Where Did My Money Go?

Uranium

<div class="IPBDescription">hmpf</div> 2 weeks ago i donated 20 $ to NS and have yet to recieve ANY word about:
a) them recieving the money
b) getting link to ns 2.1 dl and such
c) any contact at all.

I have emailed asking where my money is and why I havnt recieved a response, I have pmed. Now im bringing this public. I want to know what is up with the donation system.

Edit: this happened to anyone?

MrMojo

What service did you use to transfer the money?

Quantum_Duck

I donated and got a really fast response(less than 2 days). I would look into the system you used to send it.

Maveric

agreed. what system did you use to send that $20?

esuna

Allow me to be the first to say congratulations for donating to NS. Unlike everyone else who donated, you seem to be paying for a service of some sort.

And here's me thinking that we're donating just out of the good in our hearts.

*EDIT: I, for one, don't care if you're "bringing this public", if you're having problems, maybe you should keep it private, it's nothing to do with us. Maybe you gave an incorrect email, maybe (if you sent by snail mail) it got lost in the post, perhaps paypal screwed up your transaction, who knows, but i'll tell you for a fact, we don't know.

dont be <i>that</i> way, esuna... know that im holding myself back from slashing your fingers off.

its good he posted it. it lets us and the people in charge know that something might be wrong between him and the people that handle the checks/money.

Letting the people in charge is a very good idea. How about emailing them, PMing them. There's not specifically something wrong with the system since hundreds of us have used it without incident, it's a specific, isolated case.

Has the money been removed from your account? If you used paypal, did you recieve confirmation from paypal? Does your paypal account register if the money was transferred? Did paypal give you an error? If you sent a cheque, has the cheque been cashed? Did you check if you gave the correct email?

It is in absolutely no way good that he posted it, ontop of that, the way he worded the post it sounds like this is a <i>threat</i>. All this "where's my money" and "i'm making this public". That won't change anything.

Lets draw up a list of people involved.

We have Uranium here, and we have Flayra. Possibly Paypal working as a middleman between Flayra and Uranium. Hmm, nope, sorry, i didn't notice "tens of thousands of forum viewers" in that list of concerned parties. Did anyone else manage to figure what the community has got to do with an isolated incident with two individuals?

Also, i donated just before the 2.1 beta was opened to CM, which is less than 2 weeks ago amd i recieved word back the day after, so chances are you or paypal has screwed up somewhere. Try backtracking and see if any problems occurred or if you made any errors.

Khaim

if you have problems, email flayra (Flayra@Overmind.org or Flayra@Natural-Selection.org) , he's the only person who can help you right now, not the pts, not other devs, not vets, not other cms, not forumites, yeesh. Case closed realy here.

And so is the thread.

In short, though Esuna's methods leave quite a bit to be desired, he's right. E-mailing Flayra and checking your method of contribution is about the only way to figure out what's happened. Additionally, being a Constellation member is not 'buy your way into the Beta'. It was given to the Constellation as a treat... a 'thank you' for donating, and helping Flayra pay his rent and have food to eat while development on NS continues full-time.
