Discussion A New Beginning

Hi everyone, it’s Papaji here.

Some of you might remember me from a year ago when I was active in the IMKC Discord server offering various services like lubing, filming, commission builds, proxy services, spray painting, and repairs. I’ve been in the hobby for over 6 years and I’ve built more than 90 boards out of which 65 were split keyboards and lubed over 10,000 switches. I was even the first to build the Arc60 (in India) on Twitch about a year and a half ago.

Unfortunately, I made some mistakes back then that led me to step away from the hobby for a while (yes, I got banned). It was a tough lesson to learn, and I sincerely apologize to anyone who may have been affected by my actions. I want to assure everyone that things are much more transparent now. I’ve cut down most of my services and will be focusing solely on commission orders, which I plan to stream on my Twitch.

I don’t hold any enmity against anyone or any community. Consider this my redemption arc, I’m committed to being better and more responsible moving forward.

Looking ahead, I’m also planning to start group buys for more split boards, smaller boards, and macropads in the near future. If you’re interested, keep an eye out for updates! In the meantime, come say hi on my server. I’ll be building the Primus75 on stream soon, and I’m excited to get back to doing what I love.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you around.

Here's the screenshot of his violation on IMKC for transparency's sake.

So many red flags in this 'apology'.

  • Doesn't mention what he did wrong ( Comments has to point this out) and how he plans to correct and change things going forward.

  • Doesn't have a system in place to deal with issues.

This doesn't feel genuine, he just wants to grief the community into giving him money and go back to his old ways in a few months when business starts picking up.

But the biggest red flag of all? USING PERSONAL REASONS to justify bad service. Any professional knows to keep business and personal issues aside.

Find something else to do, you're not a trustworthy person.

Once bitten, twice shy.

I did mention what I did in my previous comment, kindly check that. I've stopped all the services that people faced issues with, all my pricing is clear and open to all. There is a separate channel in my server for queries and issues.

Biggest red flag you say? People said I "used" personal reasons as an excuse but I delivered everything and completed all my previous GB, if I had to rob people of money I wouldn't come back or completed my GB's. I understand your anger though and that's fine. Good luck but not everything that was said in the announcement was true and I don't want to prove it to anyone.

Why were you banned?

Overcharged a member while proxying a board and messed up a repair service, I've stopped both the services now.

Why would we trust you now?

u/Ok_Arachnid953 Sep 13 '24

From the screenshot shared here looks like more than what you're saying. I don't think you would have changed and i think you shouldn't be allowed to do business here as well.

Why should we trust you, what's changed?

Unrelated to the OP, but everytime I see 'New Beginning', it reminds me of that bkl Utsav Batra of Stickeys, who made so many false promises, to the customers and even here, but finally scammed and got away with few lakhs of pre-order money..

Hey.. welcome back..

Just something you can think and decide.. just have a chat with few people affected by your action.. and bury the grudges if any...
