Hey guys,

i have to have a little vent and rant as in the last 24 hours i have completely gone off Todd the reviewer.

i joined his forums as i like his videos and thought it would be a cool place to hang out when i have read everything on here i wanted to.

I honestly have never seen such a closely controlled forum ever.. I posted on there about the Dire Wolf Bite i had to trade a couple of weeks ago, it was deleted in an instant by Gillian (who is on here) and i was informed that i cannot try to sell or trade anything on the forums without the express permission of Todd (fair enough she was just relaying his rules).

Same as most people on here, i like my mods and they are clones, i own a real KFL+ which disapointed me greatly until it got replaced, and the Hcigar 3.1ES did a better job than my real Svoemesto KFL+.

i tried to type something on the forum last night, which it turns out has been set by Todd to auto replace the word Clone with 'Rip Off' which to be honest i found rather off putting, and when i said that, i got told that if i had an issue to message him directly. So i messaged away, a good few paragraphs saying that i did see the point of view of people who hate clones, but pointed out that if the modders were better in business the would have patented and copywritten their products, and raised my point about the auto-replace wording. The reply i got was quit frankly dismissive and very short, basically tough... 'it is what it is, but you are welcome to hang around and join in' talk about making me feel the ousider even more thav i already did and had explained to him that was how it felt.

somone mentioned today something about 'that pound shop' as even the word Fasttech seems to be banned, i repied saying i agree, they seem to stock anything lately and that most of it was shite, but there were bargains to be had i.e my nem fakes (i resorted to typing fakes instead of clones as that does not auto correct... Yet) to then be shot down again with a message 'Guys, Enough with the talk about rip offs, thanks, Todd'

i beleive in the moderation of forums as it can get nasty.. But to take it to the level where someone cannot even discuss their devices is too far and borderline control freak.

have asked him to delete my account as i will not be back due to his elitism. What makes it funnier is he may not be that way if it was not for all the uber free stuff he gets to review.

Apparently because i can neither afford to spalsh out £130 on a real nemesis or £130 on a real KF 3.1ES doesn't make me a real vaper.. Or at least my views or points don't matter.. Or at least that is how that man has made me feel... Shame as i used to like his videos.. Now when i watched one today all i keep thinking is what a dick (sorry that auto correct doesn't work.. Penis)


sorry for any typos as my ipad is being slow.

and sorry for the rant!

is that that fat Scots fella,I watched a few of his reviews,and to be fair anyone could have done them,
 
I know how you feel, I don't post much on UKV because of the same small mindedness of some of the others there....Don't get me wrong, there's a lot on really nice dudes/dudettes there but the policy on not being able to discuss clones pisses me right off.....Clones are here to stay, most people don't have the silly money some mod makers want for basicly a battery tube, and If you can get the same thing or something very similar for a lot less, then it's a no brainer.....But to just deny the right to have a discussion, meant for me at least, a no posting policy....
 
Don't like it, leave, that is what I say, your choice, I may be the mod with the least amount of patience for inter-forum bitching, or people telling me their life stories regarding how other places are run. Todd is up front about it, and is also a member here, and has a right to his opinions, and to run his forum the way he sees fit. But seriously, as I said, about my tolerance for this sort of thing, absolute zero, because I don't want to waste my time with petty traumas, but that is my personal tolerance.
I will add though that if you want to start calling people out on their weight and shit, don't, because that I will do something about. Just saying ;) I'll leave this up to others to moderate otherwise.
 
OP, can I please refer you to the rules as posted here: -

http://www.planetofthevapes.co.uk/forums/faq.php?faq=forumrules#faq_postingrules

Predominantly this: -

Flame wars are silly. While you might not like how one forum or website is ran, you have a choice to NOT visit said forum or website. You can review a website or forum in the Reviews section, but be aware these forums are heavily moderated and all negative posts will be removed unless the review is the complete and final step to an unresolved situation. The majority of members at PoTV are not interested in "forum wars", "mud slinging", or calling names. Usually, if you are trying to incite this kind of negativity, it will be ignored or drowned out with jokes and laughter. Don't be surprised to see monkeys hanging from your blinds the following morning throwing bananas either. Flame wars can quickly get out of hand, threads will be locked and/or deleted that are on their way to reaching the "boiling point." You may also receive a warning for taking part in encouraging the negativity. PoTV retains the right not to explain why the threads were locked or deleted.

Therefore, I am closing this thread before it gets out of order, and more inflammatory remarks from other members are added!
