Now is likely a bad time to mention this, but you should at least donate and become a sponsor, member, whatever. Can't guarantee you won't get scammed ever again, but your options, and access to tons of feedback, makes it 100% worthwhile.
If you mean 10,000 in losses; why the fuck wouldn't you at least toss $25, $50 in towards DBG? It seems like such a waste.

Sorry, a little insensitive. We have all certainly been there to some extent; idk 'bout 10k if I'm reading you correctly, but a loss nonetheless. It sucks, frankly, and it can make you a grizzled, tight fisted paranoid window shopper or you can chalk up your "L", realize it is in fact only $, ( that's hard to do now but you can't take it with you when you have come to the End), and move on to find the trustworthy and honest people that still exist. Praying for you to release your anger, release your resentment and be free of such negative emotions.
 
curious to hear from established members and/or admin if you think a vendor holding an order hostage in exchange for specific actions on this board qualifies as scamming? or violating terms? or qualifies for ban?

it was surprising to receive this in an email from a vendor who took money and then didn't ship:

"first remove all the negative comments. I promise I will deliver your order"

On the surface, this absolutely could be considered blackmail. Refusal to ship paid goods until buyer does “XYZ”.

Were there any agreements made prior to the purchase that we should be privy to? Because from a Birds Eye view, this doesn’t look good for whoever the vendor is.

You absolutely must name and shame them dude. Screenshots for proof would be ideal as well.

Since you can’t see/post in their thread, they may have blocked you on this forum. For the well-being of all involved here, I say you must name them.

This sure sounds a lot like R01
Unfortunately over last month they seem to be having issues. I had a seamless and quick and quality order in December but now you merely ask a question they go tf off on you . If it is indeed who I’m thinking of. Hope whoever it is changes their attitude. Actually sounds like someone else is vended from too

yes - same scammer. you nailed it in one try. we placed an order in november and have still received nothing. emailed the vendor over and over, every two or three days, but he was silent until we started posting our experience in his thread. now he won't send anything unless we delete our comments first.

this seems like a very dirty business practice, and it's very disappointing on DBG, which we have considered to be a reasonably safe place for multiple years. here's an example from our email exchange:

I got scammed really bad, and I’m so bummed ☹️
Hopefully this post helps someone. Beware of a scammer who impersonates the vendor Groot.
The evil jerk made their email grootplayery@protonmail.
I feel so stupid for not noticing.
Please be careful
