Just to clear the air a bit here, it is NOT polite to discuss other suppliers in a suppliers PAID subforum.
Is it against the rules, I am unsure, but it just isn't polite. That is the way the OP was presented in the subforum.
The correct subforum is the KR808 subforum, as stated on page 1 of the thread. However, people want to do whats easiest for them, not necessarily correct. Had that thread been posted where it was supposed to be in the first place, none of this would have even transpired.
That said, if people feel they have been mistreated by V4L staff, please contact them directly.
If you post a question/concern on the forums, you are asking for input from the USERS, as well as the staff. It also makes people come across as attention-seekers.
It is unfortunate that some people feel "mistreated" here, however during my tenure in the subforums, I have noticed one thing:
Curt, cold and standoffish posts are met with the same type of response. In any subforum, not just V4L.
If you post a quick, sometimes nonsensical post in a subforum, you will sometimes be met with a wall of crap. You open yourself up to that by posting publicly. Is it right? That's up for the individual to decide.
If you post an honest concern about an issue, and state your case clearly, you are met with the same type of response. An honest, frank discussion of said issues.
Perhaps it's time for a discussion/tutorial of proper manners for people that start topics, not just the ones who respond.
