This has to do with a company with a company logo posting in order to promote sales and only that without any contribution of any kind to this forum.
Wow Tim, a bit of the pot calling the kettle black with
@GeorgeToledo ? In this case, you have direct evidence contrary to your statement, but you still claim to "know what it is (others) do or don't do."
SY posts consisted solely of the following:
Hi everyone It's a pleasure to meet you guys all here. I'm Maggie Xu Shuaiyin, the granddaughter of Shuai Yin's boss(Mr.Xu). I'm also grateful to Shuai Yin's fans in the group DIY for so many years. We accept praise and criticism to make Shuai Yin better.
I will also share a lot of technological knowledge with everyone here
Best Regards
Maggie Xu
I didn't expect my first post to receive so many replies.
Thank you all. I know there are many people here who like ShuaiYin, and
I also want to get to know everyone up close and know their usage ideas.and also a technical sharing and learn.
Of course, if you are interested in our products, I am also very happy.
I am study the rules of this forum now.
Best Regrad
Maggie Xu
I've bolded both your and SY quotes. Yeah, no mischaracterization or cherry picking at all on your behalf Tim. Care to walk back your claim, or even admit their posts do indeed indicate they want to share and learn technical info in a collaborative spirit? Or are you behaving the same as what you accuse GT of? Because I don't see how you can have it both ways.
I have deep seated dislike of anyone selling anything here and have mentioned this for 20 years. Half the time this place is like "Kits R Us".
Well, that's a bit OT, but since you brought it up, it sure seems like you think that, for whatever reason, GDIY should be modeled the way YOU want it.
I guess that's in line with why you don't sell your own capsules to end-users here, and have disdain for those that do sell parts. Note the word "parts," not kits. You mischaracterize and show clear contempt and disdain for individuals or companies selling parts with a 'toys r us' slogan, infantilizing those that may want to just build a kit. Yet, Mic Parts isn't all that active here. Mic and Mod isn't on here. Where are all these kits with step by step paint by number guides
comprising 50% of the the entire forum?
And of the places that do sell step by step paint by number guides, why bemoan it so egregiously? Why not instead just ignore such posts and put your time and energy towards contribute to other areas of knowledge at a more advanced level? It's not like CAPI, for example, somehow lowers the tide for all boats, or one thread in the Microphones thread diminishes the quality of information in the next thread.
I'm guessing you'll obfuscate, but would love to be proven wrong with direct answers to these questions above.

As a more general comment, separate from TC:
In the past, and in this case, it seems there is such little grace for some members who don't read all rules or sign up for WM threads. I'm sure I don't always see what the mods may, but from my humble end-user perspective,
likely with many blind spots, it seems like there are times (not always!) both some mods and certainly some members
ascribe nefarious motivations to what may be explained by a member's oversight or misinterpretation of what rules apply when. By analogy, how often do you read all the terms and conditions associated with day to day web transactions, computer updates, etc.? Few people do. To be clear, I'm not saying anyone should be exempt from forum rules, I just don't understand why members and mods respond in certain ways, bring the hammer down so quick etc. (vs. a bit more patience with new members. Maybe there are good reasons for, and by no means am I claiming I have the insight or perspective mods do. Just a bit of what the view appears like from my spot here, and I doubt I'm the only one who has this perspective/puzzlement.
