(Continued): During that time, some of those same members were strangely enough trying to supply more donations so she could purchase a beretta storm carbine that caught her fancy. I remember some of these weird postings on the site with pictures of her wearing pumps and posing with a firearm. NV. Bikey momma, aka *Sons of Sam*,style. Can't forget about the Arc flashlights co. conspiracy .
I used to post there years ago. It's kind changed a lot since then. Don't even remember by login. I remember that there was a lot of bizarre and funky stuff going on with the sasha/frets women. Re: asked members to donate to keep website open. Then took personal donations to buy shoes for this woman cause she wanted reward for*tirelessly keeping CPF running*.
I don't know what she looks like, but it wouldn't surprise me. She has an ugly personality, it's only natural that her looks would match. Frankly, I couldn't care less if she was the most beautiful woman in the world, she'd still be a moron in my books!
Do something positive about it and start your own forum.Ning is a good start and their moderator tools are easy to use and creates a much better looking platform ,IMHO of course.But I have moderated on Ning before so if you wanted to do this I would be willing to help get one set up.Then we can let the members know somehow and leave her bigot ass to diddle her cooch. XD
LOL I told off a moderator and he didn't ban me. Gee lucky me but I get a message one day and I'm like: and who the @$#% might you be? I didn't realise that his name was in BLUE therefore he was a god like creature.
That is friggin' disgustin'! I knew when I joined that the owner (and moderators) are a bunch of pompous poofs.You know when you read the first paragraph that it's like: oh brother.Treat you like a schoolchild, not like a person.Too bad its a valuable tool (thanks to members only). Someone else should give em competition.The site runs like s@%t and stupid to navigate, is always down and the owner bitches about not having enough money to run the stupid thing n now you can't post photos.Takitdown
It's a shame really as there are so many helpful members on there, the reviewers and modders for instance. But the way the site is run is a complete joke - it's always down, possibly the worst uptime of any website I know and the admins are immature as you say - you will be banned should you dare disagree with them! I tried signing up once to ask a simple question and the thread was spammed to death and closed because I'd dared to start a new thread rather than 'using the search function'!
Yep. DM51 is the guy I disagreed with - in a discussion about flashlights. Nothing more, I just had a different opinion from him, and expressed it rationally and in a civil manner. Remember, this is a *discussion forum*, but that didn't matter. It still got me banned.
Some of the mods are total utter dickweed no lifes like that DM51. Boy id love to use him as a boxing bag. Turn him into a vegetable. Site admin is a joke who I couldn't give a rats fkn ass about. Apart from that great site for making powerful lights.
i was threatened with banishment for standing up for a manufacturer who was doing nothing more than commenting on a thread where their product had been previously mentioned by other users. who better to clarify questions on a product than the manufacturer, right? wrong! unless they are a advertiser of course...
of like the 3 threads i participated in over the last year or so, i've managed to be threatened with banning in 2 of them. it will eventually catch up with them...
The things is, when your in your mid 40's living in your mum's basement, your no-one. Its a sad existence. BUT when your the moderator of a popular forum.. Oohhh the power.
Can i get laid? No but i can ban you for a week!
Can i hold down a job? No but i say what i want regardless of the rules.
Can i wear the same underwear for a week? Err yes i can actually.
Can i have interact with others? No i have no social skills, never go outside and take out my anger on innocent newcomers to my forum!
Wow, I am not alone! I was accused of being a "racist/bigoted a**" by dear "Greta" for posting a thread about "silly" names like Sunwayman. Two other posters agreed there was nothing "racist" about my post. Racism and bigotry had nothing to do with my intent.
I printed to PDF the original thread and the "admin subforum" thread where I protested the first mods' behavior, and "Greta" went at me. If anyone wants to read this "lovely exchange," email me.
I have to agree with everything said here. Its the most pathetic group of "moderators" I have ever seen. I have seen battery charts taken down because the message boards sponsors don't come out on top. I can only guess as to the state of their personal life. I really cant understand why people stick around there. Its common to see people with hundreds if not thousands of posts. It reminds me of a "reality" tv show where they do everything they can to encourage drama.
And I'm not talking about discussing their moderation - I'm talking about discussing flashlights. If you stay on topic and break no forum rules, but disagree with a moderator, you run the risk of being banned. I have seen this happen!
Yep. Unfortunately that sort of behaviour is encouraged on CPF. I have seen moderators get away with stuff that is clearly prohibited by the rules (such as personal attacks, etc), yet they are above the law. I have seen DM51 belittle someone for no reason, and when another member tried to diffuse the situation, *he* was banned! Any discussion with the moderators is cause for a ban, unless "discussion" means agreeing with anything they say. It kinda defeats the purpose of a discussion forum...
@Jason99942 Yep. She is a great example of what happens to some people when they have a little power. Put a uniform on some people, and they turn into the Gestapo. Greta [a.k.a. Sasha] is one of these people! After she banned me, for simply disagreeing with her (I did not break any forum rules) on CPF marketplace, I thought the matter was over. A couple of days later she banned me on CPF too, for no reason whatsoever! She just figured out that I was the same person (wasn't hard - same username).

Yeah CPF sucks as does Greta. Besides, some forum, it's down most of the time(marketplace)
She is rude and full of herself and might I add,quite the ugly duckling.

Who uses candle power as a measurement of luminous flux? Sounds like such a forum is analogous to the flat earth society.

You're not alone. If anyone is a bigot, it's Greta/Sasha, or whatever her name is.
