Hi from Downunder

Hi Shane,

I wasn't banned. I respectfully resigned. I spent many tens of thousands of USD there. I still have goods in transit. Generally speaking as I write this, they were smooth transactions to the penny! When you tender your membership resignation, you get banned for life & forfeit your dues. Some unwritten forum rule apparently, & is the owner's prerogative when all is said.

I resigned because of moderation reasons including being moderated without notification, having some of my posts edited without notification, told not to post on certain threads as well as not to post about certain topics. Of course the underlying reasons for my opinions being targeted were that of commerciality & sponsorship weight. Some of my opinions may have been incompatible with the forum's marketing machine. As a customer, I was offended & those frustrations began to reflect a little in my posts which is out of character for me. Not my business to argue how he chooses to run his forum, so, I thought it best to remove myself from that rather than burn his manicured lawn. Upon PMing my resignation without prejudice, I was swiftly banned.

There are quite a few plays going on there including alleged incentivised posting activities by a minority group of membership. In my view, it is no longer the Friendly Forum.

Hopefully, I can answer your questions here!

Cheers

Steve

Well welcome to AS Steve.

That was a pretty sad read..... Moderators and their decisions can make or break forums - but alleged incentivised posting activities -- wow, that is seriously scary if true.

Anyway, you have arrived at a better place. Good for you.

Thanks again for the welcomes. Pleased to be here.

Steve - I saw you mention Vicoustics. My pallet of 30 panels arrive today (thank you Jeff W. at AV Solutions). Most will be to treat my angled ceiling. How did you hang them? Any photos? Perhaps you can start a new thread.

Mike...Awesome. You'll love them. Will do.

We live in a funny world; on one side it is beautiful, on the other, well, not so beautiful. ...And it has to do as much with nature as it does with human nature.

At the end it's always about money, power, control. It is truly sad; not our planet and the beautiful people, but some of its inhabitants.

Welcome Steve! As a member of that other site and a relatively new participant here, I too appreciate the difference.

Shane...that has been my strategy. I have not renewed my membership since last fall. I occasionally peruse the site still as there are still a few members on there I enjoy interacting with. The rest of it is a big drag. I am sure my time will come though

Time is on our side, and it will come.
