I try to let the companies speak for themselves when I know they frequent the place. I talked to Ryan quite often and was waiting for him to make an announcement.

This would work out fine except in a case where a company is trying to hide something from its customers and will not post about it.  Obviously that wasn't the case for RNC, but a 'filter' of relevant news posted by normal members seems faulty in a case where the public needs to know something important or shady about a said company.

exactly. you could've at least quoting what he said from another site or some sort of evidence to back up your claims.

I am sure that I stated my knowledge was still speculation, but more factual than something pulled out of thin air.  Furthermore, if the thread had been locked instead of deleted, I would have a reference to pull up.

I know it seems like the smart way to do it, but is it?

How fair is that, the person has not done anything wrong and you are banning them for it? Thought crime anyone? Not exactly fair is it? A lot of people think I treat them unfair enough as it is when they do break a rule.

I have a shitty enough reputation on a lot of other forums as it is. Many people think I am a total dick or the next coming of Hitler, I cannot imagine the reputation I would get if the staff started banning people without a good reason. Trust me, seeing your name dragged through the mud constantly gets old real fast.

Your bad reputation on other bmx messageboards reflects the idea that you moderate threads too strictly.  For example, when one of the RNC workers notified in a post on bmxboard that his company was going out of business, I started a thread about it because felt it important that bikeguide too heard this news.  You immediately deleted it, claiming that we should not discuss such rumors before they are proven true.  I still find that ridiculous: this isn't the CNN website, it's a community.

Wait...why are you banning all of those emails?
