This is a public service

I received this message from someone I've never communicated with online nor in person. Thought I would share with you.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nitro RC Nerds. I wanted to pass along some information, or better yet, a thank you for opening my eyes about our forum. I have been a supporting member for over five years. After following your channel and ultimately witnessing what you have claimed about this forums staff, I along with several other members spoke up (I know of six others). I've pasted my message below, along with some highlights of the response I received. The other members who spoke up were treated the same way. their posts deleted and told they will be banned for questioning staff. We each asked for a refund on our membership, which was denied. Feel free to add this information to your channel and thanks for everything you do in this hobby. We need more people like you I am sure you've inspired many people to follow suit. That is what I call making a difference. What they are doing is stealing money.

I'm a long time paying member of this forum. Unfortunately, I created an incognito account just to post this, as I'm confident I would get "banned" or "punished" for writing this. Sad but true.. Anyway. here goes: Rolex, what is your problem??? 
Seems this guy hasn't caused any problems and definitely has brought some thoughtful insite most newbies to this forum don't bring. All you have done is berade him. 

May I suggest you try going by your common sense rather than your "Spidy sense", as you look plain silly with posts such as this. Is that your true worth here? If so, he's got you skunked because his last three visits here have provided more insight than you do in a year.

Are you afraid of him, Rolex? I dunno, I find it concerning you are so quick to delete posts and ban users for the shear fact of making you look good. 

What's got me, is throughout the years, I've seen you treat people very poorly. Little by little it's become worse. I'm sorry to say this, but that's true and long time members know this. Whether they agree with your behavior can be debated, but the acts itself cannot. Perhaps you are the one who "needs a vaction" from this?

Should it not be concerning when a moderator is often behaving worse than the members? Not abiding by the rules he enforces? What is the point of being a moderator on this forum, I wonder? All the other moderators are great, and you used to be, but I'm not sure what's gotten in to you, my friend. To engage in verbal combat with others and kick those off who are able to stand up to you? Really, Rolex? I've lost count how many times you have done this, but if you want to press your line I can bring some hard data. 

You might step carefully here as he's engaged advertisors who are watching real time. You are simply banning people out of hate, but with no real cause. I don't think your "well, he *would have* caused problems wil lfly anymore, because he obviously isn't. Yet you are more adamanet about your silly "Spidey sense" instead of fostering the type of environment you guys claim..and that is to discuss RC. Facts are facts. He's doing nothing but talking RC and helping others, and you are doing nothing but acting like a little child. I assure you I am not the only one who feels this way,.

I'm sure this post will stay up just long enough for you to guage how many people will come to your defense. It really doesn't matter. I don't dislike you (I don't even know you). It's a sad day for this forum when someone new can't join us with differening opinions. If you disagree, then engage him. I think I know you you ^THINK^ it is, and assuming it is....I'm not quite sure who you think you are to dismiss him. It's very evident he has done a lot for the nitro hobby, they have huge following (much more than subscribers on this forum) in their YouTube pages, their forums, etcetera. Not for nothing, but you are just a moderator on this forum, whose 'talk' has yet to be backed up. We've never even seen your vehicles in action so check nuts before going at someone next time., You just look silly, Rolex. Okay, ban away (I;ll be on with my real account soon). Shame I have to go incognito like this, but with moderators like you, it's what we have to do. ;-(

I'm not 'hating' the Rolex. I'm hating the Rolex acts. Please respect that. Also, feel free to ban me as I'll never post from this account again. And you'll never know who I am other than a long-time paying member who is finally speaking up on this. God Bless and think through it. We are all human and I only want the best for this forum..

p.s. If you are man enough to leave this post up, I am man enough to divulge my real handle on here. This is a good step for you in learning how to properly communicate.

The response I received from "Rolex" was twice as long as my post, and send only to me. Some quotes are:
"You are not to question staff decisions" 
"Irregardless as who is correct, no member shall question a staff member"
"Staff members are free to treat members as we please without being questioned by any members supporters or not".

I also sent a message to Woodie whom I believe owns the forum. His was response to me was "Fuck off" 

OMG. You have not been joking about this group have you?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I appreciate this gentleman sharing the intel with me, and it's no surprise. What people need to truly realize here is that do not mention this unless questioned at which case you are told "keep quite about it or you will join them.

LOOK: They are free to conduct business however they like and I am free to tell people however I like. Isn't this a beautiful country?

Here is how I am going to deal with it. Something we called back in the day, with the "swiftness" ha ha.

1. I have a friend who is a c-level exec at AMain hobbies. He's invited us on site, in fact. I'm going to set up a conference call with Kendall (their CEO) and their CMO to ensure they understand how their advertising dollars are being sent. They will then be invited to witness for themselves should there be any question. This includes racial posts by Rolex as well as other "hate speech" which he deleted. No worries I have all the screen shots and they can always ask for the the logs from the vendor if there is any question that truly needs to be put down. Basically I'm done playing with him

Amain is their biggest sponsor, but I know the top people in the majority of their sponsors, and will be reaching out all of their advertisers. It';s an opportunity for them to show the integrity for which each of their business models are built. Should they dismiss it, fine. No one can stop that. However, I will ensure my nitro brothers understand which companies are soley about the cash and not the customers. It's just like that.

A while back I was asked by someone in this hobby whom I respect very much: "Whatever you do, please get that Rolex back". I ensured I would.

I view this as a good deed to society so am going put it down real quick, step back, publicize, and let everyone who was potentially dup'ed here: "You're welcome. I got this" -)

Finally, this is what everyone should know. I've won. I'm content. My mission is accomplished. You see, this all occurred at least 2 1/2 years ago when the first person came to me and said "Thank you....this has saved me money and a great deal of headache otherwise I would have fallen for the things they say". I was only after ONE person. That is the number of people I cared "got it". Everyone else is merely a bonus. So please...none of this "gets to me" or any of that. It's fun! I'm making a positive difference in our wonderful hobby. I'm thankful I am able to and will continue to pick up a camera and put it down.
