What's any of that got to do with your original statement? What I addressed was "be careful of what you say or how you say anything negative about your tractor. It can get you banned ".Justinfo said:Greg,
There is not a doubt in my mind that there are users that have multiple names on here. But, I have been lurking on this board for a while and I have seen several members banned and the only reason I can see that they were banned is because they disagreed with the DEALER/DISTRIBUTER POLICE. From what I have seen these members were using just one name. This board should be an open forum for all tractor owners. The posting of opinions, facts, experiences, and or what not, weather they be pro or con to any make or brand of tractor should be allowed. If it is false or untrue, then there is a problem. Censorship should only be used to clear profanity and sexually obscene material unrelated to this forum. If it is alright for someone to say Brand X tractor is the best **** tractor I have ever owned, then it should be ok to say Brand X tractor is the worst **** tractor I have ever bought, but we know that there are those that will dictate what is permissible and what is not. I whole heartedly agree with the banned member that said Dealers and Distributors should not be moderators having the power to protect the image of the tractor that they are selling.
It would seem that you haven't actually read http://www.tractorbynet.com/site/tos.htm either. Moderating posts that violate the terms of service is not "censorship". There's a pretty big gap between getting your posts edited (or deleted) by a moderator - and getting your self banned from this site.
I agree completely however, that contributing dealers/distributors should not be assigned to moderator positions.
