Rose Sims and Paypal

[Moose]

I'm bummed now that my adblocker blocks google ads... Can anyone take a screen shot for me?

[Benjamina]

So, what, Rose just changes the way she sees what she gets from paypal and that's it?

Somehow that isn't the outcome I was expecting out of all of this...

[Xerolize]

she got rid of her guestbook citing a stupid and very lame excuse.  :roll:

[Benjamina]

Boo-hoo lost her guestbook - let's all cry for Rose over that one.  It's not like she couldn't delete all the entries out of her guestbook and start it up again.

Actually losing a lot of the entries in her guestbook (not all of them, but a lot of them) pointing to her wrong doing is a bad thing for future buyers.  To that end, I wish the guestbook feature would come back.  But we know that won't happen, she knows it would get flooded again with those sorts of messages.

And it's not like she can't go on collecting money via paypal.

Her model of operation hasn't changed, has it?  She's still a paysite, no?  And  from the looks of it, it would appear she has no plans to change that.

Do the requirements for verification vary from country to country? I don't have a credit card, I'm verified, with just my bank account. I think.

I haven't checked in a while, but there used to be a thing about your shipping address having to match your credit card address, and for a lot of countries the address format just wouldn't add up (not all countries have a 5-digit zip code for instance), so the automatic process would fail.
But I think that was just about verifying addresses, not the accounts themselves.

Benjamina, it's all about the "baby steps."

Do you think the 3D MAX company(or photoshop) can say that all the .MAX files(or the .jpg files) are belong to them? If yes,my creations are included the 3D model I made using 3D MAX and the texture I drawing with photoshop,now what the company can say with the others?  

Sorry to be going back on an old issue but aren't the 'terms of usage' different?
You can create many 3d models and textures and sell them, create your own games, films, etc (as long as you're not using the educational/learning version)
but as soon as you make content for a commercial game which says all content must be non-commercial (not for selling) doesn't that wave your right of those items? (maybe someone can check) :?

Gee this forum gets more and more interesting with each read.  
It's like an tv soap on on the sims community but with more deceit and lies.  :lol:

I think this is another reason i've never donated to sites... how do I know my information is protected?
Compared to other digital download sites... the sims is a very shady one.

Edited for messy errors  :wink:

And that's the part that Rose and other paysite owners who are bitching keep trying to sweep under the rug.  They are not just selling 3d models or textures.  I said so in another thread, but here it is again - that is the smallest part of an entire package file.  The rest of it is code to make it functional... within the Sims 2.  Something they did not originate.  So what they are doing is selling mostly Maxis code and claiming all the credit for it.

I propose that the paysites put up or shut up.  Sell nothing but your 3d model and/or your texture.  Do not use any textures/models from the Poser community (or other 3d modeling communities), or other images you swiped from the internet.  Do not steal the copyrighted logos from other companies, or copy fashion/furniture designs from famous designers.  Do not merely do a Maxis recolor.  Do not use any meshes from the game either.

Then we will see whether people are paying for your work only.  But then, how many would be left standing after enforcing all the above.

I notice at the bottom, she's made a little remark about a 'virus attack'...which in light of what has been going on, is nicely directing people's assumptions in the wrong direction...-_-

[Aquamarine]

Yeah, I've lost pretty much all respect for her after this shit.

[bekka]

OK, is the link broken or is rose sims down?

Copy and paste the link and substitute the x's for t's. It's a security measure whereby paysite owners or whoever can track where youve came form, which isn't a good thing

I still get caught out by it every time...

[Lackey]

Anybody got an actual screen shot of her page before she changed it? The one that states she will only share your username.

[bekka]

Thanks Jesserocket.  I did copy and paste but didn't notice the xx's.

[Pariland]

I believe I have a screenshot of that.  Give me a few minutes.

Is this the one?
