HKJON Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Dear Hookahforum Members,As you all know there has been some events lately that have everyone concerned. I would like to let everyone know that the issues have been addressed and there should be no more problems going forward. The problems were never with the members of the forum but rather between the admins and moderators regarding vendor publicity and respect. Without going into details, we hope there will be some modifications to the rules that vendors must abide by. This forum was created for the hookah public and was never intended as a place for vendors to promote themselves.Regarding certain members being banned, the admins have never banned anyone as these responsibilities have been and will continue to be owned by the moderators. There were some misunderstandings between the mods and admins but everyone's original status is intact.Having said this, the Admins, would like to appologize to the forum community for the unrest and discontentment that was created. We also would like to let you know that all forum needs will continue to be managed by the mods while Admins refrain from interfering or taking matters into our own hands. I hope this explanation is sufficient for all and that everyone may continue to enjoy themselves once again. Respectfully,Jon and AdamHookahforum Admins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASUSEAN1 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) so will we have all direct linking back, and keep the vendor reviews open? it is only fair to have a forum where we can have an unbiased decision on who to shop from. if you want customers from the forum, then you need to have the customer service, selection, and prices the consumer wants.. as the hookah market grow it is becoming more competitve so you need to step up.. and not try to control the forum becuase that is just going to piss people off Edited May 4, 2007 by ASUSEAN1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxOR541 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Thank you. A big reason for the uproar was things being done behind the scenes with no explanation. Bringing things out in the open will go a long way to healing the wounds and keeping the forum alive.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthEastSmoker2 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) Glad to see things out in the open, and I hope that they stay that way. Also very glad to hear that this had nothing to do with members stepping on anyone's toes, as I think we were all sure we hadn't done anything wrong or crossed any lines. That being said, my original account (NorthEastSmoker) is still not working.. I wasn't banned, and I am in pleasant contact with adrock trying to fix the issue.. any forum software experts have any ideas?

symptom CY Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) My account (cymptom) isn't working either. I'm quite confused -- all these account removals are technical glitches that just happened to coincide with this whole conflict?

Dr.Moobs Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 So im guessing Djbomberto's account is still either deleted or banned. Since he told me this in private, Being his Moob Physican, i would like to inquiry on the recent status of his Account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 The account problems seem to be widespread, many accounts are now broken. the admins will have to have it checked, as us mods just more or less run the forums, we cant fix things XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
