Background Story:
More
A former member, Druger(aka Jackass), part of the ex-vendor
REDLINE has scammed hundreds of members on geekhack and
other foreign keyboard communities. The scam was a groupbuy
for several different exotic keycap sets, individual losses
ranging from anywhere between $100 to $5000, totaling an
estimate of $70,000+(I would like to express my sincerest
sympathy to those effected by this). That Jackass has
received payments from the buyers and went MIA after
dragging along a long process of claiming to “obtain and
sort” the keycap sets. Subsequently, two renowned artists,
LifeZone and Girldc, associated with the vendor REDLINE has
been prohibited to spread their gift on one of the biggest
keyboard community, geekhack. LifeZone, creator of LZ custom
keyboards, and Girldc, a custom keycap artist, has lost
their reputation due to this event. Each members of REDLINE
conducted their own groupbuys, payments and shipping. Since
the incident we lost two passionate artists due to “guilt by
association”…
(This is from a third party perspective,
there may be details not included but this is the brief
summary)
Hi,
Im a relatively new member here on
geekhack who joined after lurking for a while, hoping to
start a collection of artisan keycaps. It was Girldc’s
ironman that lured me into this world of custom keycaps.
However, after joining I soon found out Girldc was
prohibited to conduct any groupbuys/commercial sales on
geekhack.
Fortunately, I got in touch with Girldc
outside geekhack and he was kind enough to let me in on
groupbuys conducted on other foreign communities. Since we
were both in the same country I was able to deal with him
directly. When I asked him what happened on geekhack, he
directed me to threads referring to the events of REDLINE,
along with answering every questions I had about it. From a
third party prospective, this was unfair. It was Girldc’s
sincerity that convinced me his passion for his artwork was
beyond fame and profit.
(Picture from “Post your girldc caps!” by girldc)
Besides
tarnishing Girldc’s reputation, the REDLINE incident has
greatly limited his passion for this niche genre. Im here to
ask for your support to lift Girldc’s prohibition on
geekhack so he can spread his work to everyone here. Due to
the language barrier, something that restricts emotions or
lead to misunderstandings, I am willing to translate for
Girldc and the geekhack community.
I have messaged two
different moderators here about the situation and received
no response, so please help and speak up. Whether you had
the chance to deal with Girldc yourself or if you are
interested in his work, now is the chance. If this works
out, I am going to ask Girldc for a small project with a low
cost and a small MOQ. All in hopes to restore his reputation
and reinstate his position as an artisan keycap maker. This
is only an interest check and nothing is set in stone, but
Girldc still shows interest to continue his work on geekhack
and we can help.
This is the start.

Folks,
Due to recent revelations, we have finished our
deliberations and decided that the following actions need to
be taken, effective immediately.
-
DrugER is permanently banned from Geekhack.org,
-
LifeZ and girldc are no longer allowed to conduct commercial business on Geekhack.org until further notice.
-
we will archive this vendor subforum in 48 hours. this thread will be moved to announcements. the remainder of the subforum will be archived.
Our hearts go out to those in the community. As the coach of the beleaguered LA Clippers said recently, we hope these actions allow the healing process to begin.
