Just had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with VeloNutter
I advertised a set of carbon wheels with Easton decals on bikeradar and received sarcastic messages from "traffic wardens" "SloppySchleckonds and "amaferanga" saying shouldn't it be "generic carbon wheels with Easton Decals", Fake, counterfeit good are prohibited blah blah blah.
Then the listing gets taken down by Velonutter who said:
Sorry but you need to read the rules, it is against them to list items that are obvious fakes, your advert will be deleted, if you wish to relist the please do so without the stickers on and clearly advertised as Chinese Carbon wheels. Thank-you
Remove the stickers then it's fine, what planet is he on?
I then relisted the posting whereby I thanked the original "traffic wardens" and then said that I was told to put that they were "Chinese Carbon wheels" despite the fact they don't know the origin of manufacture. They're just complete guessing or assuming!!!!!!!!!
Then I got this nice message from VeloNutter:
Final warning cut out the sarcasm and knocking other members, if you don't like the rules then don't advertise on here. And any more insults to fellow members will result in your receiving a ban!
I receive a ban threat for calling mod type members "traffic wardens" LOL!
I then responded:
Look, you just told me what to put in my own wheels.
You don't know the origin of the wheels, so why are you telling me to put "Chinese Carbon Wheels"?
I did not write any members names in the posting.
Also I told the truth of what has happened.
So tell me what is exactly wrong or illegal?
To which VeloNutter replied:
I said it all in my Warning, these wheels are advertised all the time on fleabay from China, I know because I bought a set un badged.
And you did mention members as we'll.
Read the rules or you will be banned , we don't need argumentative members on here!
My response:
To clarify, I didn't mention members, there was numerical figures in the words which in legal terms means I didn't mention any members.
Also you can't instruct me to state they are "Chinese Carbon Wheels" when they are not.
They were made in Taiwan.
No reply back, what a wally!
That's not argumentative, that's fact.
So "forcing" me to lie is unacceptable.
