As far as I'm concerned it's water under the bridge. Going on about is not going to help is it?

Have you read all of the threads that Valk deleted, seen the attitudes he gave everyone and him throwing his weight around like he's still a teenager? Not to mention the whole taking it outside the forums and sending emails to users giving them grief that he clearly couldn't post on the forums.

It's only water under the bridge as moving on and acting like it never happened saves face for the Dons and OcUK, rather than doing something to make amends, and taking steps to see that this kind of crap wont happen again soon.

I find it impossible to see how it's so hard to admit that the way the whole thing was handled was atrocious and offer Neil an apology for the BS. :confused:

Meh feeling little underwhelmed after reading the rundown but good on Neil for getting unbanned particularly since it was unfair.

A lot of what happened got deleted, seemingly some people just want to act like it's okay and nothing happened rather than sort it out.

Also Skippi90, I completely agree, I've been thinking the same for quite a while.

I agree things have been handled badly, any decisions would be decided in house(shop)

Also I don't work for the shop so don't know what happens behind the scenes.

To the Mods:
All you need to do is post something like the quote below in a new thread and all will be forgiven. If you don't do this (like standing & banging, Camoe not being a shop, Romanian Camgirls, lolmagick, and lolstockhausen) the 10% thing will NEVER go away. You know how internet communities are with things like this

Recently, a few things were said in haste regarding users' reactions to our preference that the mentioning of competing companies within these boards be prohibited. We would just like to say here that while we understand that our response wasn't ideal, we all make mistakes and we have learned a lot from the experience. We would like to add that we greatly value your support and custom, and apologise for any misunderstandings that may have taken place.

I have to say, that doesn't begin to excuse what happened really. This whole situation has highlited the fact that Valkia isn't fit to be a moderator at all, and I think OcUK need to remind him that as an employee, he's also part of the face of the company so the impressions he gives out, it's very important that it's the right one and not make a show of himself and act like a manchild.

Let's not forget Nath's "Only 10%" as well, that's something you really just don't say to your customers. It's extremely disrespectful, it shouldn't matter how small a customer base is, it's a customer base. We could go elsewhere rather than give OcUK the privalege of our custom, afterall a shop is nothing but a storage room without its customers.

Well I only saw the start of it all and then the aftermath today, so wasn't sure about how bad it got. My post was only a template anyway, I doubt if it would be copy/pasted. I think some kind of recognition of what happened would disperse the distaste that hundreds (thousands?) of users currently feel, hence my post.

I hope Spie reads that post, pretty much spot on in my opinion.

Disgraceful for an employee to even say such a thing, a total slap in the face to its customers.
