Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Axiom getting trashed on 3 major forums

I'm with you Bren, this is the only audio/video or audio only forum I visit. I do visit a fishing forum but very seldom post, some of those characters are a little too red behind the neck even for my southern self.

Just putting this out there but JCB activity has been suspended by blu ray forum mods....sounds like some had a legitimate beef...although I do agree some have taken their remarks a bit to far and far to often...IMO

The thread over at AVS was just offically locked but you all might want to read what admin...(Dave Bott) has posted!

I love it. Same guys on AVS as on Blu-Ray.com saying the same things. Getting a "public" (it really isn't public) forum backed into a corner being forced to make a decision. What a bunch of crap.

Incidentally, it was alleged that jcb is Axiom's own Jc. If true, his affiliation should probably have been disclosed.

OH, I started reading the AVS thread. I love how a few of those guys play off of each either. Pure-Evil saying blah blah blah, then good ol' GTPSuper comes in like he doesn't know what PE is talking about, but is going to "check it out". Well duh. GTP was a major 'contributor' of the trash talk. Of COURSE he knew what was going on.

As someone else posted there, a number of companies had employees on the forums, but most got fed up from the abuse and left. What a shame. You have someone with intimate knowledge of the company and product line, and they get so much bashing that the resource is no longer available.

And those guys think that they are "helping"...

the world would be such a better place if everyone assumed positive intent....until proven otherwise. but unfortunately, the opposite tends to happen.

i'll have to agree that company reps should identify themselves as such to eliminate the perception of them being paid to post praise for their employer. it keeps things on the up-and-up.

i have not ever been to the blu ray forum, and have no intention of doing so. it's hard enough keeping up with this one. at avs, i just monitor one thread that pertains to my projector.

Sadly, it was him and even more depressing, he did not disclose...at first. Later he did disclose, but it was way too late. The damage was done. Hence the reason he was suspended from blu-ray.

He tried to defend axiom and change the trolls minds, but got sucked in quickly. I applaud him for his dedication to the company he so much loves, but he should have known better IMHO.

Like I said in my opening post, it was everything I could do myself, not to post and defend axiom and slam those idiots. Somehow I resisted...

This has snowballed way out of control and this could do serious damage. 4000 views and hundreds of posts between 3 forums is not good for any company. I've been reading audio forums for over 10 years and I have never seen anything like this.

I just hope Axiom can step in and undo at least some of this...that avs thread needs removed completely. At least blu-ray deleted all those damaging posts. No ID company deserves that...

It's just my opinion all, but what the hell do I know. Just venting, this whole thing has pissed me off.

Agreed.

i don't think jc (on the Blu-Ray forums) would have been successful in changing the trolls' minds. they only want to do the most damage possible.
if they had been able to get all the experiment papers from Axiom, that would have fed them with more ammunition to criticize, as if they were expert designers.

they're there only to make trouble, and let's hope it's all finished as they've had severe warnings lately.

Yea, JC's situation was just too vague for a while. "Not on Axiom's payroll, but one of their experts and tech question answerer." is just too close for some people to say he is an employee.

I still defended and will defend against utter trolling and stupidity, but it wears on you after a while.
