wicked laser horror story

[LIVbase13]

By the way, I tried to post this on the wickedlaser site but they would not allow it so thier forum is very biased

if you so much as glance at WL the wrong way you get banned from the forum

Yep I found that out the other day

Glancing the wrong way? It doesn't has to be as serious as that. Yesterday I wanted to reply to a post in there, and I used a lot of time writing (not the easiest thing to do in a forging language) and taking pictures just to find out, that I couldn't post the links to the pictures. I then used time breaking the links down in color coded pieces so interested members could stick them together thereby recreating the links and see the pictures.

To be honest I was a bit grumpy after using another hour doing this, and wrote that to Wicked in the post.
Now I've just found out they've deleted the entire post (+ a reply on it form another member with no negative content) and send me a ban-warning.

What a stupid forum. Now I've just spend yet another hour in there, but It was well spent I believe, cause I wrote them this:


To WICKED LASERS

Well - Yesterday I was pretty mad at this Forum, because after spending a lot of time writing down an idea to my fellow members, and taking pictures of it, to show exactly what I meant, your forum wouldn't let me post it.
After a lot more time I finally found a way to post it. NEVER has I had such big problems posting in a forum and never has I been so frustrated.

But compared to what I'm feeling today, it was nothing!!! Today I'm furious!

NEVER NEVER NEVER, has I been in a forum with so little respect for the members and the time we use posting. You've DELETED my post! Yes, I was a bit rough on "the forum" and the way it worked, but not on my fellow members which I think came clearly through, judging the (now also deleted) response from another member.

I'm a member of many forums, but in common for them all are, that they are free, tolerant and funny places, where crazy ideas, god and bad experiences and Life, the Universe and EVERYTHING can be discussed. On the ones where I've been a member for years, we are never spammed, we rarely (in reality never) ban members and letting off steam once in a while is seem as human behavior, and doesn't offend anybody. Freedom rules - and it works perfectly!

A CONTROLFREAK forum like this, where you can't even post a picture, or say the rule is insane, is a waste of my precious time, and I want no part in it, so please delete my profile.

Now, I'm suddenly understanding what they are talking about on the other laser-forums, when they say this place is a dump!

Too harsh?

It's quite unlike me to write like that, but I really despise "Laser Community Forum / Wicked Lasers"!

Thank Bob for this forum, where all are cool and where Wicked can't delete my posts

I posted on the WL forums for a few months and out of my ~150 posts or so, I'd say at least 60 were deleted because they didn't bow down and give oral pleasure to the greatness that is Wickedlasers :

There's something for everyone at Lasercommunity: fascism, big brotherism, censorship, propoganda, indoctrination, maybe even a little marxism/socialism/communism for good measure.

hmmm... makes me wonder, i'm a newbie and i bought a 35 mW evolution. my friend bought a 15 mW advance and his seems stronger than mine bc his stings my skin fast. do u think that i got a 35 mW laser or that i was ripped off? :-?

 

[BlueFusion]

You should be able to answer that yourself... oh sorry I forgot, you wre stupid enough to buy WL AND get your friend to as well!!!
Yes you were ripped off.

KIMHART YOU SHOULD GO INTO BUISNESS TESTING LASERS WITH THE THORLAB TESTER THAT WOULD BE GREAT

 

[Ace82]

Come on, everybody loves the hot chicks! Well, now I know where not to buy laser pointers! Does anybody know where to buy a 150mw - 200mw green laser with the smallest beam diameter and divergence for a reasonable price from a trusting company? (I am very disappointed with DX quality).

You shouldn't be able to feel a 35mW or 15mW laser, unless you're focusing it with a magnifying glass or something. I have the 35 evo, and, while I haven't had it tested, it's dramatically brighter than any of the 5mW ones I have, so I'd say it's good. I think the problems with Wicked's lasers show up at the higher power levels (75mW and up)
