Home Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

Maybe manufacturers of Tweaks should be excluded?

Either if they are trying to sell their products, or has been the case here, trying to cast aspersion on hobbyists experience which can have the appearance of trying to discredit ideas which might impinge on their livelihoods or even their "beer money" ventures, if that is the case?

When people selling tweaks seem to take pleasure in making fun of amateur's tweaks and not in a substantive way, just sniping fro reasons that have escaped most of us, there seems to be something that is usually against the rules of the FORUMS, but seems to escape the letter of the rule on the TWEAKS forum.

Who is to say that someone who sells tweaky stuff who makes fun of an hobbyist's tweak is not trying to promote their product which is not allowed in other forums? Could this be a form of self-promotion? When someone makes a verbal spectacle of themselves it does verge if not cross into actual self-promotion, in my opinion.

After what I have read I wonder if it might be best to ask manufacturers, and especially manufacturers of tweak stuff to recuse themselves from the TWEAKS forum for all but answering questions members have about their specific products.

Of course, they can always find surrogates to post for them but that would be easier to ignore.
