[Off-topic] Tom-Helge:
Hello, my name is Tom-Helge.

I have a case going on the Neowin forum that i want to share with you. And this post might get a bit long.

I'm gonna explain this to you in the best possible way, so i don't sounds like i'm crazy or anything like that. But the whole case is a mess and it stinks fanboy from an admin a long way.

Let me explain you why.

Ok, the day for me 2 days ago (12.12.2012) started out with commenting on some articles about Apple requiring 30% revenue from Microsoft in SkyDrive and Office 365.

That was all fine and nothing wrong with what i was saying.

Then i suddenly got a personal message from Neobond (one of the admins) witch said that i had got 2 of my comments removed and got a warning for that, because i said some users was idiots. Witch i found very strange.

Because when i went back to see what kind of comments he had removed from me, then it was the comments where i said Apple was the idiots because of how they are and because of some of their policies, not the users as Neobond claims.

I called Apple for idiots because of their 30% revenue policy that is my own opinion. I didn't say anyone was dumb, stupid or idiots because someone liked Apple. I said the way Apple is going is idiotic.

Here is one of the comments i wrote to a user that Neobond removed: If Microsoft is removing SkyDrive or Office 365 from iOS because of this 30% revenue thing, then i recommend you to find someone else to use that isn't idiots.

I think it was that comment that triggered Neobonds actions. But if you read closely, you will see that i'm actually calling Apple for the idiots here because of the 30% revenue thing (witch again is my own personal opinion).

Then i asked Neobond if he could explain to me on why he then removed my comments when he clearly are lying to me about calling users for idiots.

Then he just replied and said No. Basicly he refused to give me any explanation at all on this, witch is rather strange coming from an admin.

Then i asked why he wouldn't explain it to me. But he didn't say anything after that for a long time. Then i got angry and said that if he didn't answer within 6 hours to me with some explanations on why he did remove my 2 comments and gave me a warning, then i would bring this case further with the other admins (he was clearly taking me as threatening him by saying that).

3-4 mins after that, he just removed the whole conversation about this. Then i wrote him a personal message and asked why he removed the conversation.

4-5 mins after that, he banned me from the forum.

Is that the way to treat their users on the Neowin forum?

To just give their users a big ass "f*** you" finger because someone said something one of the admins didn't like personally?

I wouldn't mind the warning and the 2 deleted comments if he actually could have explained to me with the truth on WHY i got that warning and got those 2 comments removed. Also that he could have provided some evidences on what i was saying, right?

This is not a good way to treat their users. And absolutely not a good way for Neowins image.

He is rude and childish the way he is. So i got a ban on wrong accusations.

My original account name is 'Tom-Helge'. You can see my profile here: http://www.neowin.net/forum/user/352710-tom-helge/

If you look at my profile, you see that i have the whole 30 comments after 2 of my comments was removed since 2010 when i registered my user.

Take a look at those comments i have and tell me how much of a troll / fanboy i'am as Neobond claims i'am.

You simply don't find any bad comments there, not by a mile. PERIOD.

Now it's true that you might find some posts here on XDA-Developers from me where i bash or talk bad about Apple long time ago. But i have never got a warning or got banned for it. Because the moderators / admins here are way better than the admins on the Neowin webpage.

If a moderator that actually owns an iPhone (yes Neobond told me that he had an iPhone) is going to mess with their users just because someone says something negative about the brand he loves / uses, then he better get another job to do, seriously (it stink Apple fanboy a long long way by the way he told me he uses an iPhone and the way he talked to me after he removed the negative comments about Apple).

I have now been trying to contact Neowin it self of some of their admins for about 1 and a half day now without getting any responses back. So my patience is over.

Now i just want to know what you think about this whole case?

Is this the right way to treat their forum users?

Have any users here seen any similar reactions from any moderators or admins here on XDA-Developers?

Now someone might come here and say he's an admin and he's always right. Well, try to tell that to the moderator here on XDA-Developers that was about to perma ban me like 1 year ago or so, because he though i was saying many bad things (that made me break many rules here), while in reality he mixed me with another user.

He did apologize to me after that. So everyone, even as moderators or admins can do wrong things.

Now, don't take me wrong, i really like the Neowin webpage, but when some of their admins is treating their users this way, then this case deserves to be heard everywhere.

If this post is placed on the wrong place, then just move it to the right place if any mods can do that then. I couldn't find any other places to post this.

Greetings from Tom-Helge.

EDIT: I added a poll with a simple question.
