Sorry for the long post :(
I have had an ongoing issue with
Cybertron. It is EV-training related, similar to Dark_Ryu's issue not too long ago.
The first day I opened by trade thread Cybertron agreed to EV train for me.
Cybertron offering to EV for me. (8/1/09)
Me confirming that Cybertron is EV training for me. (8/1/09) - I no longer have the PMs of our arrangement but he was supposed to EV rotom with 6 different spreads. We agreed iirc he could keep a copy of each and receive 2.5 credits. Again I don't have proof for this but I'm 99% sure this is how it was sorted out.
(Around 8/5/09) I don't have any proof for this either but I remember asking him in a PM when I could pick up my Rotom and he said Saturday (the 8th). I'm pretty sure I checked back then but I don't remember what the excuse was. Obviously I didn't get it back.
Me asking Cybertron in his thread to check his inbox. (8/10/09) He responded to two others but didn't acknowledge me, and I don't recall ever receiving a PM from him.
(Sometime between 8/10 and 8/20/09) Again no proof, but Cybertron said the training was done. We didn't trade whenever I asked him during this time
because he was/was going out of town.
So when he was back I asked via PM:

During the time I was on he wasn't. This was later on during the week when I saw he was online:

Hey-I have been experiencing some Wi-Fi problems recently so I don't think I can trade to you right now. I'm sorry for the delay, and I will let you know ASAP when my Wi-FI is back up. Thanks!
Ok, if I remember correctly I will owe you 2.5 credits?

He never responded back to my last question.
His wifi issues are confirmed by some of his responses on the bottom of page 9 and top of page 10 in his trade thread. In his sig he had a note saying he was having wifi issues and couldn't trade.
His wifi evidently started working again and he traded with other people, as seen on the next few pages of his thread (pgs. 11-12). He failed to keep his word that he would contact me ASAP when he could trade, as seen in the bolded writing in the above PM.
Once again I posted in his thread when we were both online. He of course ignored me and got offline soon after I posted without even acknowledging my post. My post is edited from something else I had said that was of a harsher tone. I offered the following PM regarding this:
(9/4/2009) - I pm'd him (below) when he was online and yet again he failed to respond and got offline.

I'm sorry about my post in your thread, I was just frustrated at the time, and I realize that you have other stuff to do and life is
alot more important than pokemon. So yeah. I can trade now if you can, but if you're busy or anything that's ok. Again, sorry if I came across angry.
================================================== ==============================
(9/7/2009) I again PM'd him when he was online and he didn't respond:

Hey Cybertron, can you trade now?
Overall I don't think Cybertron is a mean person but I can't help but wonder what the heck is going on. It has now been over a month since he took the job, and this has gone on long enough.
The most annoying and aggravating issue to me is that it has always been me pushing the issue, not Cybertron. I, the one who gave out the job, have been the one having to repeatedly ask if he could trade. Not once has he come to me saying Rotom was done. Isn't that how it's supposed to work? And every time he as responded to me it was to say he
couldn't trade. He has even ignored me on #smogonwifi. As Dark-Ryu said, he really does play with your time.
I know it's not a big deal to the community and that it only involves two members (Three if you include Dark-Ryu), but I feel that no one should have to go through this.
Moral of story - Don't let Cybertron train anything for you. He messes with your time and it's not worth the trouble.
I would really appreciate it if this could be sorted out soon. Thanks for listening and for any course of action taken to help sort this out.
P.S. Cybertron if you see this, I don't really want Rotom back now, I'll train it myself. Thanks.
