Look you've made your mind up about us... I'm not ever going to have any proof that you will deem worthy of changing your opinion.
But one last attempt at an explanation...
Another little known fact: Moderators are not to deal with Site sponsors when they violate rules.
Tran is the only one who does that.
Now when vendor bashing takes place we typically move those threads to the correct forum. But you are right we don't allow endless vendor bashing. Once a thread like that runs it's course we close it.
Vendors pay to be here, they expect some protection for their money. And don't think vendors don't get banned for unethical behavior. It has happened numerous times we just don't discuss it.
For the very reason you suggest... I have pedders stuff on my car. It would be hard for me to moderate a thread where BMR, Pfadt, and Pedders are going toe to toe.
So we, the mods, will typically report those events so tran can deal with them.
The ONLY time mods deal directly with vendors is when we buy something or at the Fest.
