Be careful what you say on the diamondback forum

[Brittanyman]

In another thread I previously wrote , I mentioned that I was seriously thinking about buying a Diamondback DB9. I started visiting the Diamondback forum in February to read about it's development. Since it has hit the market, I've been reading about a lot of problems that the DB9 is having - cracked front and rear rails, guide rod failures, broken triggers, walking frame pins, FFT issues and problem magazines. This is what changed my mind and cause me to purchase a CM9.

Today I was permanently banded from the forum. I was reading a thread were a customer was complaining about the broken trigger on his DB9, and how he was treated by customer service. This is a brand new gun with very few rounds through it. He called DB's customer service and was told he would have to pay for the shipping back to Diamondback, which upset him greatly. The DB9, like I mentioned above, is experiencing trigger problems. He then went on You Tube and vented there. So he was now venting on the forum. The forum's administrator chimed in and basically said he should not have vented on You Tube. Another forum member stood up for the You Tube video. The administrator then locked the thread.

I then started another thread questioning the administrator's reasons for critizing the ventor and locking the thread for any further discussion.

The administrator then sent me an e-mail threatening me. I sent him one back asking if he was practicing to be a dictator. He then banded me from the forum.

I wonder how many threads have been censored by this administrator?

"I wonder how many threads have been censored by this administrator?"

Define what you mean here. How many threads have been censored here at Kahrtalk or the admin at the DB forum?

Feel free to speak freely, no danger of banning.

[Brittanyman]

I meant at the Diamondback Forum.

I don't visit other forums much unless someone links me to one for some sort of information. When I did visit I found some to be not nearly as pleasant and friendly as this one. Almost a drink the kool aid and listen to our gospel type scenarios.
I know there is no censoring here that is clearly and openly addressed. I do fix a mispelled word from time to time but never anything that would change or influence the meaning of a post.

[Brittanyman]

Your a good man, Bawanna.

This forum is a refreshing change to most others.We have open and honest discussions here without having a petty tyrant with delusions of Godhood banning people for questioning their judgement.We vent when we feel the need and when we get it off our chests,the other members pitch in and try to help.The only thing I have ever seen someone given the boot for was rude behavior.In that I mean racial remarks or childish insults and arguments.If you engage in mature differences of opinion you will have no problem here.Good folks.

This is EXACTLY why I'm enjoying this forum so much. I've never been banned from a forum before, but I like how we're free to discuss anything without fear of retribution.

Is the forum owned or run by the guy who runs SigForum?

u gotta realize that some of these administrators on other forums are DICTATORS. They think they own the fourm,and basically they do, They have the magic "gone" button, we don't. HellI was on a forum that if you said sh-t u got an email, or if u deleted one letter like Ij ust did here, u will get it deleted from ur thread.I have PM these mods many times about this being a gun forum where men are men and where women are men but each forum has their own set rules and I think one of most all gun specific forums have is never say bad things about that gun, some get real hostile. This forum is indeed diffrerent, Sure I hate to see a poster havei ssues with kahrs, we all do but it happens to, sometimes more than we like, This is not a fourm to praise kahrs ONLY.

Ol jocko is now down to just this one forum, I recently left another gun forum due to just getting tired of some of the crapola. (that would have been deleted that word on that forum by the way). Remember it is a forum where we don't really khnow who is on the other end and I mysel have learned to not let things get to one to much on a forum of any kind. It is not just gun forums that have dictators. This is a good forum,IMO the best. For me I have lasted longer than I ever dreamed I would not because of getting banned, but one just moves on after awhile. Alot of good people here, u can just tell by their posts. Hell Bawanna has banned me 6 times but he DON'T HAVE THE MAGIC "GONE" BUTTON, but he has a back room full of horse/fish heads, ..He tells me he has the magic"gone" button now but every time he hits it, his garage door goes up, His deck of cards by the way is minus a few cards.!!

I've been on a few forums lately that I don't usually visit looking for info.
Wow. Can't believe some of the posts and responses and banning and so forth.
I visit here, 1911forum and XDTalk. That's about it anymore.
The rest really, well.... It's the opposite of:

I still have issues with 9mm bashers. :7:

But I'll survive.

Thanks for keeping this one a nice place to visit.

Brittanyman I am with you. I am the "other" one he chided. The DB froum is a bunch of lick boots. When the first negative reviews came out he deleted them quickly. Once the failure reports turned into a torrent and were getting heavy press on other forums and private boards he no longer had a choice.

When I originally posted about Kahrs righteous lawsuit against DB he deleted it but I reposted and he left it alone. The owner of that board needs to be ho'slapped multiple times.

Here we can openly discuss the matters of the mind and move on smoothly. I occasionally hit XDTLak but even there it is getting kinda petty. Don't get me started on staying away from Warrior Talk. Talk about a really arrogant/mean board owner.

[jocko]

it is a desease, that has not hit this fourm. Bazwanna has given us all NICE shots, so weshould be goodto go.

Strangely enough I just read that locked thread before checking in here this morning.
I also put forth an honest opinion on the DB380 thread where some were upset with that NutNFancy guys youtube video that was just released the other day about the DB380.
In my opinion the NTF guy was being very honest about the pistol and went out of his way to expound on the positive aspects of the gun.
One thing I found out a few years ago is that websites are owned by someone and they run it the way they want as it's not a democracy.
With some all sorts of mayhem is allowed and unfortunately on others unright thinking is strictly verbotten.

[Popeye]

Sure doesn't sound like a big loss you not being able to go there.

Every once in a while,I go on the Carolina Shooters Forum but not often.The mods there are a bunch of ARAs [Anal Retentive Asshats] and quite a few members are petty internet tough guys.There are some nice people there but they are overshadowed by their counterparts.Another forum with idiotic mods is Bersachat.I asked to be removed from their membership even before I got rid of my .380.I go on forums to increase my knowledge about a firearm,offer advice when I can,and to have fun.I`m 60 years old.I`m not going to put up with a lot of crap out of some moron with an attitude problem.My attitude,of course, is ideal.I just don`t understand why those sh#theads don`t realize it.
