Should 1V-i-s-h-n-u/$-h-i-v be unbanned?

It appears as if more people think that 1V-I-S-H-NU should be unbanned.

Why do you guys lock the thread so quickly?

Restricted Keywords?

Smoggrunner brought up some valid points. I have personel met $hiv twice and I know as long as you treat him with respect he will treat you with the same respect.

From what I can see both sides are at fault because emotion was involved and each side went on the attack. I think both sides should admit equal fault and let bygones be bygones. Equal Blame is is what is needed. I hope that if you guys are ever at an event $hiv is at you all get a chance to sit down and talk :D

Peace,

Reconcilation is definately a two way street no matter how right or wrong either party was/is.

while we are discussing this, there was an article posted this last friday, maybe, that was from car and drive. the thread was locked for no aparent reason, as the article was very informative. there was however a mention of v-i-s-h-n-u which leads me to believe thats why it was locked

hey Dino why not tell y'alls side of the story once they hear it they'll quit asking.

Also is it really in your best interest to only ban the term V__nu and not ban cursing or more importantly links to porn that could be seen by some of the 17 year old evo drivers?

I think the admin on this SoCalled Evo web site hold a monopoly in their own little world. I feel bad for the new Evo members who come here and are brainwashed on what products are best in the Evo world. It is almost like the first amendment does not exist on this communist-like forum.

Word filters show the entire Evo community what kind of mindset there is here and the amount of effort that is used to prevent anyone here to even discuss that vendor's products or efforts.

I believe that a true Evo message board forum should allow all of its members to seek out all the knowledge that is available for our wonderful cars. However, there are those few people with their personal views who want to influence an entire community because of their hatred and discontent against one man and his company.

I personally never post on this web site for the above reasons and I predict that my post will either be deleted or this thread will be locked. Come on guys lets see how predictable you really are.

aparently so. i jumped on the band wagon after this series of events happened, so could someone - if allowed - post a somewhat conclusive report of the events leading to the bannishment of this individual?

i dont really want to start trouble, or whatever, i just want to know what happened because people referr to it and keep it all hush hush, and i never know what is going on.

i wont even ask for an unbiased account, because i know those don't exist for any situation

thats right kiddos the first amendment does not exist here :D First amendment only applies to government entities and your terms of monopoly and communist are mis used. Both terms are used to describe economies and government policies.

Also in light of your allegation that socal is a monopoly, that is untrue as the world wide web in socal for Evo members is a free market. Anyone can go out there and make their own website hence there is no monopoly. And there is not deterrence for you to do that.

:D

P.S i think it might have been discussed before why he was banned, you might want to run a search on it instead of having it reposted again.

To have actual products you have to be an actual business.

If you don't like the policies you are free to post elsewhere.

Besides, no one is brainwashing anyone. On any given day on the boards, dozens of different vendors/brands are mentioned, sold, reviewed, etc. It's just that one particular *cough* asshat *cough* that had issues with SoCalEvo and just about everyone else that wasn't his customer...

its their website, they can do with as they please.

also, none of us are paying members (except maybe vendors, i don't really know, but why would they care if *unhsiv* is never mentioned) and if you wanna talk about *him* and his *services* there is always evom...

Chris set it best

how can you consider Socal holding a monopoly with products, when we have several vendors that advretise on the site.
Is it because of one vendor that you jump to such conclusions ??
you have several to choose from like:
RRE
myevostore.com
WORKS
Dyno Flash
ForceFed Performance
500WHP
Tuning Technology
etc...

its kinda like if BestBuy got pissed off at Pioneer or something and stopped selling their products. they're allowed to do that...

but not really because when BestBuy sells something, they make a profit. when 500whp sells something, does socalevo.net make a profit? i'm pretty sure they don't

Actually that's not a good comparison... because said person is not an actual business... so comparing Pioneer to Joe's homemade stuff is not a viable comparison.

We don't make any profit from any vendors sales.

hey i was close though. more like BestBuy getting pissed at Mr. Pioneer or whoever is the owner or whatnot. but Socal doesn't make a profit so all that goes out the door...
