@QiqiZine The mod in question is Cym AKA Krolias! Say their name! They have stolen from and delayed fulfilment over 30 other zines! Many of them charity zines!
Protect your customers and contributors! Not the one who's running a ponzi scheme with zines!
And another zine comes forward because of Cym's scamming ways!
Funny enough they never mention Cym/krolias by name. They're practically tripping over themselves to not hold Cym accountable!
❄️ IMPORTANT UPDATE
Hello all, We sincerely apologize for these past months of silence. Since our last post, some new information has come to light and we would like to share an update on the current status of this project. Please see the timeline below: https://t.co/U46poDLxCb
@StickerBunnies Hey! I'm very sorry your friend was scammed! I'm actually not affiliated with this zine at all. I made this post to call them out when it was clear they were going to let the deadline for chargebacks pass.
This right here is part of the problem! Cym's fellow mods keep protecting them and confusing the issue with their own lies!
What's fact is that Cym stole from about 30 zines! Some they took everything from!
If you do the math, they've probably stolen double what Ree did!
@gisweetszine Cym aka Krolias stole the funds of and/or held up production and shipping for about 30 zines across at least 4 fandoms! For some reason all other mods keep protecting them and trying to cover it up. Multiple lies have been told to customers to confuse the paper trail!
@gisweetszine If anyone has received their order please post here to let us know! There's a chance this post is a lie!
This zine isn't being transparent! Their funding has been compromised because their shipping mod went rogue! That's why it's been half a year since their last update!
@asui_tsuyu Thank you for speaking up and looking out for customers when they wouldn't! That can't have been easy but I don't believe they would have acted in time for chargebacks without someone stirring the pot.
🌲 Zine Status Update 🌲
Hello everyone! We apologize for the lack of updates on the state of the zine. Here's a document that summarises our current situation:
🟢 Please read! https://t.co/0IuNpg85Wh
More on the Cym/kroalias situation: the money appears to have been withdrawn JUST prior to Cym telling @/FE3HopesZine they couldn't issue refunds without jeopardizing other projects. So the commingled funds were conveniently misappropriated JUST before any admission of trouble.
Once again, I encourage people to urge the mods to admit actual accountability in joining Cym in 20+ projects.
How long are we going to be ok with repeat “no updates yet” messages.
The money is gone and Cym seems to be paying it out of their day job paycheck to avoid a lawsuit
@SumeruZine If you are checking this post for an update, please consider chargebacking ASAP. The finance mod has lost all of the funds and the mods have not updated us on the situation.
DON’T LET YOURSELF BE SCAMMED! DON’T LET THEM STEAL YOUR MONEY! Do a chargeback now before the time since your order was placed hits 6 months! December marks 6 months since they opened preorders!
If they weren’t in dire straights they should be issuing an announcement to reassure customers but they’re not! They’re ignoring their contributors who are begging for answers! This zine has failed and the mods are protecting Cym with their silence!
This is the reason I mostly stepped away from Fire Emblem zines during the 3H zine boom, and why I was negative about beginner mods running 10+ zines and calling themselves "experienced" before even half of those zines reached fulfillment. I doubt all of these people set out
@MockingbirdZine If you’re not mad that Krolias is taking on more shipping mod roles for other zines, you should be! @Alhaitham_Zine refused to remove Krolias as shipping mod and opened pre-orders today!
