Problematic Team Members.
Published February 22, 2013
Alright guys, I'm very sad. Hopefully in this article you can relate and keep me in your thoughts OR find some helpfulness. We recruited a team member who had a team. He has a very talented team member with him, and when I asked for work, he showed me the good guys work. Since then, we've discovered that he does no work and mooches off of others. So we fired him. He has since spammed our forums with complete lies. We then showed a proof of purchase, showing that he was lying about us using HIS assets. Now, he's been private messaging me and telling people on our facebook that we've shut down. Thankfully, there was only one facebook fan and we'll create a new one soon. We cut advertising for the old one. See the forum here:

Anyway, he's Backwardsstudios if you want. He should be banned soon anyway :D. Anyway, it's very troubling, but he's done more damage to himself now, he has no power :). Anyway, here are our tips!
- Do your research. Make sure this guy is legit. Do google image searches for stuff similar to the work he shows you.
- Ask many questions, don't be afraid.
- Make sure he's not a jerk when you hire him.
That's all I can say, thanks guys. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
1. Do not discuss this in the public. It sounds like cat fights, not like a professional team.
2. Use a NDA and sue him next time
