I recently made some valid complaints about the Jaeger Brothers mud flaps on The Mustang Source. The complaints were met with tons of drama, from people I believed worked - or were the Jaeger Brothers - because I can't imagine normal citizens/or readers of the site would go to the length they did to insult me for stating an opinion about their mud flaps.
Well, unbeknownst to me, after months of being up, the comments I made about how I didn't like the flaps were all taken down, with the "nice" ones left up. Also, my account was deleted without warning! I didn't use it often because The Mustang Source allowed their users to beat me up for stating an opinion, but when I replied, "they" (Jaeger Brothers, Moderators) PM'ed me, threatened me, docked, and flagged me - even though time and time again, I said "this is my opinion, leave me alone, drop it" - they were the ones who kept it going with their insults, not me.
This is supposed to be a site not only for car/mustang people, but for reviews. How can there be fair reviews if THe Mustang Source will take them down when advertisors go whining? How am I, or others supposed to know about the product without FAIR reviews from both sides of the aisle?
Not only does this promote bad-business on the part of the Jaeger Brothers, but The Mustang Source took away my first ammendment rights - to not only NOT LIKE a product, but to complain about it.
So, if you plan to post on the Mustang Source - make sure that you don't post anything negative about the Jaeger Brothers, or any other advertisors because they'll delete them and delete your account without warning. With TOTAL DISREGARD for First Ammendment Rights! The last time I checked, first ammedment rights can't be compomised because a company doesn't like a negative product review. You don't see Ford whining everytime someone says something negative.
Also, I've noticed that on many threads where people made harmless, valid complaints about the Jaeger Brothers Mudflaps / Splash Guards, many "people" go in for an attack! Hmm... For people who deal with muscle cars, you'd think they weren't such whiny little babies when someone doesn't like their product??!!
So, in review - The Mustang Source caters to the whims of Advertisors. Obviously the content didn't violate Terms of Use b/c the comments were up for months!
