Looks like we lost a legend...
I'm hoping LeMans Blue's ban is a time out and not a forever ban since he provided a LOT of good info for us. He had some issues with some venders and I think that's what got him banned. I'm hoping some compromise can be reached.
http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=319306 This may have started it... along with his posts on ADV and AA. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=318372

+2. There are good sponsors and bad sponsors. Leman Blue was just stating his opinion and got banned for it. Very unjust in my opinion.

This is how I feel about the relationship between a board and it's sponsors:

"Hey, just buy all vendor products, do not ask question, do not question quality, just pay the price for products our Vendors(Active/AVD) sell, if you have a problem down the road, lose power with thier exhaust , dont receive your product or money back, its your problem, deal with it. If you do any of the things you were told not to do stated above, you will be banned. And yes, Vendors can keep doing this as long as they maintain GOLD, Silver or Bronze level. Copper and Nickle vendor levels start on December."
It seems like thats the attitude around here...  |

this forum should be an open forum that accepts anyone and everyone's opinion...especially when that opinion is based on fact or experience. as long as a comment is not personally degrading or offensive towards another member or group, i see no reason why anyone should be getting banned. just because a member doesn't agree with a sponsor is not reason enough for a ban.
mods, is there something that we missed here? if lemans said something inappropriate, i think that you should post it for all to see so that people understand how things went wrong.

He was not banned for his opinions, but for his disruptive posting pattern in his crusade against certain vendors and/or products. He has previously been warned about his habits.
I'm sure anyone that actually pays attention around here will know that we do not censor member's criticisms against sponsors or their products. A quick view of the sponsors feedback forum will reveal this. He is not permabanned. This will be the end of the topic.
