This all that remains from a review of a particular shop I had experience with. Some DB i-club staff member felt as though the relationship with the said shop was more important than allowing others to view it's content.
This move makes every review in that particular forum absolutely meaningless. It's no wonder why there are a couple shops with 0 negative feedback. They can just cut a deal with the staff and have the thread deleted which in it's own right is against policy as this forum states it does not delete threads. Those of you who know what I'm talking about will remember quite well. Those of you who don't "too F'n bad". Apparently these shops have more interest in protecting their reputation than they do preventing negative experiences.

 

rut row

 

Giving priority to the reputation of "paying shops" is retarded. The only reason i-club is able to get money from the shops is because of us members. Without us members, there is no reason for the shops to pay i-club, meaning i-club will get less money. And I'm sure a lot of the core users will drop off if the management turns to NASIOC tactics like this.

 

I see the post you made in the good morning thread, and then that takes you to your full review of FLI

what was edited?

 

calm down before people need to grab pitchforks and torches.

i-Club has always stated that we will never interfere with users reviews of products and vendors, nothing like what happens on Nasioc.

show me what was edited and I will look into it.

 

oh nm.. I see what happened.

I think it got dumped due to some of the content in the thread itself, not your review. Let me see what needs to be done and see if we can return the review to public view.

 

I apologize for rabble rousing so quickly. I have a lot of work to get done and am procrastinating.

 

Yea it was locked for normal users..

but yay

 

so this is what I see



Wingless moved it to lockup, and then back to public view, and then Alex came along and put it back in lockup.

This happened almost 4 years ago, and there was no influence (as far as I know of) from current vendors to move the thread. We would need to talk to Alex to be sure.

We would be more than happy to remove the offending remarks in the thread and put it back in general view if you would still like the review to be posted.

also, any reason why it took almost 4 years for this to be noticed?

 

Douchebag i-club staff member checking in. How may I help you today?

 

 

See, this guy knows!

Jeff, seriously - if it's an issue for you, we'll bring the review back. It was moved before I was even a mod, and Alex and Alan aren't even with the site anymore. We're talking 4 years, so I figured it was a moot point.

 

It's not like it's something I want to bump everyday but, when someone asks about an experience with a shop and you go to look for it and it's been deleted or whatever there's gonna be a few questions. And you're damn right it should be restored.


Ahh to hell with it...

 

MOD SASS! no but seriously, there are some mods (SYBIR!) that i would vote off this internet island... but theres no point fighting it.

plus getting a temp ban allows you to get lots of work done.

 

hence "Ahh to hell with it."

Point is amongst all of my babble, If any thread needs to stand the test of time it should be review threads.
