The whole thing was on whether he was taking a profit or not. Doea seem like a really high price considering an almost complete stainless steel genesis LV is going for around 30usd. If he really wanted to prove he wasn't making a profit he should have shown some kind of quote or something. Think about it, a lot of ppl would at least be somewhat tempted to mark it up a bit. What it comes down to is whether he was taken for a ride by his machinist or we were taken for a ride. Something just didn't sit well for me, glad I didn't send the money.

I don't know.. being that you are comparing 3 relatively simple pieces to 7 more intricate ones, pricing does seem to add up in my head. We all made our decisions either way.

Now if we were comparing identical parts, that would be a different story.

I do not know why the sturm's thread was closed . And I will not judge.
But the genisis LV co-op is definitely a non-profit project, which is managed by Tai Pan. I am not actively involved in this project, but I've checked it (Quality and price). Tai Pan does not make money with what $ 30 is also not possible . The tab "new customer" is a bit awkward, it should better be called "new member". He use this "shopware" also for german forum. May be the translation was bad.
Please do not mix now the actions of sturm and Tai Pan in this discussion. Tai Pan has to my knowledge this co-op previously checked with the admins and the ok received.

Hopefully my english was good enough to understand my point of view.

we aren't mixing the actions, we are just discussing inconsistencies with the moderation of the forums. That thread is one of the high profile ones that jumps out, that is all. Odd thing is that Dan's co-op was moved to a different section, yet the LV one remains.

Not attacking, or anything, just mentioning.

that maybe the case. I think healthy and constructive criticism that is listened too is much better than none at all.

Look at it this way. If you have a customer that tells you that your prices are too high, big deal. If a large group of your customers tell you your prices are too high then you should probably listen.

i understand they are there to keep the peace, and this is technically their place, but the best environment is one where we actually discuss things so we all feel vested in the outcomes. At the least, not feeling ignored is a pretty good thing. I'll take my chances as i haven't been drinking the kool-aid for quite a few years. (You must remember i was a mod a few years ago on this very forum)

So hey wait this isnt high school. We are all civilized adults here (mostly) and shouldn't have to be worried that speaking our mind might get us in trouble or that criticizing the wrong person could get us an 'infraction'... that sounds like an abuse of power to me. I could understand if your causing trouble or post something inappropriate.................

Edit: due to misinterpretation.
I do not feel ooSTRUMoo was doing
Any selling, just a co op that cost more due to precision machining.
Maybe it was handled the wrong way.
I don't know, I think we'd all appreciate reconsidering ooSTRUMoo's ECF privileges.
Thanks.

The Genis project is a project of the forum www.e-rauchen-forum.de.
Some of your members asked me to do that here as well.
I contacted your board admin and ask for permission to do it here and to use your logo on the front page of our project shop.
And I got this permission. Than I contacted Raidy as holder of the right and he gave this permission as well.

In the meantime other boards step in as well.

Our project is not commercial in any way and we only charge material and shipping costs. But we invest a lot of work.

Don't ask why.

I thought that was the point of this thread. If not, i apologize for posting otherwise irrelevant information. ;-)

Just my opinion, doesn't anyone think if we all express our thoughts about ooSTRUMoo. And the GTank co op, the mods my reverse their decision?
Just hoping so....

State of Confusion
I don't think anyone was criticizing the LX5\Kronos project or its non-profit theme. As far as I'm concerned that is between a citizen and the tax man though, not up to board admins and modders.

What is being criticized is the inconsistent application of the board rules. Co-op sign-ups are supposed to be done in the buying and selling section\classifieds or the PIF coop forum with a coop designation and moderator approval. Not everyone knows this and sometimes they get started a little differently. Usually an admin finds the thread and straightens the matter out, and simply moves the thread and allows the coop admin to comply with the rules retroactively. That is what usually happens.

The G-Tank and Genesis LV co-ops appear to have both been treated differently than the 'usual'. Those are the facts as I understand them. But I haven't read the rules THIS week, they could have changed them.

You are appreciated very much for doing what you are doing! It's the moderators on this forum that they(we, me) are upset with,no disrespect meant to you and your efforts on behalf of the members of this forum. at least that is the way I feel.

My freedom of thought
Stop taking everything, take my kids and the TV
My toothbrush, my revolver, the car, that's done already
Take my wife with the interdictions of the bank, the couch
The microwave, the fridge
And even my private life
That is going to be discovered anyway
I can easily sell my soul to the devil
I can make a deal with him
Because everything is negotiable here, but you won't get
My freedom of thought

Take my bed, my gold discs, my good temper
The teaspoons, everything that seems to be valuable to you
And that doesn't matter to me anymore, stop taking everything, don't forget
The dope I put under the shelf
Everything that is pretty and important to me
I prefer if it goes to Abbé Pierre
I can give my body to science
If there is anything to take out
And if that gives you a good conscience, but you won't get
My freedom of thought

My freedom of thought

I can empty my pockets on the table
They have been full of holes for a long time
I'm able to lower my frock, but you won't get
My freedom of thought

Stop taking everything and selling out everything
So that your little problems work out
I only take my striped pajama
And I offer you the oranges
You can even keep everything
I will take nothing with me to hell
Stop taking everything, I prefer going there
If the paradise is given to you
I can easily sell my soul to the devil
I can make a deal with him
Because everything is negotiable here, but you won't get
No, you won't get
My freedom of thought
My freedom of thought
