What’s the deal with what I’ve heard about a vend banning people from posting on their thread bc they’ve said things that the vend just doesn’t want in their thread? Like negative experiences.

Im rather naive to whether a vend can band a member or if they need permission from admin or if they go to an admin to request someone be banned? I remember being banned for a minute a vend’s 🩺 now DEFUNCT thread for telling the truth. At the time he had such a well-curated shill club that my complaint likely stood out as being the crazy one - but he was soon exposed for the abusive person he was.

Anyway my real point is people are being banned from a well known international vendor thread for posting reviews that may not be so positive. The mix of reviews in his thread are so hot and cold already.

The censorship of reviews (barring the ones that are just relentless rants and spew way too much info), is unacceptable. People make purchasing decisions based on reviews (unfortunately, some only use reviews to make decisions). Don’t do that. Reviews are sometimes shaped out of fear, intimidation, etc. because people who are ill and dependent and vulnerable aren’t as forthcoming as they would like to be for fear of being cut off. It’s those very people who need to see honest reviews the most.

I wish there was a way to create an anonymous review method but I’m afraid that may be abused in a different way. Perhaps one day admin/mods can decide on a group of trusted long time members that can leave anonymous reviews that others can read and there will be less concern about upsetting a vend. And maybe, just maybe, something could change for the better. If I my slightly.

Of course there would be biases involved to a certain degree but I’m sure the benefits outweigh the risks. We need a safe space. Just an idea for the future.

In the meantime it’s not right that a vend can ban someone from posting their experience. No one wants to tarnish a good vends reputation for the hell of it. And Im not gonna call out this vend bc it’s not hard to figure out if you’ve been around. But it’s just not cool. We shouldn’t feel powerless here or scared to speak up.

These are just my thoughts. I’ve seen tons of comments here and there that echo my sentiments so I thought i would just open things up for discussion if you want to add anything.

Thank you for listening. Be safe. Talk to people. Don’t put too too much weight on reviews. PM’s sometimes tell a different story.

This is not entirely correct, to start vendors can not ban members. Negative feedback is not deleted unless there is a continuous flooding of thread with the same issue. Positive and negative experiences are both welcome, that’s why this forum is around.

There is no need to post the same over. To maintain the order and avoid clogging of topics, repeated bickering on same post will get you banned from the topic. These things should first try to get solved by emailing/PM vendors, if not settled a follow up post is acceptable.

It is a two way street here, vendors are also blackmailed for freebies, discounts, refunds etc., and threatened with negative feedback for whatever reason. There are two sides to every story and the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle.

Everyone is encouraged to speak up as long as the reviews are genuine.

  3. N @ nickelz34: I am an opal sponsor where do I find the password for the pass protected section ?
  4. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: whereas if I use fiat to buy something the money is green anyway. Monero does this really well. Anyway rant over, you can DM me if you'd like to talk more about cryptos.
  5. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: I don't really think that people understand the whole point of cryptos in the first place anymore. BTC just won't be adopted by governments because the transactions are too public and what's worse, money that is freshly minted is better than money that has been used. Like if my btc was used for something that was illegal does that mean the money is "poisoned"?
  6. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: @xenxra Yeah, Like I said I've never really been that fond of btc, it isn't used as a currency, just as a place for people to invest money in, even though the whole purpose of btc was to be a currency. If it doesn't fulfill that role, what does? Monero certainly does.
  7. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: What's good guys! Just got back home. Missing football today :( Fuck the probowl lol
  8. shoutback @ shoutback: Volkanovski is the greatest featherweight of all time. Better than Aldo or Holloway at their peaks.
  9. S @ sawganaut: I bet btc bottom is in
  10. D @ dragnetopher: No, I don’t think it. I know it. And it’s not just bitcoin, it’s all crypto. And like I said, they’re selling to acquire liquidity for when countries truly start utilizing what’s been set in place. The USD is under controlled demolition as we speak. This is all part of it.
  11. xenxra @ xenxra: there is no shortage of whales - https://tikolu.net/i/fmnru.png
  12. xenxra @ xenxra: tokenisation is not a plan its already been happening for months, ive been trading this whole move on silver through ethereum
  13. xenxra @ xenxra: you think whales are dumping bitcoin because of something everyone has known about for like 4 years? what does bitcoin liquidity have to do with trading tokenized assets? they don't have pooled liquidity.
  14. D @ dragnetopher: Whales are tanking BTC due to the fact that the future is coming now, literally. There’s a plan to tokenize every single asset possible. This is whales dumping so they can have liquidity for the Springtime.
  15. xenxra @ xenxra: @Gulp2788 this is a terrible spot to buy bitcoin haphazardly because it's going down another $5k -$7k if 80,000 doesn't hold. i told everyone to get the fuck out of bitcoin at $103k. it's better to buy late when the bottom is more certain than throw darts and act like the opposite outcome was unavoidable just because it went down "a lot" and everyone seems to be "freaking out". wait for it to get back over 85k
  16. xenxra @ xenxra: @aarons the last time i said monero was on discount in here it went up 5x in 3 months
  17. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: good opportunity to buy more btc if you are gonna do so imo, me I'm buying the btc to switch into better currencies
  18. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: bah politics, no need to worry BTC is a honeypot anyway
  19. fishladder @ fishladder: down since trump
  20. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: btc has been hovering around 90k for a year everyone is freaking out tbh I am laughing
