My comment was basically that I didn't think that it was right to accuse certain members of the community of certain actions with no evidence, and that the VERY crude and VERY insulting posting from members of the RRMods forum, and from the RRMods staff themselves was unprofessional. I also pointed out that I had previously been banned from the RRMods forum about 2 years ago for accusing one of their staff of trying to pass off Neoklai75's loads as his own for the bulkheads. (The user was attempting to do just that by the way. Thankfully it seems that calling him out stopped that from happening, even if I got banned for 2 months for, once again, speaking out about something on the RRMods forum that I didn't agree with. [I am VERY against content theft, and would not associate with anyone who stole content. Thus when I see someone trying to do just that, I will call them out, and present evidence as to their theft.])
Also, it seems that Rugrat, Slave_driver, and several other users were just banned from RRMods for no reason what so ever. Most of them didn't even post on the forum and they are banned.
For a company, RRmods has set the bar very low for customer service, and public relations. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they made up the incident in question for the sole sake of trying to discredit other members of the community. That type of business is not the business I can stand with.
I once again urge members of the community to spend your money elsewhere. RRmods doesn't care about you, they don't care about the community, heck, some members might not even care about the rest of their own team. All they care about is how much profit they can make off of you, and quite frankly, it makes me sick that they got over $100 from me over the years.
I faithfully bought their content despite despite popping engine sounds and poorly looping horns. Heck I even continued to buy from them when superior content became available in order to add variety and give them patronage. (as well as to encourage competition to boost quality of content in the game.) I stood by them, I gave them money, and they threw me to the wolves when I didn't agree with the rabble rousing and the drama. I am sure that they would do the same to you without blinking an eye.
Oh, and you may want to watch out what you say. Saying that you even looked at USLW or Jointedrail might cause you to get banned for "association."
Edit
What's the point of that karma feature that some forums have anyway? It's basically a like/dislike counter for individual members. It can be a badge of fame or a badge of shame. What's the point of it?
It really isn't either of those things. The point of it is forum regulation. If you get -15 karma you get a ban. This is to discourage people from coming onto the forum and trying to drag people through the mud. The like function is just so that you can reward people for doing nice things. Really though, it doesn't really work. It is just two links, like and dislike that most people are just too lazy to click unless they have some sort of vendetta.
Really, I think that we should personally go to a system like Something awful. Get rid of the Karma since it is "teh worst thing evar11!!!!" according to USLW's non fans(normally people that acted like idiots/immature and got banned and butthurt.), and move to a probation system. You do something that is against the rules/offensive/just plain mean, and you get probated, as in temporarily banned for X ammount of time, be it an hour or even a month. Do it enough and you get banned.
The USLW forums will give you a chance, heck multiple chances. We have members on there that started off dropping in karma, but have since redeemed themselves by learning how to act like a civilized human being. We also have had others who have thrown a hissy fit, secretly tried gorilla tactics to, I don't even know what, by lowering peoples karma every hour for 36 hours, then when called out for it flipped out on everyone, cursed us out and insulted us, before going on to become one of the higher members at RRmods.(yes, this actually happened. I get the feeling that even then, the seeds of discord towards our group were getting sown by certain members of RRmods.
It is a shame when people take a game so seriously that any competition to their business is so much of a threat that they have to declare war on it.
