Interesting about Swank’s account, but probably the right move. Anthony made it sound like it was for his reporting of West which is nuts; who cars if you complains about West… I do question whether Swank even has an S4, but I don’t think the reporting of West’s ridiculous antics is ban worthy.
That’s two reinstated banned members in two months. You’ve got to wonder what’s going on over there? Audizine can’t make up it’s mind. It really looks bad imo.
I don’t know if it is not being on the same page as much as being out of touch with what is really happening. I don’t think they spend enough time on the actual site to see what is happening in some cases. It sounds like they rely on people reporting infractions when in a lot of cases it shouldn’t even make it to that point if they are paying attention.
I’d think it’d go even deeper. You’d think rules were broken each time a member was banned. Sounds like swank broke a pm rule? No matter how silly the rules might be someone’s picking and choosing when breaking the rules is ok. It all sounds incredibly unbalanced. You’d think it has to come from the top down.
I remember I got a couple of infractions on audizoo when I first joined for telling off b5 lovers who were there solely to troll b67 threads
I got suspended and someone started a thread asking why I w. I created a second account to ask Anthony why someone who is keeping the trolls at bay is being suspended…someone trying to keep the flow of actual content moving, as opposed to someone coming over to create inter platform arguments.
He explained that I broke the terms of use by calling someone names etc and that I should just use the report button and let moderators deal with it
So then I would hit the report button and in a later thread he complained I used the report button too much.
My account was terminated there and a bunch of guys complained and they unterminated it. Then after I called out Arin and Stephen at APR for denying CV’s involvement in the recalibration of their 1320 SC kit tune (something they had already openly disclosed in a press release a week earlier, but after getting slammed for that apparent weakness on quattro fail, Stephen at Apr, the owner, decided they should not undermine Apr engineers and instead just say they figured it out in their own and debt any outside help !) I was banned again. Keith at Apr actually asked Anthony to reverse it because I was just telling the truth but Anthony just left it as is.
They’re a very confused and mixed up crew. Truth is you must rule a big forum with an iron fist. Not wearing a silk dress and cowtowing to trolls. For some reason Anthony has always supported the trolls and not the content makers.
Audizine is really continuing to show how far it’s fallen. They ban a member bring them back a week later and then ban them again. Who’s running things over there?
I used to have a second account (sakimano was banned) so I could run saved searches of the classifieds when I was looking for stuff. Unfortunately I would always end up posting and tearing someone to shreds lol.
I don’t even mind being banned. The end of an era. It’s not like they retroactively deleted all of my posts. Effectively, I’ve vandalized the site (in their eyes). I think it’s a damn masterpiece.
