Literally, what the fuck. Seems you cannot review promoters in the review section. After the kreepjee thread was banished from the main review page after a week, my new thread on Reviewing promoters was sent to a different forum within a few hours. The moderator allows all sorts of racist and misogynistic content, but seems to be interested more in protecting various promoters in here. I'm pretty sure my new thread, now in general discussion forum would provide an excellent resource for new and veteran hobbyists alike: instead of just a caveat emptor, an actual review by real hobbyists of the people who promote here, whether they are paid, and whether their words can be trusted. No such luck. If you read the note to promoters pinned at the top of the review section you can see none of what is laid out there is ever really done or enforced. But, if we want clear info, to be able to make the best decisions with our hobbying budgets, well that might piss off a few bad actors. And there only a few, but they are repeat offenders and in some cases criminals who have served jail time, who extort and harass the ladies in this industry. So there is no institutional memory here and the same con men can carry on without being outed. They can block comments on their threads, and now seem to be able to block threads that they don't like. Well done Moderator.
