Kinda funny how the below quotes (and many other from this thread) ring with the same tone.
I found this place after I was warned on the GTA about my posting. When I reported a post to a moderator that one of their "Sanctioned Vendors" was violating their rules I did NOT ask that the post be removed, I asked if other vendors would be afforded the same posting. I was just trying to be sure all vender would be treated equally, but I was sent a PM about how this vendor "needed to make money", and that my "opinion" was not express by anyone else and I should "stay away and not post".
I then decided that since my posts were no longer wanted I would delete them. I deleted a few and then the next morning I get a message saying that I no longer had any posting or PM rights and my "ban" was not set to expire. Banned? for deleting my own posts? Didn't see that anywhere in the rules.
I stopped going there, but frequent other forums. I see a post on AGN with a question about WAR rifles. I post my HONEST first hand experience with the Flex that I had. I posted a few of the guns short comings, but in NO WAY bashed the gun. I just compared the gun to the other gun the OP was considering.
Here is the thread:
http://www.airgunnation.com/topic/warp-22/
The thread started off just about the WARP, but then the OP mentioned that the Mutant was also on his list of consideration so I gave him a comparison of the Flex to my Mutant.
Then a day after the thread dies I go to AGG and guess what message I get..........

"Yessum Massah!" and then just don't contribute anything. They can't take offense if you keep your opinions (or your facts) to yourself.
