helping a fellow anandtecher out... croton
heres his testimony..
I don?t understand why I was banned for a week here.
The mod PM?ed me, stating that I wasn?t courteous to the other forum members. My comment isn?t nearly as harsh as comments made by many other members of this forum. For instance, check out this thread
In the Hot Deals Forum Rules, it talks about courtesy.
In the last rule, it says:
<< When are negative comments allowed?
?If you know a "deal" is a scam.
?If the post contains improper links, such as click-through referrals, etc. If you know a better link for the same deal, post it in the thread.
?If there is any other reason to warn others about an offer or link. For example, many sites offering free magazine subscriptions have been known to continue billing credit cards long after the subscription was cancelled. Also, if you know a vendor has a bad reseller rating, you are doing your fellow members a favor by warning them. >>
I knew this deal was a scam for SURE. I caught a past troll (Sam Greene, z0r, w4d3) and he acknowledged that he worked at GPSCOMPUTERS.COM. He told me that the owner was a scammer. This is first hand knowledge.
Also, TONYH and I did some research on gpscomputers.com, and he came up with the BBB Company Reliability Report
In all the GPS laptop computer threads, I posted this information and told them that it was a scam. I even posted a topic in Forum Issues about this. No one listened. So they come back after I gave them proof and started to complain about it.
What I don?t understand is that I tried to warn the forum members about this 100% scam, and I get banned for it because I simply told them that they were idiots for not listening to the information I gave them. I did all I could to warn them short of taking their wallets away.
