Proof or ban
i have never seen a negative thread on here about her not delivering work i have spoken to her on icq before and would definitely use her for future projects

She already admitted it. What more proof do you want?

Considering you hang with people that do not follow through on their word? I spit on anything you have to say, never mind who you think is reputable or not. :2 cents: You made your mark here, I am just here to enforce the fact that everybody knows who you are and what you are all about.

Carry on gentlemen. :glugglug

There are s many low life's on GFY and it's not even funny anymore

There was no malicious intent on their part, it was miscommunication and made sense to me. They followed through as well.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Well good for fucking you. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I have had good luck with Anna with some logo work and will use her again real soon :)

Wrong thread. This is the "GImme-Webshit Scammed Me" thread.

I'm not surprised.

DramaLlama

Hey buddy, I don't give a fuck what you think about me, Elliot or anything or anybody else. All that matters to me is that I follow through on my offers and anyone who works with me needs to do that same.

I can't be responsible for everything they've ever done or will do, I just fix what I can and if the trauma is just too deep, as appears to be the case with you, then there's not much I can do, after all the world is a tough place and weak minded people just have it harder. Not gonna lie, not everyone is going to make it.

I offered you compensation for the dissappointment you suffered at not getting a free t shirt for the HUGE investment of posting in a thread and you declined it, proving that you are a whiny little bitch who'd rather have something to cry about than a t shirt.

I have dealt with a lot of people like you and they all had one thing in common, they were all bitches. Most of them had vaginas, but hey there's exceptions to every rule, right?

New way of turning the tables?
I smell fake drama, created by gimme website himself to make him look like a victim

she... not he

..... :Oh crap your serious shitting me?

What a bitch fight

wow her work does suck compared to other "newbie" designers

TBH, I've seen your name a bit but have never looked at your work. Seeing the way you have handled this thread and the people who have backed you up, I'm going to take a look now.

Yesterday I had a falling out with a new mainstream design company I've been trying to work with. I had to file a charge back because they refused a refund (after two weeks up bullshit work and missed deadlines) and once they saw that, they went ahead and returned my money.

This is not my first bad experience with a designer and when I read your above statement, it made me question if I may be somewhat to blame. Can you elaborate a bit on what you mean here or give us specific suggestions on what you like to see in a client?

AaronM

My perfect client comes to me with a clear picture in his/her mind of the project.
They have a basic understanding of how things work and how a website is put together.
We may make designs day in day out, but we are not mind readers. 90% of my work is paid per project. So if the client hasn't done his homework beforehand it makes life difficult. I only get paid for the final project.. I dont get paid for chatting for 2 hours on icq or 50 emails. So your initial project brief is critical. I need to understand what the heck your saying to me..Clear and fast!

Things that annoy designers.
Your client wants to be your new best friend.
Your client de-values your time.
Your client really doesn't know what they are talking about/doing.
Your client asks for a 'quick favour' and ends up taking half your day..
BUt the WORST client "Im a designer too".. As soon as i hear those words. Im off....They will always think they could have done a better job than you.
SO why hire us?

The main thing to understand is that we (well i) arnt paid by some company. Anything that takes time away from 'Working' .. is bad. I lose money, and my next client has to wait even longer and obv he gets irritated. And the happy feeling leaves both clients......and me.

The worst thing that can happen is the project goes way over time quoted. If it's becuase ive mis-quoted, i have to take it on the chin and take the loss. And if its the client that has caused the delays.... its VERY hard to confront them about this and ask for more money. (this is why we use manictime and rescuetime to track our projects).

Some historical examples.

I was hired to do a sologirl paysite. The client didnt understand the CMS and constantly asked me to write out 'quick guides', and talk him through setting up a gallery via icq chat ect.
This went on for several days and when I said to him "look.. your running out of hours on your project with all this extra stuff".. he says "i only pay for results.. You get no more money until the project is completed".. Difficult situation.

I was hired to do a banner pack. (i offer them at 250 for a pack of 16)
HE also agreed an extra $$ becuase it meant i would be working xmas.. i think that is fair enough. Pay extra.. or wait..choice is yours.
When it came time to get the content off him, we discover they are .dng format. And they are 20 megs each.. with about hundreds to selct from.
But no way of viewing thumbs......And he persoanlly wants to sign off each banner. ..We both lost money on that job.

Weekly we have instances where a simple task as adding our IP to a FTP whitelist ends up taking 3 hours of our time. "is it working yet"... "no........" " Try now.. " "no.......Still not in". Again we dont get paid for this....

As for your specific situation, its very hard to judge a mainstream companies skill level by thier portfolio. Adult is easy, its plain to see who does nice work. Its very easy for a clueless nobody to make a profesional looking mainstream folio.

Maybe you just plain annoyed them? I have one or two clients ive let go recently simply becuase they ALWAYS cost me money.
And some people.. there will be personality clash. WHen you pay a designer, in our head we are in the driving seat.. when someone starts leaning over and taking control of the wheel the master/slave relationship changes. You no longer feel like you are being employed for your expertise. CLients like that dont get a second chance to hire me after project completion.

Not sure if ive been any help. And im sure the trolls will jump on my every word and pick it apart to make me look like scum. BUt there ya go. Theres my thoughts.

No .. 100% not the case. However if im working and a random icq comes through.
If its a work enquiry i have to take as much time as the client needs.
BUt if its just someone who wants to "chat".. I remind them that my fee is 60 bucks an hour.

Not so much to have them pay me to talk (never happened).. but to remind them what while they may have all the time in the world, I DON'T...And they are COSTING me 1 dollar a minite.

:1orglaugh Here we go....

....troll door is open. Expect them any minite.

On a seperate note.. Cyberhustler.. How does the davinci compare to the iolite wispr.
My buddies iolite packed up after 1 month usage. and he is seeking another alterantive.

I actually agree with most of this, gimme-website :)
I recently told a client I don't want to work with him anymore because, when he saw the preview for a logo, he said "I could've make it!". Well, go ahead... Of course, this was followed by 10 "I'm so hurt" emails, but business is business. He's no longer my client :)

And a "client from hell" situation: the guy wanted 20 banners but he would provide the text for them after I have made them, because he didn't had the time at that moment. "It will take 5 minutes to replace the generic texts, why do you insist???" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

HEy loreen. you wanna swap places for a few days. Ill be you and you can be me.
COuld realy do with a change of scenery ... ya know.

SO anyone that doesnt want to hire me .. try out loreen. Shes VERY good and fantasticly priced.
As is Deej..
If ive left your name off... sorry.

Is it cold in Finland? Cause we're having some HOT days here. I could do with some rain and stuff :laughing-

ok am i being stupid or what can i smoke weed with one of these and there is no smell

There is a slight nutty taste.. but its pretty much odorless. But the important thing is.. its as discreet as you can get.
and doesnt irriate the lungs. My buddy is a proffesional athlete and this is the best way for him to enjoy his medicine without lung damage. Simply.. there is no lung damage from vaping.

Show my tits for a vape? Wrong designer honey xxx

Il be in touch though...Def want one of these.

I live at lat 61. Its minus 20 celcius for 4 months. We saw minus 35 (-31f) for a few weeks this year. We dont realy have a spring as such. As soon as the snow melts the sun arrives...

If you like trees and lakes (we have about 144000 lakes/islands), then finland is for you.
We also have wolves,bears,moose,reindeer and if your REALLY lucky.. wolverene.
And of course the MOOMINS..
No poisonous spiders... the only snake is the adder. BUt mosquitos are a huge problem.
As are drunk finns......

And we have everymans right of access. Within reason i can enter any woodland/forest/lake/farmers feild...and itch my tent up for a few days.

And you might be suprised.. It is also possible to grow the plant that you need for the divinci... outdoors! Runderelis hybrids do very well in our midnight sun.

Where are you again loreen?

GFY takes time away from working, so go away. You're not going to get out of that total fucking meltdown you had. It is going to stick with you.

I recommend you disappear for at least a year. Maybe go back to flipping burgers or sucking cock, I don't know, but whatever it was that you did before you had the brain fart to become a designer. You suck at it. You don't know how to treat people, and you don't know how to handle yourself professionally.

You have this bloated sense of entitlement. Nobody owes you anything, and I swear to GOD, the next time, and EVERY OTHER TIME, you post in ANY other design thread that isn't your own, and it looks like you are trying to spam your half-assed services... I will fucking throttle you! Got it? Get a professional clue, cunt.

Oh, and fuck you.

What's the fuck?

HEy sid. welcome to the dribblers thread......LOve your work btw
Homefry.. man up. Enlighten us to what is is you actually do and how much you earn from your endevaours.

Serious .. lets get our cocks out and compare.. I dont have one, but I bet its bigger than yours.

Thank you! Right back at ya!

I saw your edit...And I wish that was the case.

Apparently I read it wrong, that's why i edited that.
And if there is not the case show us your tits!

Ive has to say this twice today... your thinking about THE OTHER well known female 'designer' on this board.

There's only one person having a meltdown here.....YOU.

I think it was you.
