i would really like to bring up my discontent in a recent issue with a Moderator ianho!

The matter is regarding his thread here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/686474


View Full Size

i simply asked him regarding the major differences between the item he's selling with a similar type i've seen else where due to a very large price gap..this morning i found my post deleted and being allegedly accused of 'disturbing' his thread, i quote:

from this issue i feel he is abusing his powers/authority as a Mod and simply removing forumer's post without any question.

what sort of attitude is this, what more being shown by a Moderator..i've seen regular dealers here at LYN with much better customer service!!

thx for relocating the thread!

back to the issue, i'm quite new at LYN and nvr thought there would be moderators that would handle the matter this way..

i'm not saying all moderators are bad because in this short time i've seen a few common names with good reputation..

also this issue made me wonder how moderators are selected...i thought they would have to be competent and trustworthy in their duty

sure thing, and yes this is a shared pc so my friend (i can even disclose the LYN ID to you in PM if you wish) posted a comment as well..

Product A (sold by mod at LYN), and Product B (sold elsewhere) - both are similar products

i was asking about Product A compared to Product B, my friend later added his experience on Product B..

and i quote:

so i'd really like to know what his valid reason is because i dont see myself 'flaming' or 'spamming' at his thread..

*i sincerely hope as an Admin u would not be biased against any particular side on this matter (coz goodness knows how mods get their status in the first place anyway)

P.S. if u sense i have something up my sleeve, then you must forgive me for saying this..
because i personally think the other party selling Product B is a dedicated site which sells their items internationally..the market is pretty much (actually very much) larger than here on LYN, so why would i be trying to do anything?


p.s. altho this might be a little off topic, i hope someone can enlighten me on the past issue with LYN ID: goldfries? (perhaps in private if you will)

I just went back to check on ianho's thread:
"(WTS) Spudz microfiber SLR lens cleaning cloth"

and it appears the whole thread has been removed, can't find it in the forum list and the link on his nickname is dead.

well to be specific, i'm no expert in micro-fibre cloths...so there was a huge price gap (RM9+ and RM30+) i was just wondering what's diff and that's that.

i dont see why ppl take things so negatively, it's like a paranoia that every moment someone is trying to jeapordise your sale or something..
i mean there are people who do, and there are people who don't..so why jump to conclusions?

i left a post on his thread, and since the entire thread is gone now clearly he has probably seen it..

and ur list of things, are based on your personal experience with ian right?
well i'm just sorry i can't share the same good experience as you did..

if you feel this isnt getting anywhere fair enough, i don't think it will either coz now his thread is gone, till now he hasn't come here to rectify the issue..

all ur assumptions may seem against me, but so far solid facts don't appear to be..

only goodness knows what's goin on in the admin/staff/mod sector of LYN.
so as vikingw2k said, i dont want to generalise...to you good hearts out there (particularly the mods) this isn't directed at you..

i'm sure you've done it before in any other stall throughout ur life..don't tell me you've never told any dealer/supplier/seller/retailer:

"so expesnive ar"
"the other shop cheaper leh"

or anything like that throughout your life...we're all hypocrites i know, so try not to make it too obvious...


maybe i should've pmed him..but why the sudden thread removal? why no explanations till now? he's been on..what happen to customer service?

i'm going to very well mention names now..siewkahow, i did question his pricing before in his very own thread, he didn't go all "remove that post!!!"

this is pointless coz apparently assumptions here seem to be making the judgement, not solid facts.

don't get me wrong, my intentions of that post was not whether he reported or not.

it's merely none but an excellent example of how a dealer attended to his/her potential customer...

why his thread was removed i dont bother anymore, and thank you for having the courtesy to explain to me why my post was removed coz apparently he can't do it himself..

my best regards to you for ur time and explanation...thread closed

err, okay...i guess that pretty much says it all then..

no need to further this discussion/argument anymore...

ok perhaps i have mistaken there, fair enough but i dont really see the point of this continuing anymore

from the two quotes i see above...
just forget it, maybe one of the mods was aware of it and the other wasn't..or however u'd like to put it

P.S. if it seemed i was disrupting the sale, then i am aplogising for my misintentions.
