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

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

No, but images are reduced to 640 pixels in width if they are bigger than that
(AFAIK, height is not limited).

No. I saved the edited file as a png, it will not degrade as much as a jpg does
when saving it over and over and over again.
Attached is an extreme example, you would not want to use this for much.

Hi
Unless you are a 13 year old girl getting emails from a 40 year old man trying
to set up a meeting, the police do not take it seriously. "I am being harassed
on-line about some Lego." You really think the police here would be all
that concerned? America is really under staffed all over with police officers.
There is a finite number officers and there is a plethora of complaints. "Which
call should we go to and investigate, the one where the wife was being beaten
by her husband or the guy that is getting harassed by email over some child's
toys?"
Can you see how silly that is? If I was the police taking the call I would say
"Suck it up buttercup."

When it comes to that, the origin of the feud doesn’t matter (“his great-great-grandfather

So, not knowing more, I don’t believe it should be advised to “forget it.” Those

if what happens to you doesn’t fit in, you don’t fill the form, or your complaint
is dropped. Again, not the same as wasting police time.
