I had put this all behind me, then this...
I just had a conversation with John Cromer aka jfc (moderator) from the other forum while on the facebook page. He was defending himself and his actions towards the members he mistreated. A word of caution, he will surely read this so if you care about getting in trouble on the other forum, be careful what you say, he will certainly use it against you.
He said, "I can assure you, anyone banned from the forum (5 in three years) violated the rules and well established forum etiquett."
How is that for total nonsense. I invited him to come here and explain what these banned members were guilty of.
BTW, my crime was to post a video of the CTX700, but youtube inserted an ad in the video (not my doing). He deleted it before anyone had a chance to see it saying I had violated forum rules. This is odd because just about any link that anyone posts leads to an ad of some sort. In addition, I reposted the link so that people would have to copy and paste to another web browser to see it but another member corrected it and reposted my video, but nothing was said about that. This tells me that for some reason, Jon was out to get me. It was a personal vendetta of some sort. This makes no sense to me because I never had any dealing with jon before except for buying his bracket and I treated him with nothing but respect.
I then complained about my post being deleted and the next thing I know, it's deleted, and jon is sending me a pm complaining about me saying anything about the deletion. I then posted that I was going to notify the owners about what was occurring on the site and then the next thing is that Rebel sent me a pm giving me "two" warnings for the same thing. Needless to say, that was also deleted.
I then took it off site and sent jon an email in which I complained about him and Rebel. That was when jon banned me. Granted, I could have been nicer, but in consideration, I was much nicer than he deserved. In my book, if two men have a disagreement they stand toe to toe and discuss it like men, (I'm not speaking of getting physical.) Jon won't do this. Rebel won't do this. How can a person respect people like this? How can these people look in the mirror and think, "I'm a good person because I didn't give the other person a chance to say anything".
I've been on the Internet since it's inception and on many forums, and I have never seen moderators act the way they do. They act as dictators and if anything is said about how they act, they threaten. This is unacceptable. If I were a business owner and these people treated my customers in this manner I would fire them.
Jon, if your reading this, you're more than welcome to speak your mind. That's the way it is here on this forum. Everyone get's along.
