"Bits power" (without the space) is censored

it all seems a little petty tbh

the guy on the other site obviously has a few issues

let him rant on the internet

as for removing b p, whatever - its not like its intel or anything

he has opened that thread back up and i have pictures of which i will send to his sponsors.

I did not agree with the decision of banning and censoring the vendor names; however, it was made or agreed by the head of this site. Fine. As long as it is his site. As for the banned members, I know there is still a lack of information on this. I am just like you and everyone expecting some explanation, but I can assure you there is a good reason to do so. If not, Charles would never accept it.

Censoring the vendor names does kill me in the Liquid Cooling section, but whatever. I will get moving on.

LMFAO! Judging by the way he spoke on his site, I'd guess he had built thousands...

Perhaps it's you who doesn't get it? It's not my site or yours. Nobody owes either of us anything including explanations or justifications.

That's just it, I'm not following anything. I can choose to participate or not and read or not. Any decisions made here are at the discretion of the owner and anytime I don't like something I can choose to not patronize the site. It's all quite simple really.

Doesn't matter what a decision is or who made it, the principle is the same. : rolleyes : back at you :p:

I find your perceived need quite amusing but I think you might want to take a look at your idea of 'need'. It doesn't seem healthy.

not so hard eh?

Although you are speculating, you are probably right. But once again the reason is not important or relevant. It just is.

It's only seems complicated to you because you are making it that way. As I said it's quite simple. And again you may want to reevaluate what needs really are.

Yeah, i have never seen one. Just a lot of components to build one.

I think he has a few MM side panels and 9 or 10 TC radiators, some
bits power barbs, doesnt have a clue and a lot of hate.:rofl:

ive seen everything mounted on the motherboard. just no tubing or water ever.

Wow, RRR was already annyoing when he posted all his ftw whatever posts in the watercooling section, but what happens over there.. I've got myself an account on his forums just to see what the fuss actually is about. I think he seriously has some issues, if anyone doesn't understand the concept of hate posts, go there, read for yourself. The choice of words alone is ridiculous, let alone the content.

As for the mass bans, some people seem to be wondering what they did wrong recently. Did MM & Co skim through the whole filth over there to see whoever on anyday posted something indecent concerning XS? That just had to be some seriously annoying work.

I read through this thread and have read posts that made much sense and other posts that made me believe some people are just clueless.

To one it is a matter of principle and to another a matter of pride. I am of the belief it is better to raise ones standards than to lower one morals. Read into it what you will ...

To have read the post in question and not find anything "unusual" to warrant bannings I find confusing :shrug:.

To champion for a forum that is seeking to recruit people to wreck havoc on another forum and then feel it strange that forum might have been hacked I actually find comical. :ROTF:

My suggestion to Xs... move on. There are countless objectionable sites on this internet thingie, they are only relevent if you frequent them.

Lil Red Riding Hood and his band of Dandy Lions are only as relevant as you make them to be.

vince from :banana::banana: has a 2 MB email coming his way.

Well said. :clap:

I need to talk to bits and see what kind of resolution we can come up with.

Sad to see Vincents posts among the garbage and that is what has led to this decision.

I vote for unfiltering bits power... I mean seriously, so many people here have the hardware. Hard to filter that out :shrug:

At the very least unfilter B P - that throws dancing bananas in a bunch of words.

I just want to throw one thing out here: Gary of Sidewinder Computers is NOT officially a sponsor of that site and he has not given his logo to them expressly, I spoke with him about this and what he said to me was a very confused sounding "I have no idea why he puts that logo up there" <--- its just a product of the infatuation rr has with that store

I'm not sure where this is going at, but regardless of what's going on,
for those new members who are interested in WC etc, they would be yet again confused as to the various filtering etc, esp when it comes to crucial words as such.

Sure, there might be issues going on with the various individuals involved etc, but unless XS forum is a forum that caters only to a select community, it might be better to adopt a different approach that does not affect a majority of members.

I was left wondering where did those bananas come from, until a fellow member suggest coming here to find out.

I do hope those bananas get sorted out or so and with regards to those bannings, I'm sure those individuals involved have their reasons.

:)

Glad to hear it.

The filtering is messing things up for some members. Maybe you can come up with another solution that isnt so inconvenient.

Fine censor "Bits Power" but for christs sake what's up with censoring :banana::banana: , no i meen "B*P" ? "B*P" can probably meen a tons of things like an AMD stepping for example -.-

Why not censor OMFG - Oh My :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing God, or WTF - What The :banana::banana::banana::banana: while we're at it those are short for someting :shrug:

Censoring 2 letters is just stupid, that's not meent to be an attack to any of the staff on XS but really - it is.

I'm sure there is more to Vincent's involvement then what we know. But don't condemn him because of what Joel "brags" about. This comes from first-hand knowledge. I know a review site owner that is nothing more then a liar and a thief. He openly brags about his input on product design (motherboards and other components). The truth is he has no input at all.

When he first started the site he stole advertising banners from other sites to make it look like he had manufacturer sponsorship. Heck, if you click on one of the banners it took you back to the site it was copied from.

When his forum was first set up there was at least two manufacturer specific subsections where he claimed he was the official support for that part of the world. The sections were removed when the manufacturers were alerted to this.

It's unbelievable what an unbalanced person will say or write. So I guess what I'm try to say don't automatically see one person as guilty just because of some type of association with another.

---

Wasn't condeming Vincent, just stating that we don't know all the facts, just what we are told and can read. I do not think the product should be censored or banned. I have plenty of *B*P* parts and love them, especially the 45's.

That set my mind at ease, got a tad worried seeing that logo up there. Its a little hard to take RR / RRR.com seriously when 50%+ of his posts are personal attacks or obscenities, swearing doesnt get a point across, it pretty much does the opposite.

I do have to agree that banning b.p and :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::b anana::banana::banana:, is a little overboard, whats the harm if someone reads the name, afaik 90% of the compression fittings people use here are b.p. This is especially strange when aquatuning isnt banned.

I might not post a lot, i tend to be more of a lurker, but I've been a member of these forums for quite a while, but that's just my 2c...

I'd like to see all the bitspOwer related censoring lifted as well.

I changed the settings on it so that "BPMW" and "webpage" and stuff like that will work, though ":banana::banana:" is still censored.

well some new information has come to light @ me via PM and it looks like gary might have just been lying to me when he said he has no affiliation.... :shakes:

Thanks to Fugger for posting that he's going to look into it with Bits.

For my little part, I'm lifting my personal protest against the vendors supporting the site :p:. I've received some responses that indicate they are not part of the hate campaign, and will look into the situation. That's all I can ask. edit: @ SNiiPE - I think we have to take everything with a grain of salt at this point.

I hope that we don't fight amongst ourselves here. As others have said, let's take the high road. I'm glad we've had this thread to air this issue, but hope that we can move on soon.

It would be nice if those vendors that haven't been banned that are involved, come forward and publicly voice their thoughts and opinions. I for one, would like to know. If they condemn the actions of the other site and seem sincere IMO, I may very well lift may protest as well.

Exactly... I was wondering the same exact thing when I read it.

I certainly support the banning of members that contributed to attacking others.
They go on there and spew vile material and then come on here and chat like everything is okay.
In business we call those smiling knives..
