I am so sorry to hear about the ban being permanent.
Well if that's the case then I would think it's important for people to know that, yes, nearly over 3 years ago Sleepalot erroneously posted a helmet for sale on ebay that after speaking with Chris (aka Fettpride) about its origins realized his labeling mistake and ended the auction resulting in no one being "scammed".
And in regards to taking the commission work, members should probably be made aware of the facts that Sleepalot fully refunded that member's money after realizing he couldn't meet the agreed deadline, helped to scramble and find another painter, and even paid for shipping out of his pocket to get the parts to AFFo$ asap so that he could finish the work to meet the deadline. And according to the pics, everything seems to have worked out fine and the member's suit looked amazing just in time for C7.
So if that's the case, then it's unfortunate if false accusations compounded into Sleepalot being banned, along with being disgruntled about receiving damaged items from another member and realizing to late to allow PayPal to resolve the issue.
I don't know man, just doesn't seem fair.
I hope TDH members will continue to seek him (Sleepalot) out via Facebook because I really do believe this community was enhanced with his presence, especially his helpful painting and comparison threads.
