Breaking news... Bob Savage and I just verified that Mitch is reading everyone's PRIVATE MESSAGES on Rig-Talk. Here are the facts...

- The user "LP Heaven" sent me a PM yesterday asking me to disable his account. I replied saying I couldn't do that anymore and he'd have to contact Mitch. He never contacted Mitch, but his account was disabled shortly after the messages. This got the investigation rolling...

- Just this morning, I sent a PM to Bob saying that Musicians Friend was going to buy the forum and pay Bob and I to run it. I said that they were going to check my join date in my profile to verify I was here from day
one.


- Bob and I only had to wait 30 minutes or so for Mitch to spring the trap. He shut off our ability to send PMs, changed my join date, then made a post about Rig-Talk being sold to Musicians Friend in the "Off Topic" section of Rig-Talk. Him making that post was the BEST piece of evidence that he's reading PMs! LOL!

So yeah, this is how your new forum admin operates. Now see why I couldn't stand working with him? He has a "God complex" and if this doesn't prove it to his supporters, nothing will.

Just last week, he also suggested that we get rid of all the other moderators so it's only us three. WTF?

So there you have it, folks. This type of stuff happened all the time. Mitch wants to be in full control of everything, including reading PRIVATE messages, banning users, deleting posts, locking posts, etc... If you guys want to deal with that, keep using www.rig-talk.com.

The overaggressive moderation was the reason to split from HC. Now Mitch screwed it all up for RT users too. It's a shame. This is why I bailed from RT.

That is just fucked up... Get a life Mitch or whoever the fuck u are!

I'm out

It does appear that Mitch is all too WILLING to cut off his nose to spite his face.

"Sounds like he (mitch) put you into the "troll list." That's something most people don't know about, but instead of banning people, it just makes their lives harder. It gives errors and all kinds of weird shit. Sounds like what you may be experiencing."
Fact, Mitch dicks with peoples accounts if he doesn't like what you say.

This sucks
I guess I could say why "This sucks".

I think this is one of the coolest sites around for the guitarist. The ability to talk with many big names in the amp world plus the ability to share personal experiences using different equipment with people who really know what they are talking about is great. It feels like you walked into a room filled with people who care about and talk about the same things I do. And they will take the time to talk with you. We are all on the life time quest for the "magical" tone we hear in our heads and a lot of what is said here is spot on. I recommend to plenty of people who play to come and check out the site.

BUT ALL I CAN SAY NOW IS "THIS SUCKS".
What a shame. :thumbsdown:

It seemed that you wanted to get some sort of reaction out of someone. And you did. It's just too bad you bit the dick that fed you.
 
Same thing happened on my forum 2 years ago, place hasnt been the same since.
shame, real shame
guys, its only the internet, its NOT real life.
reading pm's is a violation of peoples privacy, but unfortunately it does get done. (but it shouldn't)
banning people sucks, but sometimes it HAS to be done, just make sure its not for your own personal reasons.
the rules should be posted and stuck to, no matter who breaks them, and then a warning system should be used.
flame wars should be avoided, personal information should never be posted, and if it is done so, the admin has the responsibility to remove it, and ban the person putting it up.
the rest is all fluff and nonesense, till we get down to business and talk gear

I just feel bad because this place was definitely growing. I also feel bad for the people that donated money.It has always been on my mind to throw some cash to the developement of this place and now Im glad that I didn't. Reading peoples PM's is a low down scumbag thing to do. I have full admin right to my job and I could easily read peoples e-mail and that is something that I would never do.

I hate to say this but if this is what we are to expect. I'm gone.

Yeah, I kinda want my money back!

From what I can tell, he's been reading EVERYONE's PMs. Not just mine. He apparently installed a phpBB mod that allows the admin to see all PMs.

The screwy part is that all he had to do was *nothing*

Meaning, don't ask, don't tell kind of stuff, and no one would have really caught on.
 
wow...sort of saw this coming...I havn't been on lately because of this.
 
:confused:
Man why dont we just use this place for what it was made for instead of trying to destroy it?
You guys all act like little kids!!!

Rig Talk sucks balls

This is why Carlita is so messed up, a little bird told me so... [big grin]

As a kid they kept him in a cage at day care but we cant blame them because he kept reaching down the other little boys pants saying "Carly bird loves to eat the worm."

All the years of confinement messed with his head.

Ehh, Carl is just being Carl. He is entertaining though. I think he's just a frustrated never-was, who feels the need to act superior from time to time, so as to justify his failure as a man and gets so offended when someone challenges his opinion, in his own mind, he faces the trauma of not only being a failed musician, but being a failed lonely human being, watching his reflection in the mirror, more closely resembling howard stern and weird Al, than his former image of a young big bird, staring on sesamie street. Stuck in the 70's when he so proudly recalls his gear purchasing hey day. Now only a former shadow of his youth, remains in the fractured mind which was broken when he realized he was the last member to wear a members only jacket.

I remember when that happened...that definitely ruined it for me and I even contributed a track for the charity CD and enjoyed posting there.

I haven't been here for a couple months because there were a few threads that were so unbelievably retarded that it infected the rest of the place IMO. I even contributed $$ to the help keep this place going. :(

However, I got an email today saying that I received a PM and since I hadn't been here in quite a while I was a little surprised. I logged in and there was no PM there. :confused: Guess I know what happened to it. :D

This forum was really good especially to buy and sell stuff bc you always knew you could trust the other guy and vice versa. I bought and sold here regularly with no probs at all. Seeing that go will be a drag. :thumbsdown:

Dramtic douchebaggery seems to dwell on every board I have ever been on. Inflated egos are a bitch... :eek:
