I dont think he was ever actually a customer, he never made it that far cause his details were all wrong etc so an account was never issued from what i can tell.. so he is now just some random person trolling our forums.. GET HIM GUYS! *charge*

Just to clearify a few things, his original forums account was not turned off and he was not a paying Linode customer, he signed up for a Linode but was not satisfied with our activation process.

en, thank u, my account is available for using at this forum.

This is absolutely not true in my case, so watch the "we" stuff. I am mocking him and making fun of him *after* reading his rude luser posts.

Heh - I'm not interested in getting into a flame war here, but that statement sheds much light on your character. Despite the public aspect of this forum, Linode *is* a legit business - I'd expect that caker et. al. would perfer that we err on the side of respect for the customers and potential customers. Both you and I know that the language barrier played a large role in the (mis)communication between this customer and the linode folks. Yes, many of the OP's statements came off as rude - that doesn't make it right to mock him.

I admit i have little experience of dealing with such a specific sitiuation, but your stuff becomes downright unfriendly (the same no reponse) before my rude posts.

This discussion isn't going anywhere...I'm done here.

zhaoke, i'm a chinese, and i understand ur concern, but i doubt you will get refund from them since they ain't doing things wrongly.

try use a credit card from a foreign bank, i remember i had my account setup without a hassle.

zhaoke wasn't looking for a refund - he couldn't or wouldn't go through the activation process required for opening an account using a credit card that has been rated as high-risk by Linode's transaction processor - so he didn't get signed up.
