Bad Trader: chardlogic

@KevinJohnson2 is correct @John_M - @chardlogic was on BA last night and did not bother responding here.

 

Yep. Invariably, that kind of reaction generally speaks volumes. Knock on wood, maybe he's just taking some time to "collect his thoughts," but this isn't what I would call a positive sign.

 

@chardlogic time's a ticking.

 

I will talk with @Todd and @John_M to decide how to handle @chardlogic. I will be in touch shortly.

 

Hi @FBarber.

Having @Todd ban a BT is really the only recourse in a situation like this. That's always a last resort, as it does nothing to help the OP/victim out. Likewise, I believe @Todd is the only one who can purge the inappropriate, negative trade feedback.

Normally, I would recommend waiting a bit longer before asking @Todd to apply the ban hammer... Just to give the BT a bit more time to respond and explain his actions (and maybe take some steps towards helping out the OP victim). Not sure how realistic that is in this case. The BT seems to only rarely visit BA, and the one time he logged onto BA after the BT thread, he logged right back off. It's going on 4 days now since he was last on BA.

 

Exactly this. But I feel as if this is often the case. It would be so easy to handle this informally, with no need for a BT thread. Just act responsibly, acknowledge you might have made a mistake... Own up to it and do whatever it takes to make the OP whole. Not such a difficult or expensive thing I don't think, at least not when compared to the alternative. We all make mistakes from time to time, no? And yet just as you said, here we are.

 

Ultimately, it's @Todd's decision, but my feeling is that @chardlogic has provided ample grounds for a ban. Unless we disbelieve the OP's story, there's absolutely no basis for the negative feedback he provided. At this point I'm completely mystified as to what prompted it. It's almost as if he decided to make a "preemptive strike," hitting the OP with negative feedback before the OP could do it first. Maybe there's some other reasonable explanation, but seeing as how @chardlogic has avoided BA and this thread since the original post, there's no way to know.

I can certainly understand @Pasearelli's desire to just put this behind him and be done with it, but at this point some decision needs to be made with respect to @chardlogic. At the very least, I think his behavior is deserving of negative feedback, and I agree that the negative feedback @Pasearelli received should be purged.

It's going on a week now since @chardlogic was last on BA. He's an infrequent visitor to the site anyway, but I'm starting to wonder if this maybe the last we'll ever see of him.

 

Agreed. I keep thinking there must be more to the story... Something we're missing.

I was taking a look at some of the feedback he's gotten in the past, and this latest nonsense just seems completely out of character. Something just doesn't add up.

 

I've reached out to @chardlogic. If he doesn't reply by EOD tomorrow, we'll assume that he's not interested in clearing things up.

 

Update: He's opted log in during this thread, ignore it, and then ignore my email that gave him the option to reply here and attempt to clear things up. So, I've purged the feedback and banned his account.
