Hahaha, one of the mods over there contacted me regarding "my opinions"

The guy pretty much contradicted himself. He said that they don't ban people for speaking their opinions, but they do ban people for breaking the rules, which include not bashing Wicked. Pretty much told me to keep it off the forums and contact Wicked directly about it. That would be great and all if Wicked actually answered their email or picked up the phone.

If they don't ban people for speaking out in a constructive manner, why is cornz here banned?

Yeah, that was boomdog, it was duckman whom banned me. Seen as i cant register there now, would you ask boomdog, WHY i was banned and if i could be unbanned. Seeing as they have contradicted themselves. I would still like to contribute my "opinions".

Forget about that forum (and I use the term forum loosely).
The reason you were banned was for contributing your opinion or stating facts.
All anyone can post about there is praise of WL and suck up to them, it's all garbage and not even worth the read.

I tried 3 times to get on that forum and was never allowed to get on. Probably cause I had an order waiting that I now wound up canceling.

I believe you get a ten % discount on a website if you are banned from wl forums. I think it was opto...

Sounds like business as usual for a Chinese company or the Chinese government for that matter. Silence the opposition. Censor all information that does not work in your favor. You still cant do a search for the Tienanmen square massacre in China.

There is usually reasons beyond what may appear in the fourm as to why someone gets banned. Although it was not me who banned anyone recently, I have always banned people with a very good reason for it.

There is nothing wrong with posting your opinion, however once is enough, and it deosn't need to be in multiple topics which is esentially spamming. Fire Starter you have not been banned, but your name has come up because this is what you are doing lately. I would rather not ban you or anyone if they can follow these requests (no spam).

I have banned people in the past for their response in PMs to a warning or a request, especially if they respond with foul language etc. I rarely ever speak out in other forums about this, but there is usually two sides to a coin. I have seen cases where I have banned someone for a legitmate reason during a convo in PM, only to have them go elsewhere and say they were unjustly banned. I have also seen people openly plan to try to get banned and discuss it on here or in other forums.

I believe these people have left this forum and formed their own new one since then however. The new mods on this forum are lightyears ahead in all aspects I can think of then the previous bunch, and my hats off to Daguin and others like him for all the time and effort they've put into helping others with this hobby.

I'd just like to say, that although I'm certainly not perfect, and I can't speak for others, I've never knowingly banned anyone ever without a good reason.

Sorry but WickedLaser's rep speaks for its self. Perhaps your a honest & just mod but I doubt the others are.
By the way, I believe Dave's name is "Daguin", presuming thats who you meant to tip your hat to.

I waited a month for an order which they never shipped, then asked them to cancel the order, and I got a refund within a few hours.

I have just cancelled a $700 order with WL as i'm properly hacked off with the poor level of customer service, so i voiced my cancellation on the forum and was banned. No profanity, no slagging, just the truth that for 70 days, they have had my money and i've had nothing.
Says multitudes about a company that bans users for speaking the truth.

Lol, welcome to the club. Once you get your refund you should check out Jayrob's prebuilt hosts. I was really happy I cancelled and found a good host I liked from Jayrob.
