Censorship at it's best.... What happened to the First Amendment?

You would never know that anything had happened...It was like I never existed for a month. These admin guys hold our "forum life" in their hands.
Just like the poor guy who wanted to make gladiator T-shirts... he got the boot for selling on the forum

I also installed the LED reverse bulbs from head light revolution. They made a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE in my vision backing at night. The brighter reverse lights also seemed to balance the plate lights that are obnoxious usually.

Got a part #? That is a HUGE difference! Mine had that horrible glare, as well, but the Tazer update turns off the tag lights now, when in reverse to keep from that horrible glare. And while it helps, I still can't really see a damn thing farther away than 10 foot behind me...

I've been banned from a bunch of forums, some I was a member of for over a decade...And they went all funhouse PC and started banning those who spoke-out against their dictatorship ways, and next thing you know, you go to log-on and, and you're getting a pop-up saying you've been banned for _______ reason.

You get numb to it after a while...

I posted an alternative option to a sponsored product and my posts were removed without any notice. It aggravated me so I posted them again and was told that I was being banned for "just wanting to cause trouble" and for posting off-topic on a thread. I also can no longer post on that thread. :lipssealed:
If a forum sponsor, one of those folks who directly pay for this forum, announced a new product and you posted an alternative, that would be rude. You should have, however, been notified of your post's deletion and the reason, so there would be no recurrence. If, however, there was an ongoing thread by a regular member who said he bought this and that and you posted an alternative, that should be just fine. At least, I hope so.

So, which was it:? You being out of line, or the forum admins restricting discussion of products that compete with sponsors?

While I respect where you are coming from I cannot disagree with your statement more:

"If a forum sponsor, one of those folks who directly pay for this forum, announced a new product and you posted an alternative, that would be rude."

For example if Bestop was a paying partner of the forum should people not be aloud to post pictures of a Rugged Ridge top therefor self promoting a competitor product to some level? The forum exists not to be run or used for exposure just for the paying partners but for anyone to be able to show what they have done, installed or otherwise. I see people asking for ideas or links etc. from people who posted something they installed. Are we not to give that information if we haven't checked to see if a paying forum partner is a competitor of that product? That's B.S.

they were plug and play. VERY easy to install and required no modifications from a programmer for the LED. They sit in the housing a little" loose" feeling to the hand. But they dont flicker or anything and the light angle doesnt change as if they are moving while i am backing up. Ive replaced almost all the OEM lights with LEDs from that company. Not a single complaint and they are all worth every penny, especially the headlight and fogs.

This custom headliner protects the heat in our country, reduces the heat/sound around 30% to 50%. In summer, the weather increases around 100'F to 114'F. So, the OEM headliners isn't enough.
