At first I thought this message board was a really good one with a lot of good information, but after posting on here a few times, I came to the conclusion that the owners & moderators are control freaks, or at least one of them is.
They deleted one of my posts asking why someone’s post was deleted. OMG, I asked a simple question, so they gave me a warning LOL, can you believe that??? And you know why I was warned? Because we shouldn’t DARE question why a post has been deleted. Yup, LOL, that’s what I was told. I continued to use the forum & then today I posted something & 3 people put me down making fun of me (yes, that’s called bullying people, people who are 25, 35, 45 years old are still little babies going around bullying people like they did in high school.)
I doubt they will get reprimanded, because if the owners & moderators are that nasty, that’s why they allow such people on their board. I mean these people like:
XM4243
Crawler
jshel101
have over 400-600 posts, & I’m sure I’m not the only one they bully.
So if you want to be bullied, just go & post on that forum.
In typical fashion, all the bullying came from the Toronto area & also from someone in Calgary.
Toronto has some of the meanest people I’ve ever come across. I knew they were nasty, I just didn’t realize how mean spirited they were until after I moved from there.

I’ve had problems with them as well:
Firstly, they outright banned me for having ‘nathanrdotca’ (they think it promotes my site? fine but I use that username everywhere else w/o a problem), then when they message me (again, when my account was banned), I had no way of replying, then when I replied, they bitched at me for ‘giving them crap, sending them many e-mails etc’. Well what am I supposed to do, send them a carrier pigeon? God. These people come across as power-hungry control freaks.
Oh yeah. When they did change my username, I had no access to the PM system. Guess who complained about that? That’s right – me. And I get in trouble for complaining? How else was that going to be fixed? By begging and scraping to them, pleading for them to fix it?
Sorry, but if I need something done, I ask. If people treat me unfairly, I say something and I told them exactly what they can do with their site and their attitudes.
I’ve worked in customer service before and I made the mistake of giving someone the kind of attitude they gave me and I was /fired/ for doing so. It is bad customer service. So I can get fired from a paying job for that but if you’re a volunteer forum admin, how does that make it acceptable?

LOL, are you for real? Did you even read the terms of service for the forum, before complaining about why they deleted a post? Maybe if you did, you would have come across this post, which would explain it, plain and simple!

(FYI it only took me less than 5 minutes to find this information on their site.)
In the future, it might be prudent to actually have a valid argument against their message board, rather than base it purely on your clouded perception of the events. Also, having found the thread you posted in, I’m not sure how either of those 3 people were remotely bullying you in any sort of fashion, but rather pointing out the lack of clarity in your posts as well as your irrational behaviour to jump to conclusions (as exemplified here as well on your site) without getting all the facts first. The only nasty person I can find is YOU, for accusing other individuals of malice, insulting all Torontonians, and the users of the digitalhome.ca message board without just cause.

In response to TheLOLinator & his rudeness, this is just another shining example of how rude & nasty these people are. He didn’t prove me wrong about anything other than I didn’t know I couldn’t ask a simple “why was the post deleted” question.
Maybe had they been nicer about deleting that one post, I would have been okay with it, but I was warned as if I had committed a capital offense.
As for the other thread(s) where the people on there were nasty, LOL, as you can see, their attitude is still the same.
Glad someone else who was treated like garbage has spoken up.
