So, Chad got banned??

[GoVegan]

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.

Sad but true. They are trying to ban it in California which is the most populated state. The other states will be sure to follow.

MANY states have this on the table, it's just not leaked to the press yet. This is a movement led by brick and mortar shops nationwide, oh and anti tobacco Nazis.

Paging Dr. Dog...where are you? I know you're logged in and have read this by now. I'm interested to hear the "SnusOn" official press release on how they banned one of the most influential snus guys in the industry. I'm betting the manufacturers are wondering too :-)

So it appears Chad got no warning and is surprised about the ban.

yep, that's the way I understand it. Who knows, especially since the moderator team won't offer any explanations.

Be very careful about what you post or you might get banned.

[rickcharles606]

maybe mine was just a "timeout", lol. Either way, I feel as if we deserve an explanation.

Chads little post about a sale saved me about a hundred dollars......! I no longer feel free to mix it up around here....I try to keep to chat...and that is not so much nowadays. All the banning has got me concerned and paranoid about feeling free to yuckit up a bit. i was hoping that staying away would bring in some newbies who otherwise would feel intimidated. But loosing Chad is killing the very spark and soul of the snus scene, what are we supposed to do without that impetulant irrepressible fart?

And why wait until after I bought that whole roll of Jagerpiss...."a smart sassy new flavor" my butt!

Agreed, what exactly did he do? Only love for Chad here. Even I have reigned it in with some of my posts.

I hope you are wrong about that, but more than likely you are right.

[rickcharles606]

I'll tell you what I think happened, and if I'm wrong, please have one of the mod's come in here and correct me.....he came in and made an announcement about his 5th anniversary sale at SnusCentral. Which I think should be done in a "specific" forum for the online vendors to use. Having the online vendors come in and announce their sales will only help the consumers/members of this site.

If they ALL have the same ability to do so, then it's equitable and the playing field is level. My fear is that SnusOn is planning on launching it's own site, which we all need like a hole in the head. Alas, they will do as they wish.

Sadly, the mods/admin/Aki have all be "oddly" absent since they've banned Chad and I, but I have a theory about that as well. Best not speak it though, hate to get banned for 20 min again. The funny part is that my ONLY purpose here is to help the members of this site get snus into their local stores and I'd hate to see SnusOn get in the way of that. Once upon a time (and I still see glimpses of it) this site cared about helping the snus community...it wasn't just a place for people to hang out. I'd love to see Snuson have real purpose in the push to make snus more mainstream in the US and rest of the world.

An explanation would have been nice. Our responses congratulating Chads 5th were deleted as well. I thought that I'd done something wrong. At least I know what happened now, sort of.

I'm not active here at all, but I do lurk and read some posts almost every day. Just wanted to chime in and give props to Chad for what he does providing info and reviews for us, and to Rick for getting snus into stores here in the US. I agree that the days of online orders are numbered. Thanks again guys.
PS- Thanks Chad & Snuscentral for the awesome SALE!
