I dunno about wrecking somones project that is live...
Thats kinda over the top, it affects webmaster's and infringing on thier efforts hurts innocent parties to this. 10 Dollars is 10 dollars but its trivial in a longterm business relationship. Which this seems like it was. I have had clients that took months to pay I have had clients that pay in full ahead of time wrecking what they have paid for though goes well beyond my scope on conscience even in a minor descrepancy. No winners here. |

Swapping out a banner image is nowhere near wrecking a site, so I'll rest well knowing that I acted with integrity. It was really tempting, though, not to take the whole site down :) |
Well thats cool. I guess I dunno. Good luck though.

I don't wish to take sides, but I find it funny how Francis changed the subject from the money he owes to the " jpeg/html swap" vandalism.
Best of luck! |
This thread is priceless. Thanks for making my 4th!
It looks like all Kasey did was give them the $50/hr version of the site. What I'm amazed at is that you left the original artwork on the server. I might have removed it until after full payment. I've been on kasey's side of the fence before, so I may be partially biased. Nothing sucks worse than someone trying to change the terms of a deal after you have upheld your end of the arrangement. |

If there's one thing that annoys me is people that say "it was just $200" or whatever. If someone walked up to you and took $200 right out of your hands, would you not try to get it back? Even if you're a millionare, you can still have some fun with that money. A loss is a loss and even if it's small money, it's about principles. People need to start acting realistic. :2 cents: |
I know I won't be sending iPorn any traffic... If they're willing to arbitrarily underpay their designers, who knows what they'll do to affiliate earnings :helpme

i liked the unicorn header - and even more the bunny

Kasey, i run a design company, so i can feel your pain, but I am with Alien on this. Regardless of what the situation is, whether it's clear or misunderstanding, you can not legally and ethically fuck up someone's site just because you have access.
I am no lawyer but you got to be completely retarded to go and admit your actions in public, giving a cause for action in a defamation suite. You just signed yourself up for full bankruptcy.. showing damages would be easy, there is proof on this thread already. We live in a legal society, and the way to solve it is to file a civil suite, in a small clams court to collect the funds if you are right, you won't find a Judge to get you paid on GFY. Do you think there are many companies who would be willing to hire you knowing shall there be any kind of issue, the laundry will be on GFY and their reputation has a potential to be tarnished. Good luck getting jobs. Lesson to learn regardless, get your paperwork straight before doing work to make sure there are no misunderstandings from any side. |

Seems to me that if Kasey wasn't paid the amount agreed upon, then they pretty much voided the agreement... at which point Kasey could have taken the site down until the agreed amount was paid. Repossession is a legal action.
As for the vandalism bit.. The design, not being paid for in full, still belongs to Kasey. Ya can't vandalize your own property. That's how I see it.. Then again, I like chocolate chip celery.. :) |

I liked the bunnies and unicorns better. That content has to be 5+ years old on the site design too isn't it?

Kasey, here are some points you should think about before you take this any further.
1) You could have easily called me to sort out this misunderstanding, but you didn?t. You still to this day have not called me. 2) You admitted above that you had been getting paid $50/hr on prior work. It was clearly a misunderstanding that could have been solved in one conversation. 3) If you wanted to change your rate, all you had to do was ask. You never once called me to discuss a new pay rate. You simply changed the rate on your bill and sent it in. I probably would have given you the raise in your pay if you would have asked for it before you started the project. Heck, I would have even given it to you after the fact if you were cool about it. Obviously you weren?t cool about it. 4) You're trying to lay the blame on Mike. You knew Mike joined iPorn only two weeks before you began work on the site. He had no knowledge of our prior arrangements or what you had been getting paid. Again, a situation where a simple phone call could have saved you a lot of grief. The bottom line is that you made no effort to resolve the problem. You just reacted. What you did was unethical. Don?t try to make me look like a bad guy when I?m not the cause of the problem. Vandalism and defamation of character is a serious issue and it leaves a permanent mark on your record. You could have a very hard time trying to find work. You are very lucky that I have no interest in going this route. Any other company would have already filed the papers. If anyone hires you in the future, my suggestion is to be upfront with them and if you have a problem, work it out in private. |

Mike asked if I might be willing to meet somewhere in the middle. I agreed to take 10% off the top of the invoice, and explained to Mike that I did not want to do any further business with Francis. I sent a new invoice with the discount, and received another call from Mike stating that the check went out, but that Francis did not write a check for the full amount. My response to that was, wow, what a dick. Had you, Francis, perhaps decided to call me and discuss the fact that you sent out a check for lower than the discounted invoice I sent you, this thread may not have been posted. I believe, however, that you thought that it would just slip on by Quote:

Mike is a straight-up, awesome guy who, as your employee acted as a liaison for your regrettable decisions. As for grief, this whole thing has had me laughing for two days straight - no grief here :) Though it would be nice to have that $800 bucks. Shucks :) Quote:
Here's a word for you to remember: Integrity: adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty. It's a big word, with four whole syllables, but do your best to try to remember it and apply it to your life and you won't find yourself in situations like this. Cheers :) Kasey |
Worth the price of admission!

I'll leave it up to Francis whether he'd like to post his information here. Take care, Kasey |
Datatank you can call me at 323-330-6480

Interesting the way this is playing out.
Bureaucracy in motion. BOSS "hey new guy... do all this, and say it's in my name" NEW GUY "Oh, OK Boss" Kasey "Hey New Guy, what up?" NEW GUY 'The Boss told me to tell you.... Blah Blah Blah...." Kasey "Hey! Where's my money" BOSS "Either you or the New Guy fucked up It's your fault for not talking directly to me." New Guy "I only work here" Kasey "Where's my money? Etc. Etc. |
