@7bit About your mail problems...
While setting up the new dt server, google started rejecting mail from my test domain as spam almost right away, because I had no reverse dns for the sending server domain set in a ptr record. I set it, and after a couple of days gmail received the mails, but flagged them as spam. Other destinations received mail without problem. I needed to set a spf record in the dns to fix gmail's flagging. So google ptr and spf for more info, there are also sites to test your sending domain for any problems. Both are mechanisms to make sure spammers cannot use your domain to sent stuff, and mail servers are getting more strict about this.

I'm getting asleep so that may be the reason why I didn't see that 7Bit

I think you got to the bottom of this

The plastic/silver/gold/platinum status only affects the color of your club member's funny hat, which must be mandatory worn.

What the hell is wrong with the system?

Paid my membership money and today i get another invoice...

@Broadmonkey, akuji13.
Payments were received, ignore the greedy bot!

Edit: nevermind

It does tell you how much was received...

Though the message felt bit like extortion...

Posted: **03 Oct 2013, 10:48**

Nice way to start a new club...
Instead of a welcoming message I get another request for money.
Thank you very much!

A public list of club members usernames (and number) would really help here. Regularly updated, like the Members page on the forum. Every GB with 7bit's bots seems to turn a little Skynet for whatever reason…

Agreed. I've had like 3 or 4 emails now from the bot (only one today though).
Need some peace of mind

Nope, it tells me exactly the same like the first invoice.

Are you sure?
This is the email I got:

Please pay as USD? I've never seen that either. All my communications with the CherryMX bot have been in Euros.

Posted: **03 Oct 2013, 12:18**

Weird. Looks like 7Bit hasn't heard of the rule to never deploy code in production before testing

Posted: **03 Oct 2013, 12:19**

Well what I meant was that I have paid (I think), but I don't have the block saying that I have paid. If I don't get my funny hat I'm going to throw a huge tantrum.

Posted: **03 Oct 2013, 12:34**

really... can we set up a more user friendly payment system?

I can help you with that if needed...

SEPA Payment takes some time to arrive. Don't know if acfrazier's list is up to date.

acfrazier lives in the USD world, so I had to change that.

CherryMX is a totally different thing.

About the "NO GIFT!!! NO GIFT!!! NO GIFT!!! NO GIFT!!!".... I'm about to pay with PayPal, but I don't see anything mentioning "gift". I seem to recall there used to be something that said "send as gift", but now there's only "I'm paying for goods or services" or "I'm sending money to family or friends". I was going to use the "sending money to friends" thing, but want to make sure it's... NO GIFT!!! NO GIFT!!! NO GIFT!!! NO GIFT!!!

Posted: **03 Oct 2013, 14:00**

The gift option is only available in some countries anyway. Unless you selected gift somewhere it isn't a gift

Posted: **03 Oct 2013, 14:05**

No, family or friends = gift, surely. Go with goods or services. Works for me. (With the "totally different thing" CherryMX bot anyway.)

Posted: **03 Oct 2013, 14:12**

I do not want my name and the amount I paid to be published.
If anybody had cared to ask me, I would have refused. This option exists when donating to DT. Why not here?

Please delete at leat my user name from the list.

OK, "goods or services" it is. I don't want to be accused of sending a gift. I can imagine somebody saying "Bloody hell, mate - you sent it as a gift!! No membership for you!!" If that happened, my rage would explode and I'd turn into a green hulking monster with ripped clothes (but my pants would stay on). Then I'd go on a rampage and not stop until Deskthority is a smouldering ruin... broken switches and keycaps everywhere.

Posted: **03 Oct 2013, 14:21**

In the membership list, it looks to me as if those who had paid on a limit for a membership by PayPal but not gifted it still got the higher level of membership even though DT received a lower amount because of PP fees.

Kudos!

... not that level means anything in real life, but anyway.

Edit:
kbdfr: Beware the Streisand Effect ...

BTW, I had intended to pay the exact amount that DT received. Bank transfer.

Whoa there... calm down... don't want you to hulk out too.

I wanted to be #50, but got lousy stinking 48. Maybe I should have waited for 500 - to go with my username.
