This was a mistake by one of our moderators. They had meant to LOCK the thread because it had gotten out of hand (completely off-topic) but instead the "MOVE" tool was used. When I was notified of the problem, I did my best to try to put things back the way it was.WB6VHK wrote:Example. Alex / R4RT's post suddenly vanished, although he swore he did not remove it. When people complained, it re appeared ! Why ?
It is plain you don't like this forum.WB6VHK wrote:
Just to let you know, I strongly disagree with you about this. When someone has a track record of deceit and outright dishonesty going back at least 10 years is enough "strong evidence" for me. What if you found out a employee had a record of theft and drug use at his last 10 jobs ? Would you say to the rest of your employees "I don't care what he did to others, as long as he does not do it here ?
I agree with your points 100%. And I don't buy the conspiracy theory. There is too much bad feedback to dismiss.WB6VHK wrote:Quote from above post :
As to why K4TEC is allowed to use QTH.com... it's because I do not have a "case" against him. People are innocent until proven guilty, and other than old eBay transactions, a bunch of he-said she-said stories from years ago, etc., there is no strong evidence that QTH.com Users have had any fraudulent dealings with K4TEC.
Scott, You have "set the bar" so high in regards to K4TEC / Radio-Mart that it would be almost impossible to "prove" fraud. I can think of several cases just over the last several months ( on this site ) but once again you will say it is all "he said - she said" ....Scott, this is the internet, it IS ALL "he said -she said" !

Scott: You guys seem to be bending over backwards to make it look this way, you brought this one on yourselves.KA9FOX wrote:I'm so disappointed that anyone could think that I'd let a dishonest ham do business in our classifieds, just because they buy some banner ads or whatever. Really, you guys actually think that could happen? Really? Have some common sense! Why would I risk the integrity of this site, over a few bucks? Silly.
OK, we have R4RT.... who bought something on eHam from K4TEC (not QTH.com). But still, I will listen to this... I heard R4RT's side, I heard K4TEC's side... sold a perfectly good working IC-7000 to a Russian, he claimed the internal speaker was not good, he wanted $350 off the price or he would make trouble, he also asked I put a low value on the customs form to avoid as much tax, so I said just return it and pointed out our return policy (this is after he had it 3 months and I offered him $100 off the price so he can go get a $10 speaker)... at this point, knowing that this wasn't on QTH... complaint came in 3 months after arrival... and the fact that the offer to return was out there... I did not think this was worthy of blocking.w8jn wrote:Scott,
The sheer number of complaints by different users surely sends up a red flag.

OK, so every time someone places an off-topic posting on our site, we are going to engage in a discussion over it? Not happening.AA6ZE wrote:Scott, You deleted my last two posts here and on another thread. Instead of telling me why I was out of line you choose the easy way out. I'm very disappointed.
See my post above, regarding R4RT. Transaction didn't even happen on QTH.com and there is another side to the story in any event. I've never met K4TEC, and he is certainly not my "friend". He is a user of the QTH.com Classifieds that deserves to use it, unless there is a problem that would cause me to block him.AA6ZE wrote:It appears to me you and Allison are friends ,and you're going to a great deal of effort to cover for him. R4RT was just one example in the last few months.
