I'm going to be a lot more shocked if GAW isn't some form of Ponzi scheme. I have had a handful of accounts on HT banned for merely questioning GAW's practices. I've created accounts, knowing they'd be banned, for the sole purpose of asking 1 question or making 1 statement(NOT rude in any way shape or form) and watched them shadowbanned within minutes. They didn't even exist long enough to earn many downvotes and in some cases got upvotes but ultimately got banned anyways. If you create a new account you basically have to walk-on-eggshells building up a reputation before ever questioning anything about the almighty GAW. I have 5 tickets open dating back to August 5th and not a single one has been resolved.
lol whats funny is Josh and his minions say you only get banned for being disrespectful, but that's bs.
You get banned for posting your opinion if that opinion differs to his. Thats the truth of the matter.
For example, I got 10 upvotes for my last post saying we should downvote gaw_ceo for the unexplained delays with his announcement last week (and this was as a result of a reply I made in another thread where someone else said the same thing, to which I replied in the affirmative, and I was immediately upvoted), and the mod that banned me 2 posts later had -6 downvotes last time I looked for banning me haha. Says it all really. But meh, who gives a fuck? I could create another account but realised after I was banned I really only visit the site to check the latest announcements anyway and I can do that w/o logging in. The whole things a cult anyway.....
