Vector, the winner.

Nubs is a lost cause.  Don’t read his messages, use a text2speech program and
close your eyes.

… Though you need one that can cope with his smileys

Probably a tennager drop shipper who sold 1 thing somehow for $5 (less then .50

Maybe BL could apply a filter so that any user IDs containing the letter sequence
gummies get auto deleted, or their posts go straight to cancelled.

I was thinking the same things or maybe have to moderate any new changes
made to about me pages if the have links in them

  Or better still, replace the term gummies with megabloks in all posts.

It's just absurd how people are trying to advertise on such an obscure forum,
what's the point?

They get paid when they make public posts, not when the posts are really read?

How is this saved as a .png since it doesn't degrade when saving over and
over like .jpg

Even better... When you have a vector file, let it remain a vector file.

It can be printed sharp at any size

Vector files are the best.

True, however BL does not allow scalable vector graphics (svg) files. An, sometimes,
when converting from jpg/png to svg some colors may be lost.

  Purchased an minifig for about 12SGD from this local seller (Tuahbui) about 2
years ago.

He sent the wrong item and I informed him about it. Initially he accept that
it is his fault. However, he decided to change his words after I told him to
collect it back or refund the return shipping fees.

Things escalated to PayPal. And PayPal decided to do a refund to me. Yet this
seller has been sending harassments mails for the past 2 years or so. Words which
are demeaning and highly offensive. Calling me names and label me as a scammer.

The details were sent to the admin here but nothing was done. The stop-list doesnt
work too.

How do I go about it?

Am about to file a defamation suit soon.

Read all the comments. In short, case is 'closed'. Bricklink admin got
involved and told the other party to stop contacting me.

Things would be easier if there is a block chat function.

And to some who have misread.. I do not reach out to him more than 90% of his
message. FYI, his message is no less than 100 over the 2 years. Sending nasty
emails to me especially on public holidays such as New year, Christmas and so
on. In any case, no reason for me to reply him unless his message is way overboard.

Harassment be it online or in person is a serious thing at least in Singapore.

Thanks to all who gave helpful advice.

=)

You are not doing anything wrong. When you go to do the edit, I would recommend
saving it as a .png instead of a .jpg
