I do like SF but I rarely post there. I really don't think anyone meant any harm....there have just been so many posts here of people worked up about something without contacting CS first. I hope u decide to stick around...it actually is a pretty fun place here.

 

[jye4ever]

I know I meant no harm, was just joking, sorry if I offended with my crying baby....I was actually enjoying the heck out of all the funny pics and gifs...I didn't even read anything, just kinda picked my nose and looked at funny pics....

Booo, no more funny pics...now we have to resort talking about the depressing economy again or something tediously boring like quantum physics...

Peace...

I'm not going anywhere.

The only difference between my thread, and all the threads where someone is ranting about their card being charged for orders too far in advance, or having broken product arrive on their doorstep is that I addressed mine directly to sideshow. Guess I learned my lesson. If you are going to ^^^^^ about a paint app, or broken product or any other "customer service" issue just make sure you are ^^^^^ing in general, and not directly at Sideshow collectibles.

I just reread your thread and it looks to me like you were pissed off and you were the one who seems to have gotten snarky first (post #18). Everything up until that point was just people expressing their opinions and even more people trying to offer helpful suggestions.

Well, forgive me for reading it differently than you. I was under the impression that the "Ask Sideshow" forum was one in which a Sideshow rep would answer to any Sideshow related issue. I now realize that is not really the point of this subforum.

As for me getting snarky first, I think maybe you should re-read it. Post 8 said it was dumb to start the thread, post 13 said I was a whiner, post 14 agreed that I was just whining, post 16 said my thread was inane, told me to get a grip and implied I was greedy for wanting two figures. The other posts in between just told me to contact Sideshow, which I thought I was doing by starting the thread.

I am guilty of being angry, and I am also guilty of mouthing off. I don't think I would have mouthed off as I did if there wasn't the gang up that followed. Defend it if it makes you feel better, but this forum has more than a few people who just like to aggravate and stir people up.

I gotta try harder to stay out of the way of that, because I doubt it will ever change.

Funny thing is, if you'd just bothered to search for "wait list canceled" or read only just a few threads in the "Ask Sideshow" forum, you would've found this thread right on the very front page of the "Ask Sideshow" forum, which not only addresses your very issue but introduces you to the individual responsible for canceling your Wait List order:

https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34089&highlight=shatterer+dreams

The overall redundancy of this thread and the way the title was written and your angry posting is what led to the images and comments of your so called "gang up." Taking the time to read through a few threads before starting one can make all the difference, alleviate a few headaches and send all of us pranksters somewhere else.

It's always the same. Someone expresses his discontent about Sideshow, and the rest jumps on his back. I thought this board was a place for (SSC) collectors to share their thoughts, good AND bad. Really, I'm so tired of the bunch of SSC brainwashed to move on those that vocalize their issues with Sideshow.
Sideshow is no religion, yet, some behave as if they where SSC's most important apostles. Pathetic. And selfish. Where's the sympathy, support and help for those that really get a 'questionable' treatment from SSC? Where? Divide and rule, that's what's happening here, and some just don't get it. As long as we fight amongst ourselves, SSC is good. As long as they please the masses, they can afford to upset a few. Hope they never upset you. There might be no one around to help, but there'll be plenty to jump on your case. I didn't realize this board was as corrupted as it is.

Hey Nam,

My cancelled order was not waitlist. It was an active order. I have since figured out why it was cancelled, and I still don't agree with their decision to cancel it but there is nothing I can do about it.

Pranksters. Huh. Interesting label for it. Last time I saw the behavior was in junior high. By the end of the thread people were actually saying they agreed with me, but they still wanted to be dicks because it was fun. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be 12 years old again.

 

[pixletwin]

Clearly what we have here is a lack of ability to laugh at ones self. Something we take for granted because apparently we assume everyone else can do it too.

Oh well. I am done. I meant no offense and I am sure (most) everyone else didn't either.

Didn't you read Dave's post? You're calling people "apologists" without offering any insight as to why. People, I might add, who are just as critical about sideshow's products as they are about everyone else. Additionally, how much name calling and picking is in those words above? I think somebody needs a hug and a super absorbent box of tampons. If you failed to see the obvious underlying humor in the replies in this thread, then perhaps the refined mediocrity of Mediworld is more to your taste.

That's understandable, but again, it is covered in the fine print and it's funny how they did that but didn't have the nerve to cancel all the Stormtrooper Ex duplicates ordered at SDCC (COWARDS! - wassamatter?! You afraid of the SW fans?!). But if I were in your shoes, I would naturally have assumed that once the thread was locked, that was pretty much the Mods saying, "Drop It!" Rather than rehashing the same argument in another thread.

I think clearly what we have here is a small core group who don't show any restraint when they read something they find annoying so they become total ***** about it. Don't put that on me, bud.

I don't need apologies. I don't NEED anything. I learned what I need to do next time.

I still agree with you despite you probably thinking I am an ^^^^^^^. I started this thread as a joke, but as I stated in your thread, the same thing happened to me on a wait list. It was a Battle Damaged Pred 2 regular figure which I know was a 2 per person limit that they changed after the wait list was open. I don't feel they should have canceled it, but I also didn't feel the need to start a thread about it here. I think all threads like this are pretty unnecessary. Yours, this one, the ones that ^^^^^ about shipping times, the ones that say Sideshow caters to scalpers, etc. I actually feel this sub forum is pretty damn useless as it is, since Sideshow isn't here to give you answers anyway.

Hey, I was just trying to correct your mistake. I don't want to talk about the cancelled order anymore either. It's gone, and isn't coming back. Done and done.

This thread should be locked to, as the only point of it was to make fun of me for starting the other thread. But this one is allowed to persist, and in the "Ask Sideshow" section. It doesn't belong here either. Never did. I hope they lock it down.

They should lock it. I was just as surprised as you when they didn't.
