their cs is slow, it took 5 days for a server transfer. I guess the team is small.
i also won 25€, but i don't know what to do with the few bucks and the expensive offers from pulsed. somehow i won't accept the credit at all or maybe pass it on to someone who wants it...
was the 100 euro credit with or without VAT?
I've also had a similar experience. I won a €50 credit from VPSSlim (as mentioned here: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3554967/#Comment_3554967) but haven't received it. I contacted them, waited for two months just in case they are busy with the sales, still no response. It's frustrating when a provider doesn't follow through, even with a simple giveaway. I agree with the new rule above and they shouldn't be allowed to post offers too. Their history of broken promises makes me worry about their paying customers.
steady lads
Based on my own experience and on what I hear from others, I can confirm the non-responsiveness of @VPSSLIM in many instances
Happily, this year, they didn't offer any prizes/awards for the poll (as far as I'm aware), because it only makes them look bad if they offer prizes/awards and then don't actually grant the prizes/awards to the winners (as they did a year ago)
In any case, I don't have much faith in their willingness to improve in these respects
I won on a giveaway and instructed to send email address through DM, but only got silent treatment from certain provider here. I'm not trying to be entitled and just moved on.
Allowing providers to get away with this will only encourage further similar actions
This should be a hall of shame list because many occurrences happen, not giving the price that offered is not cool.
@VPSSLIM isn't @PulsedMedia though?
I must thank @AlexPads for giving my free hosting in few hours.
If providers don't deliver on their promises, then ban them until its paid back in full with an apology.
please update the title accordingly to include both
Fair enough, but since others had already mentioned @VPSSLIM as another example of a provider who didn't award the prizes that they had offered, I simply wanted to add a confirmation of this
That said, you're right, this thread is first and foremost about @PulsedMedia
Somebody start a hall of shame thread under /providers listing these untrustworthy villains
but both are shady?!
I think @yoursunny should take charge for this. He already has a no-IPv6 shame list.
dont put too much strain on them. they are currently injured.
If you check their profile they haven't even commented since Jan 27, so I guess cut them some slack based on that. They'll log in eventually, and I'm sure there's messages waiting for them about this.
A little something to snack on
I was once a @VPSSLIM customer and had some sites and vps from them but the answers were anything but professional and at some point they simply closed my tickets without replying.
Good idea. It's time to do it.
Shitshow hall of shame when?
Any news about @PulsedMedia?
@netguy still nothing?
To be honest, I'd actually forgotten I'd even won this €25 credit. If it doesn't arrive, I guess I won't be trying them after all, so it's just a bungled advertising opportunity.
I think there will more providers which still active on LET but ignored to provide the prize, not only 2 mentioned here
@FAT32 - Can you place a term next year where providers must give the prizes within a reasonable amount of time? i.e. 30 days.
i think that's too much work for him, he cant be responsible for #NoPulse
We should have an no-YABS shame list.
Providers offering VPS services without offering YABS in first post should be there.
