Biased Moderators?
It looks to me like some moderators are closing threads pointing out flaws in certain products.
Are there certain product lines that can't be touched here?

RE: Biased Moderators?
I would love to believe that except I don't see in the rules where you can't say I don't like a product or think a company is corrupt. Case in point, I pointed out flaws of a product and its mfg. and the moderator posted that the product was great, told them where to buy it and then locked the thread! The post was not even a day old!

If that is true (and I have no reason not to believe you) then I agree that's BS!
That happens a LOT on the otheRR forum, but I haven't seen it here yet.

RE: Biased Moderators?
Well in the interest of fairness I looked over your post history.
I see only two locked threads in your last 25 posts.
One that I locked, because it was a contest that was over.
The other one got locked because the only possible way to satisfy your request would have amounted to software piracy and any thread about that or anything else illegal gets locked.
The same thing would have happened to any product where to answer the question would voilate copyright laws etc.
Edit: I checked your entire post history and dont see anything else locked or deleted.

Guess you missed this one (today)http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_8585710/tm.htm.
Nothing illegal or vulgar, just opinion.
Does Bourke own this forum too?

There are a number of reasons to lock a thread.
There are a number of reasons to delete posts.
The reasons the most recent thread was locked were explained in that thread in the last post.
The reason this thread is being locked is because this forum is about RC Flicht Simulator Software and this thread isn't.
