The Other Place is at it again

. . . and I bet anything if he had asked about AW batteries instead, the thread would be open and people would be singing the praises . . . even though there are numerous threads, etc.

Id like to make the owners of the forum aware of the idiot mod and what he is doing/saying to others. Any ideas who I can contact?

The owner is in it strictly for the money. She doesn't care. Her posts are some of the most offensive of all

The mod is doing exactly what the owner wants him to do. That's the culture there. But the good thing is, that's also why there is this forum.

As long as they are making money, NOTHING will change and if the owner does the same thing then there in NO chance whatsoever that it will change.

Here's another one which I thought was funny and was going to comment on but when I got to the bottom, it was closed. He was just showing something funny and did not even mention who the business was but most would have been able to figure it out.

I think a lot of closures and deletions depends on their moods and probably just because THEY CAN do it. That's just sad.

Here's one I'm watching that will probably be closed soon. I wonder how much longer it will last?

You are quite right brted. If you link to an american vendor it stays there forever, but if its to DX or KD hell breakes loose.

Brilliant, I love the smell of fresh sarcasm in the morning

CPF, i really don't like there, here is much better, and the administrator is niceTongue out

If further clarification is needed take it up privately or discuss it in the UG.
Thread Closed. Laughing

And it only took 1 more day.

Note the key words in the reply which are all about the money as usual.

"

The policy was established some time back primarily because of shills posting "hey look at this". "Has anyone seen this light?" Before long some threads had become virtual shopping experience threads with members joining in and posting every new light they found. The links primarily pointed to two sites which turned them into advertising threads inviting more shills from those sites. It wasn't until after the policy went into effect that those sites started actually supporting CPF. Their own customer service issues eventually (mostly) halted their forum participation."

Oops, Surefire dit it again :)

Can't we all just get along? :D

No

Edit:

Good one. :D

I just got banned from cpfmarketplace presumably by posting in a thread about those "solarfarce" lights at lightake:

http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?t=234297

They deleted several later comment from me about how the santimony is unjustified and how hk retailers work; and the reason for ban is "ignoring moderation" (of which I can see none in the thread, probably deleted but I guess they expect you to know all deleted comments ).

As if we really needed to drive home how small minded these cpf admins are...

This is not about shilling really, it is about paying your Danegeld to Sasha. Why doesn't eveyone leave? It is so glaringly obivious that this is Clearly Profit Focussed at its worst again. And again

And again!

Does this mean the tools loyal to her now get banned for their blatant shilling? Or do we add hypocrisy to the long list of appropo descriptors?

It is an ambiguous post, there is the real concern with shills but reading the whole post it looks like there could either be some monetary motivation and/or plain old overzealousness behind the concern. I just can't see how the forum will get money out of having fewer shills, could someone enlighten me?
