Censorship

[West]

Ok, so the Skar thread is closed again. I am not going to complain, just going to say I am not going to give this forum another dime of my money. That thread informed a lot of people on how Kevin conducts his business. I know of at least 10 people who personally wrote me thanks for warning them about the issues posted there.

Polite questions:

1) Why was it closed?

2) Is starting another thread acceptable?

Thanks...

I closed it. Kevin PM'd me and asked me to re-close it since Goob had, and he wasn't sure why it was re-opened. As you know, Im recently returned. I honestly have no clue whats going on, so I agreed to close it and post on the mod forum asking someone else with knowledge to let me know whats up. To address your concern about censorship directly, mods do have the option to delete threads, rather than just close them, so keep that in mind. Thanks.

A question for you to take back to the Mod forum.....

Will this site continue to protect a vendor who has been known and proven to have shady business practices because he is willing to pay for a membership at the cost of the community?

My will to shed light on Kevin's failings as a business person will over come. Kevin has 0 ethics and 0 humility, in time I hope he will give me the apology I has requested, publicly in addition to a promise to clean up his act.

This includes him stopping the harassment and threats to this forums members. That alone is enough to drive me.

Association with Skar isn't something I would want on my conscience. I have no doubt in my mind that Kevin is putting significant pressure on them to close the threads and try to suppress this. The threads aren't deleted, great, but no will will see them if they aren't actively discussed. This is CLASSIC Kevin, ignoring the issue instead of making it right.

This question was brought before over another situation with a vendor. The basic answer passed down was, Goob has the final say in vendor status. That means he decides who can or can not be a vendor.

With that said, I'm sure that the Mods can discuss various things with Goob in the "back room" and who knows of those results. I just know that the mods can not be held accountable for all that transpires here such as vendor status.

If that is the case I will open up "SKAM Audio" on this site. A not for profit group that informs users of shady business practices.

Lol... wow is all I can say, so admins and goob shut it down?

Well what ended up happening here was the orignial SKAR thread was closed. So multiple new SKAR threads were made and consolidated into SKAR audio crap. Well once all the threads were put together, the SKAR audio crap theard was then closed. Affectively eliminating any way of posting on the topic.

I am not saying that this was intentional, just how it happened.
