content: I know he argued a lot but it kept general interesting and he would have some pretty good input to technical problems too. Did he get banned or something?

content: I don't disagree with what was done. Does it matter that the CCP was potentially involved? Will EEVBlog extend the same courtesy to anyone who feels a need to be erased? Hopefully, the reason won't matter and as a corollary, erasure is absolutely permanent.

content: Quote from: MuhScopeBroke on October 07, 2021, 12:46:22 pmHe decided to leave, there is a thread discussing it somewhere. If people were capable of discussing topics here without constantly bringing up politics, he'd likely still be around. But there could be other reasons behind it as well.

content: I'm just sad that, to my knowledge, no one actually called him "redskull". He wore the red flag quite prominently, it's not even a dig/offensive (well, maybe so from the literary connotation, which is amusing for other reasons; but, I digress.) But yes, it seems he succumbed to international tensions, more or less directly related to that very same subject. So, yeah...Tim

content: He was a very sharp individual, and could give pretty accurate advice, if he was in the mood to do so.OTOH, he had a large chip on his shoulder, displaying an open disdain, an almost hateful and very combative stance on any topic related to China vs the West.If I recall correctly, he obtained his PhD on an American university. That didn’t prevent him from spewing vitriol to anything related to the USA.

content: Quote from: schmitt trigger on October 08, 2021, 12:55:31 amYour memory is a bit skewed. You wouldn't get a USA PhD if you didn't at least respect the education system of the university you are going to.Anyway, this is an electronics forum, for discussing electronics and their related subjects. If people want to talk politics, take it to facebook or somewhere else.

content: I found the rants refreshing, revealing the indoctrination citizens receive. Where he threatened to report forum members to theccp as retaliation for pointing out issues in his homeland, well that was too much he should have been banned at that point. Hard when the nationalism is programmed at an early age as they do over there.His knowledge of power electronics was excellent though.

content: I enjoyed hearing things from his perspective, it was absolutely fascinating and I mean that sincerely. You gotta respect the hustle as well.I also recognised his display picture as a character from Love Live so that made him stand out to me (a niche series in Japanese anime/game culture).

content: Once he got in USA, he thought that CCP is shit and embraced American culture. But after being there for a while he changed his opinion, I even remember his words explaining that.QuoteHe realized that American system is rotten even more, just in a different way. And when he relocated back to China, screws in his head moved and he embraced CCP as if it was the salvation.

content: His problem was getting trolled too easily.Too many idiotic China-hater USA patriot trolls poked at him too often. When his culture was offended, he replied back, sometimes in the same manner i.e. counterattack, which is obviously a clear mistake as it doesn't help anything but offers the trolls more weapons against him.

content: Quote from: beanflying on October 08, 2021, 09:45:55 amThis ^.Unfortunately **DELETED BY MOD** was a victim of this mostly gently moderated forum where religion and politics are supposed to be no-no's.The guy had every right to defend the country of his birth from the one eyed one sided digs he constantly suffered rather than they be the ones that should have been pulled into line.China is a massive and growing empire and it has its problems but show us a country that hasn't had some shady past long forgotten in history.Moderators also need look at themselves for this loss of this very helpful and young member with a PhD in Power Electronics that he and his parents made significant sacrifice's for him to gain.He's now back in Shenzhen running a research team with govt funding where I'm very sure he will do well.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on October 08, 2021, 11:49:50 pmI'll back Dave up 100% on this. Regardless of the actions of this particular individual, you're on one of the least moderated forums out there. We let a lot slide and typically only respond when you guys hit the "report" button. There are only the 3 of us who actively moderate posts, and Geoff (gnif) only jumps in when he absolutely needs to.I use Whingepool (Whirlpool) as an example of a popular forum that is heavily moderated and the moderation rules shift and change depending on the day, which way the wind is blowing and whether the moderator agrees with your comments or not.Here, I'd like to think we have the balance right. It's impossible to keep everyone happy all the time, but we do our best based on the feedback we get from all of you.
