What you are reading is that trolling vendors or trolling on behalf of vendors is no longer going to be tolerated.  The trick is being clear and ambiguous at the same time. This is GD please dumb it down for us.

I haven't read all Six pages. Can you clarify?
You are talking about criticizing companies like Troy because they hired someone correct? We can still criticize products? I ask because negative and positive reviews of some of your vendors products is a huge part of the attraction of this site. |

This thread/warning is a long time coming. I'm surprised it took this long. It's to vague. Many of us use this site to hear the negatives and positives of vendors products. Now I agree with not attacking vendors like troy and LaRue because of personality issues but Stestaff is making a huge mistake by adding that we cannot critisize products. Not only are they harming the reputation of the site they are also effectively ending any negative feedback of products that end users as well as manufactures find useful. |

This is about nothing more than what Subnet references--groups of "fans" squabbling back and forth and causing a disruption. It's nothing about what you are referencing.

Thanks man. The best way this can be explained is to simply say if the reader of the OP doesn't immediately know EXACTLY what it's about, then you don't have to worry about it, as it doesn't apply to you. There is no policy shift/change, or anything else the general membership needs to worry about.

TL;DNR all 6 pages. I used to come to this website in general and the GD Forum in particular because of the open discussions and broad interpretation of First Amendment rights engendered therein. What the OP proposes will have a chilling effect. Much like the 'political correctness', Social Justice Warrior, and like mindsets and the overall 'butthurt' that have come to pervade America.
I am saddened by this Warning, not because I believe that I have ever violated anyone's rights or that I intend to do so, but because of what the Warning represents. As Pastor Martin Niemöller said: First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. MHO, YMMV, etc. |

That is not what that says at all. As has been posted throughout the thread, if you have a legitimate issue, with any product or vendor over a purchase you've made (even from a sponsor here), you are more than welcome to post about it. |

I see. As VA says, if you have a legit issue with a product or a vendor, feel free to post away, but be honest about it. Don't troll them and bad mouth them at every opportunity. Likewise, if you are a fan of a particular product or company that is fine too. But don't troll other members who might be a fan of another product or company. Be respectful of other people and their opinions. |
