Shame on DinoDirect [was: "Ummm.... Anybody recognize this beamshot?"]

For me, quite real. I've bought two Sunwaymans M10A in two orders. The second order was made two weeks after the first one and included some other things. All what I've ordered was nicely photographed, without any signs of fake photos. Photographing items prior to shipping becomes more and more popular and not only DD do this.

Its a great way to help document what was and wasn't included in orders. How much this helps from a dispute point of view I'm not sure on, but I'm sure it might help.

No , no , no tim817 .

My comment wasn't directed at you sir , my comment was directed to anyone who wasn't aware of Dino Direct's business practices until now .

These guys are out to make a buck , just like everyone else . They are going to use any means they can to do so . Even if it means stealing pictures , ignoring patents , or any other kind of intellectual property theft .

The group buy thing seems to be working out just fine for most .

Interesting thread...

I used a beamshot from fonorevka.ru for this

hahaha :D

i think that the people who are upset about DD using brted's photo without permission are upset not just because it is wrong or unethical, but because it is a very personal form of disrespect to BLF and its members. What does it say about DD's opinion of the folks on this forum that they would use the property of a forum member without at least offering the common courtesy of asking for permission or giving credit. All they had to do was ask for permission and I'm sure brted would have allowed the use of the photo, or barring that, DD should have at least given credit where credit was due. But they offered neither. It's very personal to have something you worked on be used without permission or credit, especially when it turns out the stolen item is to be used to make money and by someone you sort of know. Maybe it wouldn't have been as outrageous if DD had never bothered trying to improve it's rep on BLF, but to say that they want to improve their rep and to then go and steal from a member, it's very personally disrespectful.

+1 ^

In spite of gorann's rambling speeches, I still feel the same way about DD today, as I did yesterday...

gorann. you accuse American members here of being self centered. the truth is that you yourself are being extremely judgmental and self righteous in making those accusations. when someone basically says, "stop crying you bunch of babies," that's just another way of saying, "i've had it worse, and i don't cry, so you shouldn't cry either." but what do you know about the lives of the other members here? anything? do you think all Americans are rich and arrogant and self centered? please stop with your presumptuous and judgmental nonsense.

as for my previous post, i was trying to provide a possible explanation why some of the member responses were so harshly anti-DD. my personal view is that it's brted's photo and if he doesn't care, i don't care either.

gorann, with just 5 words, I may sum-up your recent posts in this thread; you just don't get it! Laughing

Sorry for my mistake, it was 6:00 am and that's what happen when the 1st thing i did after waking up was posting on BLF :)

More evidence that Brted is in fact a shill for Dino Direct .

or

it's proof that there is a parallell universe

or

dino direct has a very powerful camera and took a picture at the exact same time you did

or

someone liked the picture of your yard so well they used the same style landscaping

or

Brted IS the Dino

I think Semur, Summer, and Brted are all the same person and that the yard (and house) in question were paid for with DinoDirect points, coupons, discounts, gifts and salary.

I'm glad we've finally cleared the air. I know I feel better :)

I love how people that know little about America seem obsessed with labeling a whole damn country based entirely on what they read in the news. So some jackoffs got their panties in a wad about Clinton. You think the rest of us 300 million give a half fart?

Bombreply:

Eventually the USA did not re-elect Clinton, but went the route of choosing Bush who soon became hated by many. Why the states voted him up is still beyond me, i can only guess they wanted a radical change...

They elected Clinton for two terms which is all that any President is allowed to run. The choice wasn't Bush vs Clinton it was Bush vs Al Gore.

Gorann, ignorance is a burden for some but apparently it's not a burden for you. You seem to quite enjoy it.

I read that corruption is a problem in the public secton there in Croatia so maybe dishonesty on the part of DD is nothing new for you. We expect more however.

Do American's (per capita) consume any more chocolate than Croatians? Nestle is a Swiss company as far as I know. I'm sure there are no Croatian companies involved only because there aren't many Croatian companies.

I don't think you really know what you are talking about to put it mildly.

I think you did okay until you started attacking the people who are pointing out the shortcomings of Dino (not to mention their countries and political system, which you are ignorant of: Clinton was impeached and found guilty of lying under oath, not for having an affair), which is what this entire subforum and this thread is all about. Here are the facts: Dino used pictures without permission for their website. Dino used beamshots of the wrong lights. One is stealing, the other is fraud. They are both illegal. And while it may not be a big deal to you, it is a *terrible* way to run a business. It is not whining to point this out or to say that it is wrong. Other sellers follow a higher code of conduct, even places like DX, so it isn't too much to expect Dino to do the same.

Thanks for the heads up. Did not knew that. So Al Gore never wins it seems. Not that i liked him better or anything... Obama kinda looked a "brighter" choice at the time. XD

That's a bit weird that a president can't be elected over and over if people liked him. I guess it is a fail safe feature. :)
