Sorry that happened to you. Maybe it's for the best, that place is crawling with Shiteratti. The mods probably are, anyway.

That happened to someone else here recently.
I started a thread at TGP about it.

I’ve had no problems there with anyone

Unfortunately I sell things there in the emporium so this puts up a real obstacle. I sell other places too but TGP emporiums worked well for me.

Did a good bit of buying there too
 
I was there about a day or two before getting banned. Over nothing. Told the mod to go eat a bag of dicks or something. Can’t even remember. 15 years ago or so. Think I was joining for the classifieds.

My screen name there is Tommy the Kat. Someone posted in my for-sale ad saying they'd buy the pedal. A scammer saw that and sent them a message as Tommy the_Kat and got taken for $350 via PayPal F&F. Looks like they caught it in time and were able to get their money back.

I reported the scam also to TGP.

My account got shut down.

I can't get anyone to respond from TGP

You say it like its a bad thing...
 
Considering they charge to sell there which is comical, i would certainly file a dispute with whoever you paid through.
 
I wanted to buy any of Fiestas gear back in the day because of the clean pool pics
 
Whatever company owns that platform now is pretty terrible all around.

Which sucks, because the classifieds there are still a pretty good place to buy & sell.

Wasn’t your name Fiesta Red there too?

Long ass time ago when I first joined TGP (because a friend of mine had done all the graphics for the site) I actually paid the $25 or whatever it was to use the classified section. Literally later that same day I was banned for some ridiculous, innocuous comment. I think it was like a week or something. When I could get back on I contacted Scott whatshisface and asked for my money back. Needless to say I didn't get my money back and never paid for participation in an online forum again. The last time I was banned there, which was about 8 or 10 years ago, I never went back. The people running it and a large number of the people hanging out there are/were complete fuckwits. Same goes for TalkBass, which is probably owned by the same company. When I retired my last band and quit gigging, around 2016, I pretty much quit fucking with gear forums altogether since I had no need to buy anything or sell anything. I do remember getting a lot of good advice in the live sound section of one of those forums. Man, I ended up with a bad ass PA rig. Even after I retired my band I continued to whore myself out to local bands as an SE. I actually made more money for a lot less work.

There were ( and presumably still are) some good guys on those forums and I miss some of them. The only reason I came here is because my pal @CRAIG4FSU emailed me and told me some old friends were here and that this place was cool.
