Hobby King Banning user and Rigging Negative Product Review

Mr Anthony Hands of Hobby King,
This is Open Letter addressed to you. Please introspect and reply it personally.

Hobby King has been a 'Necessary Evil' specially for 3rd world country RC hobbyist like mine. But please don't continue to insult and marginalize your customer who pay you for whatever your (cheap) product deserve. Or are you beginning to think that you are giving some kind of 'Foreign Aid' to us, for which we should be quietly bowing down our heads?

Why don't you just change the title of the Tab below your products in HobbyKing.com from "Review" to "Positive Reviews" or better say "Testimonial", when you expect and "Enforce" positive reviews ? It was long back I was banned from posting in your Coterie "Hobby King Live" forum because I highlighter one of the corrupt and unethical practice of your organization.

Now just yesterday you banned one of my fellow flyer who for long had been a Blind Deity of your company, despite being smitten time to time. His only fault was that he posted a negative review of one of your trash product, of which your crooked Forum Admin jacked the user rating from 2 star to 4.

If you want to keep your company like this, "My way or highway", please, please, please remove this misleading, larger than life review system which your Admins regularly, deliberately and under official oath, rig and manipulate, making people fall prey to chose a product which you want to clear the stock. No matter how cheap you sell your products (specially now when for long you are not the only one!! ) It is still cheating to manipulate reviews by other users. I bet if you running you circus from US or Europe, you would have been cooling your heels in the jail.

To all ya Hobby King Fanboys, you don't need to become a blind believer to attain Nirvana. Nirvana needs enlightenment and conscious till the last breath. You can continue buying cheap items from Hobby king like me, without the need of bogging / bullying me for this post.

I too am unhappy with how HK are treating me, I ordered a skysurfer with extra parts, only the plane and some of the parts arrived, I have been arguing with them for the past week and a half about my missing parts. I will NEVER buy from HK again.

I always put a negative review when something i find in my opinion is bad, and get angry and fight with support when my shipment is lost or delayed, but! i learned over more than 5 years of a relation with hobbyking is that in the end you will get what you are entitled to, if its a refund or shipment resend or warranty or whatever you would face, the only issue is that they are terribly slow and you need to follow up constantly.

Regards
