So, most recently I've had 2 people waste at LEAST 24hours of my f*cking time!

1 was Brock when he messaged me on mcm for a custom skin. He joined my discord, made a ticket. He then stated he wanted a custom optifine cape design in which I agreed to and I, and my discord server admin let him know of my TOS and how LIMITED optifine cape designs are- overall I waited for this user to pick a background color (White or black) and hours later he responded saying he no longer wanted to do my service, saying that the "designs are not yours". Even when I 1000% made them and explained how optifine cape designs are made.
For more in-tell, you can only use minecraft default colors w/ these designs in order to make what someone wants: https://gyazo.com/36251814466e181bc2617908067a2e0c Further more we had agreed on $3.00usd as price. So I was not paid, and 24hours where wasted responding to user and waiting for a response from using.

Further more. Monarch, aka Masons Monarch agreed to make me custom enchantments for my minecraft faction server. It took him 8 days to reply that he had not started due to some things. FOLLOWING excuses saying he had overbooked himself. Which is no one else's, but his fault. Had made a scam report, cancelled it because we where working things out. Then we made another agreement, a little bit more money for more enchantments to make up the fact. Due date was 4-5 days. 4-5 days later + the fact I has asked twice for proof of user doing what he was suppose to do and nothing. Didn't even f*cking start even when I went first and sent payment. He said he'd refund me and HAD "REFUNDED" me. Took 3 days for him to contact me back saying that he was sending a echeck. Another 5+ days later, I was finally paid back. Wasn't the same amount due to CAD -> USD + paypal fees.

I lost so much time out on waiting for people to do jobs they are being paid for, and get nothing. OR, waiting on people to respond (I consider the fact of timezone + people have lives) just for them to respond back they changed their mind once done or nearly done. Even if it's against my TOS, people decide to break it and not pay because of whatever reason.

My suggestion is to PLEASE make wasting people's time, such as trolling, scamming, or waiting so long to forfill a order- against rules!!! Time is money and the longer I wait on people to do my order/purchase, the longer my server wont be released. Following more months I have to pay out of mine and my managers pocket to keep the server up.

Do something about people who waste our time!

Time wasting is already looked down upon and is considered against the rules.

Firstly, whenever someone wastes your time, you're allowed to give them a negative reputation for doing so. I've personally done this to users and have done this to me.

Secondly, wasting time, making a fake offer, or pulling out of a deal last minute is against the rules. Whenever I made a negative reputation on Schubes for wasting around 3 hours of my time, roy mentioned to me that wasting time like this is against the rules.

Here's an excerpt from my reputation dispute with him where he states the following:

Blaze. / Schubes - Was payment agreed upon for this deal? I saw in one of the screenshots Schubes solicited payment.
Schubes if you solicited payment and then backed out of the deal, this is in violation of our rules.

The rules he mentioned that Schubes broke were the following:
5.3 Do not offer to buy/sell an item or service you do not intend to provide/pay for.
5.3.1 Do not bid on auctions with an end date unless you are committed to paying. Retractions are allowed at the seller's discretion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but time-wasting is against the rules already.

I didn't scam.

If i would've bought something from you, I coulda got you in even more trouble.

You were selling public things and claiming them as your own.

Wait for the scam report to be resolved before accusing me.

Just deal with people who don't waste your time. Also, there isn't a need to call out other users in a suggestion.

The website I made the cape(s) on is public, the designs are public. You came to me wanting a skin, but promised to pay for a cape and in the end wasted my time + never paid.[DOUBLEPOST=1576553830][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yeah? Check Monarch's scam report past and look at the dates. He's done this to SO MANY people.

5.3 Do not offer to buy/sell an item or service you do not intend to provide/pay for. - This is worth 20 points iirc, which is an auto-suspension. Report them for this or create a support request and they'll most likely be dealt with.

I feel like I've reported someone for it before but it wasn't never taken into any action. There for why I made this post. People are quoting the rules that relate to this but yet a lot of people are not sure if it's a thing.

It's a thing. I'm 100% sure now that it is indeed against the rules. If you're mad or upset that your time was wasted, make a support request explaining your issue or report the person's profile with the proof you need to show they wasted your time, then neg them as well if you really wanted to.

I was literally reported for this and got 20 warning points within 24 hours.

Well I guess don't waste peoples time.
I didn't, it was false and I appealed it? Here's the point - there is a rule for this, and your suggestion will be denied, so lock the thread. Don't whine about these issues to the public, resolve it with the accused.

Shit happens, get over it. Next time deal with more reputable people and maybe put a time constraint so they are more obliged to provide the product/service.

Having your time wasted is a normal and unavoidable part of life. You're always going to end up having clients who are indecisive and then ultimately decide to go elsewhere for the service you're offering, and that doesn't make them a bad person or mean we should punish for that.

If you'd like to minimise how much time is wasted, only deal with people if they pay upfront.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion
