bloody useless american website
grrr, just spent about 15 minutes repeatedly entering and confirming instructions on a website to buy something, only for me to get to the final payment step, and not be able to pay as they only take visa and mastercard, and i only have a switch card on me
DAMMIT
the least they could have done is put a bloody disclaimer on the front page saying that they only take these cards
will have to do it all again tonight now
BLOODY HELL

Re: bloody useless american website
My debit card is a Visa, and so everywhere takes it.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Americans are why you are able to log onto GD and relay knowledge of your boring life. Harsh but true.
True INDEED.

I'm not saying that you have to go back to Alliance Discussions, but you cant stay here. Maybe you could try Planetarion Helpdesk or Roleplaying instead?

Clause 3 : Trolling Clause Trolling for a reaction by posting obscene and/or insensitive information on these boards is not permitted.
Read that, taken from the rules thingy. My post is within these means, maybe treading a thin line, but within the rules, because I do make a point, however the way of expressing it is a tad different from what you're eyes are accustomed to.
In addition, the rules also state to report to an admin if you have a problem with someone. you disobeyed this rule, hence placing yourself closer to getting closed than me.

Sadly, and contrary to your belief, I can post anywhere I feel within the means of the rules.

Then I kindly refer you to the "ignore" option in your User CP. Add my name. The point being is that you DO NOT have to read what I write. Ignore me.

? You post this in vein. My post was stating that I follow the rules. Clause 1 has nothing to do with what I said. But clause 1 is the rules. And my intent was to inform you of them because I know them. I am happy to receive quick and speedy results from the lesson I gave you.
Good job.

Re: bloody useless american website
Fs, everyone knows american sites don't take switch.
I have a MasterCard credit card at home and also a verified* paypal account which can come in handy for transatlantic orders.
* This means I have linked it to a bank account and as such can do instant transfers. It also means they can verify my address, hence the name of the account.

That is true. But it is only true in that, if all Americans (over a non-trivial period of history) had not done exactly what they did, then I wouldn't be here posting on GD (or at least, there would be a very low probability of that). Of course, I don't see why you would bother to post that, but I don't think you'd mind me going round all your posts and saying
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Zimbabweans are why you are able to log onto GD and relay knowledge of your boring life. Harsh but true."

they don't take paypal either, basically, its a site which does very little in the way of actual business, but they have realeased some promo stuff, and thats what i want, especially seeing as the exchange rate is so good at the moment
