Okay, this will stay open as a spot for everyone to post their issues.

Ya'll might remember when Jay, the Korean f***tard that owns SFR, told me I was fired after I quit?

Remember I said that I'd continue looking out for his members that got f***ed over?

Well, I have been. I've PM'ed members there that are having issues with SFR to give them advise, and I get PM's and emails weekly about what they can do to get their money back.

I've broken NO RULES, I've done nothing wrong.

Well, I posted these over the past 2 days and got banned from SFR's forums.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>If you still have the box or paperwork that came with the box, you should check and see the actual date it was shipped, and from where, and post it here. So folks know.</div>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Yeah, I mentioned it to him after you had this problem SEVERAL times. It strikes again.</div>

Here is the PM I received.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>As an administrator you know how crappy of a situation I have been put in and how by doing this, I am making neither party involved 100% happy but both mad at me.

Here is the deal, Jay has requested that your access to post in his forum be revoked. <span style="color:#FF0000">Since it is his forum that he pays for, I have to do it.</span> You have expressed your opinions about his company and I thought that was that but Jay has expressed concerns over continual posts in his forum. Thus, the only thing left to do was remove the temptation of posting in his forum. I hope you can understand the difficult situation this has put me in.</div>

Here was my reply.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>So let me get this straight. I post on topic, and nothing anti SFR, and I get banned from his forums because he requests it?

What about my request to have the posts of mine that are STICKIED in his forum removed so I no longer get contacted by his irate customers? How about my request to have him warned for calling me a FOOL in his thread when I posted some advise for a member here, also not against the rules, not off topic, and not against SFR?

There is NO temptation to post anywhere, I plainly said when I left that I would continue to look out for the members he's f***ing over.

It's called ethics my man, and I honestly thought you had some of those, and that other shit, you know, we all had it back in the day...

MORALS.

But again, another site fails to the all mighty $$$.</div>


Now, in the first thread, I did nothing against their rules, but I get called a "FOOL" by KDMGuy, and that's just fine.


This is beyond silly now.

The name of the admin is being held, as a last show of respect for that member.

It won't happen again.

I suggest anyone here that is equally pissed about this treatment as of late post here, and feel free to point our fellow Tiburon members of the GK crowd towards any other site but NT. The last bridge has been burnt.

BTW, here are the site rules for NT. I will also copy/paste it here so if they change again, we have the originals.

http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/announcement.php?f=130

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>To keep this forum clean, usable, and helpful to all members, a set of rules has been put together that all forum members are asked to comply with.

1) Research your Post: This means using the SEARCH and FAQ features. Make sure you are not double posting. Research your questions first, as many questions have already been answered many times.

2) All disciplinary actions implemented by the admin/mods of NewTiburon.com are final. Any member caught posting posts/threads directly challenging, debating, and/or mocking the decisions made by any of the staff of NewTiburon.com may find their posts/threads deleted and/or find themselves warned or temporarily banned from NewTiburon.com. This also includes the posting of such information in a profile, avatar, and/or signature.

We have one system to track infractions.

a) Infraction System: One you reach 10 points your account is automatically permanently banned. Below is a breakdown of the infraction you can receive and the points you will get for that particular offense. Staff Members have the right is issue a "custom" infraction with any point amount deemed equal to the offense.

One Point

* Shoutbox Abuse
* Insulted Other Member(s)
* Put Signature/Avatar Back After Being Asked To Remove It
* Inappropriate Language
* Useless Posting
* Non-Sponsor Advertising

Two Points

* Multiple Of The Same Threads/Posts
* Inappropriate Language Again

Four Points

* Insulted Other Member(s) Again
* Publicly Defying/Mocking Disciplinary Action(s)
* Inappropriate Material

Five Points

* Lockdown

Ten Points

* Bad Seller - No Response From Staff

Once you have reached 5 points you will be placed in Lockdown for one week.

b) Lockdown Forum: NewTiburon.com has a forum "Lockdown" that is visable only to staff members and site users that are sent to that forum for breaking site rules. When sent to the lockdown forum a member will have their own thread in which they can communicate directly with the site staff as to why they are there and how to prevent themselve from ending up there in the future.

We also have added the Forum of Appeals. Should you feel that any corrective action taken against you is biased or wrong, we can grant you access to this forum to discuss the issue. This will be a chance for you to discuss your case to the entire NewTiburon Staff, and not just one Moderator or Administrator.

In certain cases, NewTiburon Staff has the right to deviate from the above guidelines and issue custom infractions and if needed, ban any member in violation of any site rule.

3) Personal Attacks will not be tolerated. This includes any material which is vulgar, defamatory, inaccurate, harassing, hateful, threatening, invading of others privacy, sexually oriented, racially motivated, or violates any laws. You will be given a warning or a ban, temporary or permanent, depending on severity if you violate this policy.

4) Post in the Correct Forum: When you post, make sure you do so in the correct forum. Example: If you have a performance question, please do not post it in the General discussion forum. Posts made in the incorrect forum will be moved and may be deleted without notice.

5) Kill the CAPS: Typing in all caps is considered shouting. Please don't shout at everyone. If you type in all caps, chances are your posts will be ignored by the people that can help you the most. Messages and Topics typed in all caps may be deleted without notice.

6) Be Descriptive and Specific: Use a descriptive topic subject and be as specific as possible in your message. Providing more information makes it easier to help you. This will also make searching for similar topics and problems quicker and easier for all members.

7) Do Not Post Your Topic Twice: Please do not post your topic in multiple forums. Duplicate topics will be deleted.

8 ) Malicious Code: Any member that causes script errors by entering any type of code in a message post will be banned.

9) No pornographic, sexually offensive, sexually explicit material. This includes suggestive images, graphics, and comments.

10) Do not post links to warez, warez sites, torrents or sites with pornographic or objectionable content. Any links to URL's that will cause computer to go crazy I.E. infinite pop-ups etc, will result in a trip to Lockdown or a permanent ban! Only link to sites that are for family viewing only.

11) Respect the privacy of others. Do not post other's phone numbers, addresses, pictures, etc., without their permission.

12) Each forum member may have only one account. All other accounts will be deleted without warning

13) Objectionable Language will be censored!

14) Do not dig up old threads. If you want to continue an old discussion (older than one month), create a new thread and reference the old one in your post.

15) NewTiburon requires 50 posts prior to being able to sell an item on our website. We do this to protect our members from potential scam artists. Spamming in order to get your post count up WILL NOT be tolerated and will be subject to infractions or lockdown. You may PM an administrator if your post count is below 50 and ask for permission to sell if your join date is greater than three months prior to today's date.

16) This forum is not free advertising space. Non-Vendor advertising or advertising not directly related to NewTiburon is not permitted. Posting of links to sites, site urls of any form, businesses, or companies in direct competition with or who sell the same items as our NewTiburon Vendors, to sites that sell Tiburon items, or to sites in direct competition with NewTiburon is strictly prohibited. This includes advertising in signatures or avatars. Simply mentioning companies is not against the site rules, however excessive naming of a particular company will be considered spam. In addition, the naming of such companies in reference to an actual SALE is not allowed. Members found violating this rule will be promptly infracted. Ultimately, the final decision as to what constitutes advertisement is at the sole discretion of newtiburon.com and its staff.

Acceptable Links:
Crutchfield

Unacceptable Links:
Dreamka4u

In the interests of our site members, however, a thorough compilation of non-vendor links (Tiburon specific and otherwise) will be created in a single thread, to be managed solely by the NewTiburon Staff. You may contribute to this list by posting in the thread, but please keep your posts limited to links ONLY. Staff holds the right to exercise his/her discretion as to what links are acceptable or unacceptable. You may also link to this thread any time it is necessary to reference where certain items may be purchased.

17) No spamming, flooding the forum with useless content, or continuously posting useless comments. All spam and useless posts will be deleted. All spammers will be permanently banned. Those that continuously make useless posts will be infracted.

1 All forum posts may be reformatted without notice. All forum topics may be reworded without notice.

19) Signature and Avatar Content: Please keep all content in your signature or avatar PG-13. We have a lot of members that access this site from public locations (work, libraries, etc) and don’t want any distastefully or questionable content posted in signatures or avatars. Signatures and avatars are not to be used to portray any other member of this site is a negative way without exception.

Signature Sizing: Do not exceed these size limits when creating your signature (600 pixels wide x 110 pixels high)

Avatar Sizing: Do not exceed these size limits when creating your avatar (137 pixels wide x 87 pixels high)

As always the staff of NewTiburon.com reserves the right to decide what is considered distasteful or questionable and all decisions made by a staff member are final. Any signature or avatars not meeting the guidelines stated above will be deleted.

20) Ladies lounge: There is a forum up and running on the site that is dedicated to just the ladies. If you want access to it, please PM one of the site administrators to request access. We all hope that you ladies have fun and enjoy your private forum.

21) VIP Lounge: There are two ways to gain access to the VIP Lounge.

hooooooooooly shit they are ridiculous

they're basically giving a SHITTY vendor free reign to give SHITTY service. who the hell cares if their members get screwed over... as long as SFR has the $75 automatically sent to NT then i guess all is well. that makes them a "good vendor" in their eyes.

over on yesterdays thread someone said, "if customers want to buy items it's their fault for buying, not the sponsors fault". how can that ever be true, anywhere? so it's the customers fault for eating at a restaurant unaware that a chef washes his balls in the sink?

if i were a moderator over there i'd puke points and bans left and right. but if that were to happen i'm afraid they would have 0 aftermarket support haha.

that's messed up man. m_j was right about korean business though. it's a different mindset and that's just how they get by. i think it's purely wrong on behalf of the NT staff and i agree with you on how good life would be if hyundai just stuck to the original plan the way it was meant from the start.

one more thing.

I believe this is why we decided not to charge vendors for their own forum right Jeremy? Sparticus is right, since Jay is paying NT $75 a month they allow him (and other vendors I assume) to rip people off as much as they want. Talk about community loyalty right there. If we have a vendor screwing people over we publicize it and try to get the situation resolved. In essence NT and whoever that admin was just sweep it under the rug. I guess the money is more important. Way to go NT staff!

Holy shit, Java even voiced up about it?

LOL

You are right Mike.


LET ME PUT THIS OUT THERE TO THE NT CROWD THAT VISITS HERE....

If ANY of you start up your own GK oriented site, and run it differently than NT in a positive manner, I can guarantee you that we will promote your site in our monthly emails and in every other way we can.

DTN, very nicely said in that other thread.

Here's a quote from their admin bms231, before he closed the thread on NT forums and stated:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>i personally think the staff on RD and NT has a good relationship so I am going to trust they handle the situation on their end.</div>

If that's true than why did he DELETE BOTH my posts regarding SFR plus WARN me for posting my opinion on SFR. Plus bans Jeremy because of request by vendor LOL.

Jay-> lilboy.gif <-NT staff. Enough said.
