First and foremost Mods feel free to delete this post but it will also be posted on /r/redditfakeids and will be updated with proof of deletion from /r/FakeID if that happens. I'm blowing the whistle this time around and loud.
I am creating this post because I'm getting pissed off at how mod run group buys are slowly tearing this subreddit apart. This all started with Tumblr's 2 botched group buys (LaserID and IDGod) that left a large amount of users without IDs or refunds for months with little to no updates. Now it seems as if Novelty's group buys have gone to shit too, I have seen a large ammount of users complain but the threads always mysteriously disappear (cough cough mods delete them like so http://imgur.com/MYnwMvN).
This poll was inspired by some comments on another one of my threads http://imgur.com/q7XNmgS, I think TedDanzigSR put it perfectly where the conflict of interest lies.
I took it apon myself to send an email to IDGod to find out roughly how much he charges Mods on the group buys that they turn around and sell to you. It turns out he sells all the IDs for $35 each (Though I once heard Novelty gets them for $25, no proof of that though) http://imgur.com/cy3u4Sf.
So this means Mods make at least $2,250 per 150 people they bring to IDGod. I think Novelty has had 3 group and Tumblr 1 which roughly puts total profits around $9,000. If this isn't conflict of interest I don't know what is.
Mods should be in place to keep the sub in line, remove spam, stop scamming vendors and so on. This is exactly what happens when a bunch of college kids get their hands on black market, it goes to shit.
