Censorship

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

yessir,.. it was a rather well devised experiment by juancolchado, sound_around (coma_toast), and myself to prove exactly how the mods operate here with a bias to those who have the cash to pad their pockets, or the clout to reciprocate a favor or two, or three, or four. (holic and tommyk are immediate exceptions, though) additionally, it appeared that we were the exception to the rule as our section was trolled by members who willingly supported ant for the alphadump (yep, i was the first to use that line) giveaway in hopes to gain brownie points/free deadener, yet noone was subject to disciplinary action however many times the thread was monitored by staff. we never deleted those posts as we did not believe in hiding what people say, however ill-contrived they could be. it prob didnt help that mot had/has a hard-on for sound_around the whole time... im sure he's still here, too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

part of our reasoning to do so was that we have a very high intolerance to scammers, liars, dipshit wanna-be trolls, vendors/sellers who take advantage to con others, and mods who blatantly abuse their power to pander to the needs of shady folk. still to this day, i am loyal to the members (the good ones) who make up the c/a community to move it forward, and i will do whatever is within my power to expose these people for what they are. trust me, we're the good guys, but ca.com didnt see it that way,.. they had to take the first opportunity to ban juan who used his pp account to buy the section as the means to get rid of him and the section attached to him,..

the funniest thing was, is that mot immediately banned juan (he was the only one on that night) and subsequently had the section later deleted for something i posted in reply to holic while using the vendor account, being that we were partners, and all,.. an intelligent mod would have checked the ip's first and found that that specific post belonged to a verizon ip from chicagoland that matched mine and all of my prior posts' (lo-ki/honkyg), while juan always had an at&t account in the miami area,.. yet i was never banned.

mission accomplished.

waaaaaait for it!,......

There is no way to suggest a Vendor respond to their paid section. That will always be up to the vendor.
As for getting paid, no Mods do not get paid.

They are there to promote their products and answer any customer questions/concerns. If your not active don't pay a website to be a vendor. I did see a rule set like that on a website(thought it was here but apparently not).

I for one would vote for no such rule. I try to be around as much as I can, but demanding my attention when it may be diverted on more pressing matters is not warrantied.

Not to mention, if a rule such as that would be brought out, many vendors would vanish. This means less $$ coming in for Goob. Thus further suggesting it is not a good idea.

your on all the time lol. Can't post a reply to a customer within a week of said question being placed? That is just lazy and bad customer service.

and if money is an issue for goob, then he should not own the d@mn site if he can't afford it without vendors. Therefore your suggestion to my suggestion would be a bad idea....

Um, this site is not gaining profit off a product which is pointless because all music is not recorded at the same level or tone. Goob is making honest profit off of his **** sites.

I agree it is bad customer service, but that is their choice. I can see mandating that maybe vendors need to be active on the forum at least once a month or something.

As for the money, Goob does not "need" it. However, he has this site to make money. Thus all choices that would affect is his bottom line is a business choice. Which normally means leaning in the direction of larger profit margins.

I don't think any argument would be generated if the mods were presented with rules to obide by.
I would like to introduce one right now..... How about..... No mods can have any interaction with users dealing with money. If the mods have items they want to buy / sell ... there are plenty of other fourms that they can do it on.

I can agree with that. Too many PM me thinking I have some magical power to get an item back for them or money back for them from someone who they feel is scamming them. The clear line is really to clean up classifieds threads from post dumping or way off topic BS, but in no way to interject with the deal, it's not our place.

Great, thanks for the opinion. I look forward to you spending more time there, and less here.

I think he's very clearly illustrated that he isn't even going to address it bro.

One things for sure, you've never changed bro. Rock on.

If you mean me, I have nothing to do with a personal transaction between the two parties involved.
