'ok first thing, the old cult issue which i'm sure you remember. in that i decided to have my account deleted. harvey didn't respond and at the same time kamikaze started talking to me about it. i felt better then came back to posting. just a little recent history.
ok so yes it's true i haven't had stuff deleted in sometime but then i was seriously looking for advice on a ski. whatever, i should have put it in ski equipt. no prob i understand that, but no notification no nothing. so, then i am told that ok man, you know you pout it in the wrong place. so i think, ok then what is this and that and the other post doing up there??
it is abous consistency. that as i am sure you knowis the majoy complaint most ppl who have complaints about NS say. how come me and nbot them. now i am a smart guy and i understand that not every littl ething can be caught and there could be a timing issue as you mentioned but still there are tons, yes tons of similar threads up on SG as the one of mine that was moved. even one about gear at the SAME TIME MINE WAS MOVED. that cannot be explained so hence i feel singled out.
frankly man i really don't give a shit in the real world. i ski i have friends i laugh and all is good. but when i was honsetly looking for info on soimething it was a big big let down to go thru this whole spiel especiually when the rules applied to me seem to be quite different from many many MANY others (just look at the threads) in this particular case.
i would just suggest that when a ruile is applied to someone it is applied to all because then you get into this kinda shit and viola; another ski kid pissed off at NS. it sucks and it getting tired. you know what i mean about ppl getting piussed at NS and hopefully you can see why i am bummer about this one.
i gave money to S because i believe in it as a good thing for the ski scene; esp. up and comming guys, but i just see this wasteland of 13yr old kids speaking about who their favorite pro is and blah blah balh.
if NS wants to last and be successful, trust me on this man, then don't do shit like this to ppl who are obviously on the ball and aware of stuff. i wouldn't even suggest you do it to the 13yr olds either but just focus on long term sustainability of the business and not fucking moving ads around from ppl who actually have solid business up on the site.'
