Poll closed. Thanks for voting! BTW, I’m down to 4 rude points 
Unless your Aussie every thing i say is rude hahahaha
You’ve never said anything rude in my book. In real life, I curse like a drunken sailor. I try to keep myself in control around here. I’m not perfect, never claimed to be. I do try though.
Edit: I never use foul language in front of my family. They wouldn’t put up with it. I only do it front of my low life friends….lol!
My latest rude point: More than I dreamed it would be. The Acebeam L16 XHP35 HI. - #7 by sp5it

Mike, that was beyond rude! lol!
The MAP police are out in force!
Would you believe I just got a rude mark for this comment? I guess the person who left it didn’t know I was kidding. Such is life.
We work in secret. You’ll never find us, but victim or perpetrator, if your number’s up…we’ll find you.
Schnauzer snitcher. :partying_face:
Ok, now say it ten times fast.
With a big lump of 70% dark chocolate melting on my tongue? No way josé!
Haha! Nomnomnomnom… :partying_face:
Loved that show, too bad it ended…
On another note, Supbeam (AKA Acebeam) is a shady @$$ company. There is a reason I ended all ties with them. Was great in the beginning, got a few awesome deals lined up for the forum, things were going good. Introduced them to some good buyers… then they started handing off deals that I made to Vinh. I would negotiate deals, then they would not honor them because HE wanted the deals. Then they wanted me to set up a fake account to start shilling the forum.
Just want to add, only reason Vinh got lined up with Supbeam was because of me and the deals I worked out. Kind of a sour taste in my mouth

My most recent “RUDE” post…
Pretty sure that was a praise, but oh well
/\…. Amazing… :person_facepalming: … …./\
Oh, I actually know the story behind that one… it wasn’t me, but someone ranted to me about it.
Some people find it rude to complain about prices higher than Chinese price levels. I think they were probably over-reacting, but I guess it was a thing which had been bugging them for quite a while. In western countries, it’s completely impossible to compete with Chinese pricing, and the “budget” expectation tends to put off western folks who make lights at western prices.
I must admit I do that a bit too. I’ve been spoiled by all the cheap-but-good stuff we get manufactured in places where it’s inexpensive to do so. Several BLF projects produced lights which cost less at retail price than the cost of building a similar light from parts, and after a while I get accustomed to getting everything for such good prices. It starts to feel normal and the western pricing starts to feel like a rip-off. But really, western pricing is generally fair while Chinese pricing is practically a steal.
I have had work done by VoB, paid a pretty penny to have a rare-ish color 2d mag chopped, re threaded, and possibly bored out (cant remember) to fit a 26650, and make a heatsink/pill to fit it. Praised his work on several ocassions. Pretty sure that was over $100.
Was hoping that light would have been sub $100 when I first saw him post about it, and in my current situation I can not justify it at the price he needs.
Either way, the rude mark dont effect me in the long run. Just dont see how that ended up getting marked for it, unless it was a user that may or may not have something else against me…
Edit: especially an older post such as that
+1
And that rude mark is gone already…
Edit: I understand sometimes people may overreact or get upset over “little” things. I have a tendency to do it lately myself. But a PM or mention in the thread “Hey, that is kind of rude” may get an explanation OR I may agree and delete said post.
I found lately that little things dealing with over seas dealers here have been getting to me and I overreact myself. I tend to get p!$$y and rant. Probably larger things IRL venting out… My last rude mark was one, and I woke up, went and deleted it.
Improper description on my OL A01s was another… stupid NMM got to me, and contact them and their response is “it turns on in next mode everytime, so no problem no memory” p!$$3d me off, and probably overreacted a little.
We are all human, and sometimes people say stupid stuff, or sometimes its just taken out of context. Sometimes it is obvious that someone is being rude, and that is what the “RUDE” button is made for, IMO…
I just feel stupid little things like this, said offended person should just speak up, let said person know why you felt that way and maybe explain it. Many cultures here, and things can be taken out of context very easy.
But, like I said, in the long run that rude mark does not effect me… just irks me a little to see it for something that was a praise
I currently have 5 rude marks in my meter. Have no idea where they came from and I could really care less. But if I have offended someone, they should call me out in a thread or pm. I know someone was really pissed at me last week and called me a fascist prick. I think he is still marking me rude. Let people have their little rude button, if it makes someone feel better when they don’t have the nuts to call the person out, they can get the last word so to say with the rude button.
On the other hand why not have a “Like” button for folks to give good marks for something they like. Currently people insert a thumbs up emoji. This may have been suggested before, I didn’t read every post in the thread, so….
