What Happened to Bigbuddy??

[mickyfu]

So you know we are here...

I had a baaaaaa d feeling you was.

 

[thetrustedzone]

in situations like this i always remember this by our friend @WizGizmo

"
If a person has had a bad business dealing with another member who was banned, he is allowed to privately contact an Administrator and inquire as to what happened. Otherwise, you are not allowed to ask why a member was banned out of curiosity alone.

And to answer the question: "How can a BHW Senior Moderator be a scammer?", you could also ask: "How can a priest turn out to be a pedophile?" or "How can a law officer turn out to be a crook?".

People are people, and just because one may have "status" or a high position in life doesn't necessarily mean that they are above human frailty and error. You take your chances and calculate your risks and hope for the best. And yes . . . people can sometimes disappoint you.

The Administrators of BHW try their best to take on reputable, trustworthy members as Moderators, but as I said, sometimes people can disappoint you. There are no guarantees in this world.

Cheers! - "Wiz" "

BTW if you want to be part of the "why was BB banned" session at ungagged, I'm selling tickets in my signature for 15% off for the next 4 days only...

Just figured I'd let you in on the fact that you have no signature anymore. @BigBuddy must have hacked you and got banned.

So...he got banned for being a dick.

 

[Zwielicht]

@BigBuddy's account is now temporarily banned with a message that says "Account Under Review". Earlier today, it was permanently banned (clicking on his profile led to an error page).

Edit: Now his account has been demoted to a regular account (non-Jr. VIP).

 

[Nut-Nights]

BB account under review for what ?

 

[Zwielicht]

BB account under review for what ?

Possibly this. We'll just have to wait and find out.

He scammed me out of almost $2500.00 so I reported him and that prick got what he deserved.

 

[LuckyCharm007]

Possibly this. We'll just have to wait and find out.

To tell the truth, I bought one of his services a while back. I couldn't believe how shitty the service was. I was also blown away by how misleading his BST was (What was promised vs what was delivered)

 

[Wilson Grant Fisk]

I heard it was because he was only 5ft 4in and weighed 9 stone.

[KamBhai]

Care to elaborate more?

We may have felt the same though

If you worked with him then you got it right..
And anyone who is asking for more information, I can tell only my part and again this is totally my experience.
Months or may be years ago he was offering a service in which he was selling organic traffic and he mentioned it will be from advertisements like adwords etc, which after a certain time he closed the thread. ( I really can't find this thread from his profile, may be deleted ) and he was charging me $400 per week, after using his service for 8 weeks, I saw traffic is coming from the keywords but I was seeing no keyword ranking in Google or any ads of my website anywhere.
But he was a reputed member and a MOD, so I thought he is doing the correct thing and may be I am not that expert in tracking etc.
3 members from this forum warned me not to buy from him because they said his services are worthless and usually he just resells and he is just taking orders from his reputation he has here. But they were all sellers here in BHW and I was their customer as well but I again thought may be they are saying this because they are all competitors.
Many months after, I see this thread which was approved by BB and I immediately bought and I caught he was working with this guy and traffics were sent like this, not to me but to every other customer. Complete Rip OFF.
I never complained about him here because I consider that as a bad purchase and moved on. This is exhibit A.

Secondly, and this happened in between when I used his service above, many members here knows his famous thread about making money from Play store apps in which he was telling how to make money from Google apps and if anyone has any query can contact him etc.
So, I did contact him in skype about some queries about making apps and which freelancer will he recommend to make apps and
he directly told that he has coders and he can make me an for $X,XXX and I straight got that this was a business plan too but targeted for long shot to get customers.
Of course the main thing was to make an app from that method and its obvious that people will ask him where to get an app done, rest I can say you guys guessed.
Anyways, I really got to know after that that he is just using his name status and reputation to make profit and I kept distance from his services ever since.
But sooner or later his methods of business became history and people start catching his bad quality service.

Again this was all my personal experience and I learned high reputation doesn't really mean high quality. This may be the first negative comment from me about anyone in BHW.

I don't think I've ever interacted with him in any way. However, I did "hear things" about him (essentially what @mickyfu was saying).

I'm devastated. Never seen anyone who could associate any comment with racism as long as it included the word "Indian" and a few cries from apologetic sad PC liberal fools.

Over looked the many Nigerian / American / Welsh sheep shagers / drunken Scots / anything that did not involve Indians. But how dare I compare India to low wages. Dirty rotten racist fuck I am.

Chow Bigbuddy. All my love, Andy....

 

[Reaver]

@KamBhai I'm sorry that happened to you.

It is pretty shitty. The mods are in a position of trust. They're here to look out for you. So when they take advantage of you using their position it's really insulting.

However I agree with you and Wiz. Mods are people too. They make mistakes just like everyone else. And someone's rank on this forum doesn't mean their services are trustworthy.

I'm actually wondering if he had any negative reviews on his BSTs. Did anyone leave any? If they did, did they stick? Or did he delete them?

That reminds me of something else I saw here. It was a similar situation but with a different person. But I'll keep my mouth shut. I don't want to stir the pot or cause drama.

 

[Deleted member 708208]

I am not very surprised. A lot of smart people won't be.

 

[Reaver]

I don't think I've ever interacted with him in any way. However, I did "hear things" about him (essentially what @mickyfu was saying).

I heard things too. And I took it with a grain of salt. With a forum this big there is always going to be some drama. I've barely been here a year so when people tell me things about members older than me, I just take it as gossip.

I'm not saying anyone is lying, but I've never had those experiences or seen any evidence to suggest what they say is true. Therefore I can't judge.

But if I keep hearing the same things about the same members, it does make me cautious.

Case in point.

 

[Capo Dei Capi]

How was he able to provide so many links at such a cheap rate and get so many customers without dropping quality like crazy.

 

[JamaicanMoose]

Just look at his latest service: http://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/im...rust-flow-niche-relevant-blog-comments.881745.

How on Earth that garbage of a BST was ever approved is beyond me.

 

[proxygo]

now i no mods have jobs to do, sections to moderate, rules to enforce.
i recall last year, a member was giving a new guy a hard time because he didnt no the rules
i hoped into the thread and asked this user to stop giving the new guy a hard time,
i had a little abuse thrown at me and at same time 1 of his friends popped in to double
team up on me, i recall posting 1 response to the pair of them it went

[oh double tagged by the goons] now please go swing on XXXX sack.

users name removed - next thing i no BB drops a 3 pointer on my account
and pms me saying You have received an infraction inappropriate language
if sack is inappropriate we would all be banned, ive seen mods in the lounge

Maybe he was just confused for the day and thought BHW was a site for school children.
