So, Chad got banned??

[squeezyjohn]

However ... I absolutely think that maintaining good relationships with all people working in the industry and encouraging people like yourself, Jimmy and GN to be active members of the site is key to the site being absolute gold-dust to the snus user.

As I said Rick - I'm absolutely not interested in the politics ... but I would say that if the site is to remain truly independent and a real source of impartial information then I don't think it's fitting for anyone who works within the smokeless tobacco industry to be a moderator of the site. Surely that's common sense.

I couldn't care less about the mod status, it's nice not getting caught up in all the drama. That's not my beef here, my beef is that they dumped Chad for what I'll bet is something silly and let soooooo many other douches get away with murder.

I suspect I too will get banned for shot stirring now, lol

[squeezyjohn]

Now - with that statement Rick - I'm in 100% agreement with you.

I hope you don't get any repercussions for raising what is simply what is important housekeeping that the site needs to hear from it's members. Without it's members SnusOn is nothing, nada, zip, zilch, zero!

(I wish it was Zero ... he was a good member!)

[squeezyjohn]

Oh - and Rick ... it's "couldn't care less" ... see my other post for the logic: http://www.snuson.com/showthread.php...ight=americans

I saw this today and was in disbelief... Chad is among the most respectful people I know of - and I'm talking everybody I know. Taking this forum's population as a subgroup, he is definitely in the 99th %ile. Why on earth would anybody ban him???? Yeah, he linked a sale - a friggin great sale. Some folks might not have ever had the opportunity get get top tier snus - Ettan vit! - at $2ish per can. Yes, Chad's website probably saw some boost, but in terms of clicks per ad, we are talking cents here, not dollars. This is the worst decision the admins of this forum have made in the time I've been here.

oh damn, this is one of my pet peeves and I didn't even catch it on proofing of my post. I'm embarrassed now, lol. I will edit my post now :-)

Maybe he got banned because he didn't include Granit los in his sale. Who in the hell uses Ettan White? Aside from that, Chad has done A LOT for this forum. He has been here almost as long as any other active member and was a moderator at one point. Why ban the guy? I can name you many members that have come and gone but Chad has been here the whole time.

[rickcharles606]

Ettan makes a white portion? j/k....I've had it once, blech. Now, Ettan regular portion is divine, but I prefer Granite.

I find it odd that none of the mods have come in to offer an explanation, nor are they online, at least not under their normal user name. Oh well. I also heard that SnusOn is putting up a webstore again, and maybe that's the reasoning behind this.....they thought they were going to lose money.

I know why he was banned! Simple... we have not had a controversial thread in months. This will give all users an opportunity to bitch, moan and complain... then as always, things will return to normal and we will carry on until the next controversy presents itself.

See, that's just it. Maybe "back to normal" isn't what this site needs any longer.

I agree... webcams with live sex acts would draw more users... especially if it was free

This site needs a lot of help. Snuson is in a coma. Banning chad is just adding a nail to the coffin.

[GoVegan]

Why not just warn Chad not to advertise? I think it is great if you want to set up shop. I might even be your best customer if you don't charge a left nut for shipping AND treat the other members who have done nothing but good things with some respect!

[GoVegan]

Please bring back Chad to our pad!

[rickcharles606]

I for one, think having another webshop is just a last ditch effort to make some money before the bubble bursts. Too little too late, if SnusOn wanted to make money, there are FAR better ways for them to do so, and I was trying to lead them down that path....but NOOOOO, lol.

Online tobacco sales in the US will be gone very soon....watch and see. The FDA will eventually put an end to it, it's already being talked about in certain circles.
