Doing my bit to keep this at the pointy end.

Sad indictment on forum management that he remains a vendor.

I agree. Even a remark I made not too long ago was deleted, and I guarantee it wasn't obscene or anything like that, but it was removed and disappeared very quickly

I never understand why forums support bad vendors. I unfortunately have been out thousands of dollars due to this. (Poor quality carbon) Forums are supposed to protect their members and be more educated and be willing to help stop the scamming of the new members. Unfortunately there are a few VERY bad vendors on this site that must be called out each time because the forum operators would rather keep a few bucks of ad revenue than have a safe forum. It is especially egregious when the forum moderators delete comments that would otherwise steer a new member in the correct direction to not deal with the unscrupulous vendors…

vendor hits that broken record of DMX... "i'ma give it to ya" on repeat, and delivers nothing.

again, just ship & make delivery to your paying customers; until that happens, Mode Carbon = empty promises & 100% scam.

HEAR HEAR!!! Think back on a lot of other products peddled on this forum. I complained years ago about half of a day’s worth of new posts were vendors peddling their ‘stuff’. Feel free to insert what you know I want to use for the word ‘stuff’.

There’s enough reading material out there to educate yourself about this Company of 1.

Reason? You’re kidding. Right? It’s the $$$. The vendors pay the owners of this forum to advertise their products. Overnight businesses. Here today gone tomorrow. The vendors control the forums. No $, no forum. Simple.

They reason why it's still a problem is because you will likely be a repeat offender.

What amazes me the most is the resilience of Mode Carbon.
Despite an astonishing amount of bad reviews, unhappy customers, and delayed deliveries, they keep their head held high and proud. "No, it's not my fault, everybody is happy now".

Even when it makes no sense. I am in hospital for a month = orders are four months behind schedule?!

Incredible.

He’s ONE individual. One. No staff. No ‘company’. He’s a single point of failure.

Why won’t the people who started all of this confirm if they’ve been repaid in full or not???

Because if they were fully repaid, and still let this gang-up continue for who knows how long, then that’s kinda fuked up.

I’ll ask the obvious question then: Does it really matter whether the money was eventually returned?

He took money and stiffed people until a big enough stink was raised on this and other forums (think BMW).

If it were your money, would it matter if it were returned or not?

Of course. Absolutely. Positively. Most assuredly. Yes.

And after all the noise for years why would I look at this guy and think I’d ever consider buying anything from him?

More so, why is he still allowed on this forum?

Resilience is an interesting / valid observation. I guess we have to hand him that. I guess. But as for the rest, please cease and desist.

Did you get your money back through the CC company? If so, in his delusional mind you have been righted and all is well.
