Your blood test results are welcomed and a credit will be applied to you when the time comes just like I've done for marcus or tmac.His recent gear that he shipped me SEEMS to be good, not saying that it is. Could be placebo for all i fucking know. I have a log going.
BUUUUT i must say that he looks to be toast. Hes banned from reddit and i think hes donezo
however I don't consider sending gear in exchange for a fair review of the product a Bribe, it is no different than sending a free sample,
If you read in my earlier thread I ordered 3 times under diffrent emails names and post boxes. All paid for from me.PI, I'm not trying to be an ass... I respect you and admire all that you contribute to this board... I do have a question for you. Did you order anonymously from Spetz?
I mean look... I feel like he's really taking care of WKMs here... He's smart and picks his spots... Very calculated and when he's in trouble, he throws out some free gear to some in efforts to sway people to give him a quiet thumbs up....
Edit: damn... right on cue.... If I only sent this 5 minutes earlier
Honestly, this shit on reddit is not at all fair. The evidence is weak at best, the mods there, one in particular is not at all being neutral. There's fuckery about on this one.If you read in my earlier thread I ordered 3 times under diffrent emails names and post boxes. All paid for from me.
I have never received free gear. Spetz did send me b-12 I did not ask for it and he did not tell me he was going to.
If there something your trying to ask then ask. I speak truths and always have.
Thanks PI
I'm confused, how do you know the mods never asked his side? Because we were all told this by those involved?

They didn't gather the facts and only showed ONE email link to a whole conversation.
There's nothing before the conversation, and nothing after the conversation. Just one part where spetz said, I'll send the gear free, can you give me a proper review when you get it.
Even if it's true, that he is bribing people, the mods never asked spetz his side.
There's always two sides and a bigger picture.
Okay, there was an initial post from a mod that gave a screen shot of a single email conversation between Spetz and one of the users on Reddit. It was only ONE email and it was only what Spetz was saying, noting else. No other information was given other than he was "bribing" users and he was banned. Btw, the email was a week old. The user had in fact received the product And given Spetz a proper review.I'm confused, how do you know the mods never asked his side? Because we were all told this by those involved?

No no, I know brotha, I was talking to alpha kapa.Im not taking about over there. Im talking about what was referenced towards me and just letting Johnson513 know.
Regardless of anything that happened, there is little reason to ban him. The board could've handled it themselves and just not purchased if they felt there was a viable threat. Just another form of censorship. I do not know what happened, but the truth always comes out and if the mods would've let it run its course, the members could've handled themselves and dealt with Spetz directly if there was something to deal with. I fully appreciate and respect the way this board runs and how Millard has allowed this to come to fruition.Okay, there was an initial post from a mod that gave a screen shot of a single email conversation between Spetz and one of the users on Reddit.

Now, it went from this one email, to Banned. Nothing was by the moderated by the mods as far as getting in between Spetz and the other user.
I know, because I asked a ton of questions and the particular mod admitted to NOT knowing all the facts. Also, couldn't answer a few of the questions like;
1. Why did this guy wait a week to come forward?
2. Why did he come forward?
3. did he recieve anything?
4. Did he make any review (later found out he did)
5. What was the other conversation before AND after in the other emails?
6. Let's hear from the redditor who came forward. (No answer)
Again, the mod said he didn't know, or couldn't answer.
There was no rebuttals from Spetz and to my knowledge was not approached by any of the mods before the decision to ban was made. If I'm wrong, Spetz, speak up.
From the start, all the facts weren't gathered correctly, it's too easy to poke holes in the ONE email and misinterpret what was really said and too many questions have gone unanswered, especially when the mod himself has said he doesn't know for sure.
This was a vulgar display of power, a rash decision, and that's not how good decisions are handled. Even if it was slightly true, it was handled horribly and has more holes that Swiss cheese.
I know spetz isn't without controversy, but he did not deserve what happened over there.No no, I know brotha, I was talking to alpha kapa.

I got a buy one get one-free from Chipotle the other day. I didn't even ask, all I had to do was fill out a survey. And they just gave me a free burrito! I ate that shit and it was good!How can you reasonably expect the review to be impartial and balanced when you gave them the product for free.
The answer is you can't.
That is the issue. I could care less about SST politics, by your own admission you offer/offered free product in exchange for reviews, without being transparent about it, since this was only brought to light by the individual sending a screenshot of your exchange to the subreddit mod.
This makes any and all feedback of your products suspect as far as I'm concerned. Operating this way discreetly without making it clear you are sending free product in exchange for reviews and not letting the community know before hand is greasy imo.
What if chipotle had started selling burritos that where they were constantly found to poor quality ingredients. There was an uproar in the media about this and customers were outraged that there hard-earned money was in a sense being stolen by chipotle every time they eat there. So chiptole had taken a hit to its reputation, and began giving away burritos with the request that a review be given after the customer eats.I got a buy one get one-free from Chipotle the other day.

I can only assume they did it so I would tell my friends about how good it was and I/we could come back for more.
Is my review of them suspect?
Is chipotle shadey?
No, my review of the free burrito is valid even though it was free and I didn't ask for it and chipotle is fucking delicious.
So gtfo with that shit
Yes! I can. Also, great analogy.What if chipotle had started selling burritos that where they were constantly found to poor quality ingredients. There was an uproar in the media about this and customers were outraged that there hard-earned money was in a sense being stolen by chipotle every time they eat there. So chiptole had taken a hit to its reputation, and began giving away burritos with the request that a review be given after the customer eats.
Therefore Chipotle knows which clients are going to eat the burritos that are to be reviewed, and have their resteraunt rates on. Although not bribery or illegal, it is somewhat shady when the same practices are applied to something like illegal drug sales, where we as clients depend solely on the words of others in the community, their feedback, and their bloodwork. When people are chosen at will to review a product and the seller sends this product, he then knows can pick and choose who gets what. I am not saying Spetz is doing this, but do you see where there could be great fault in this method and why some might be upset about these practices?

I think people have gathered facts and continue to do so, as we have all said before, this thread is a testament to Spetz's abilities as a source... Good or bad, it's the customer's decision. Each of us is educated enough and has enough of the facts in front of us to make a well-informed decision based on evidence and experience from members here.Yes! I can. Also, great analogy.
Do we shut down chipotle willy nilly? (And not even tell the owners)
Or try to gather the facts first before smashing a brick through the windows?
Both?
