whatsbestforum - what's going on

I thought I could reduce my presence here and participate elsewhere so I registered on this site called whatsbestforum. First it looked harmless. I did not read the about section. 

I made one comment, a speaker recommendation - did not name or mention anyone - just posted a link to a speaker site and I was immediately banned. The site went into an endless loop, with the you are banned message. I can't log off or view anything, the only way I can view it is if I start another private browser. On top of that, a few hours later, the message changed to "Your IP address has been banned."  Like I am some kind of criminal to be kept away with a restraining order and pepper spray.

I wonder if it's an exclusive site or a cult, and if anyone from here is a successful member over there. The about us section is truly disturbing. I am not taking it personally, but it does bother me of course.

@treitz3  Tom keep going, you clearly are a good foot soldier.

Oh, and while you are at it, please remove ALL of my content from the WBF site. I have requested this before, as I certainly do NOT wish for that content to continue to give the owners and you any further benefit. I expect to hear crickets about this, just like i have before.

*Sigh* 

It appears that all you want to do is argue. That's not my style and with that said, this will be my last communication with you. 

When you signed up to be a member, you agreed (as every single one of our members did) to the WBF's TOS. I'd like to remind you that TOS #18 states the following - "All material posted becomes the property of the What's Best Forum."

Therefore, we will not honor your request. The removal of your posts would break apart the natural flow of conversations, making things very confusing to those who read up on a particular topic. 

With that said, this conversation is over, as I prefer to simply walk away from someone who continually throws gas back on the fire. I wish you the best in your audio journey. Have a nice life.

Tom

You can ‘sigh’ as much as you like, but now we can all see what it is like to be under the supercilious and onerous mods and owners at the WBF! 
You have zero issue with benefitting from the many prior threads that I initiated on the forum, including the one that introduced the Alsyvox speakers to the members. Now, you see no problem continuing to garner exposure to the sight (eyeballs) and justifying said action by hiding behind your TOS, which I did NOT agree to. 
”Natural flow of conversations”, whom are you kidding, it is totally dysfunctional on your site!

@daveyf   I don’t even have a horse in this race, but the clown-post preceding yours, the utter dripping of ego and self-importance….making reference to TOS for Christ-sake, you’ll never ’win’ with a goober like him.   Just let it go.    Karma tends to “resolve” problems like this when you least expect it.
