DynoFlash Forum & Vendor Forum Mods on EvoM
After careful discussions with all parties involved, the moderators and I have decided on a plan that we think will help put aside any differences and help improve the quality of the site for the future.
Here's the details:
1. DynoFlash will now have an official forum on our site under the Vendor Forums section. Al has also received his DynoFlash account on the site and will be able to now answer tech questions, product questions, offer services, etc as a vendor vs a member.
For now, the account will be limited to posting only in the DynoFlash forum. This means that Al will only answer questions within his forum, so if you want to hear from him I wouldn't post in the General or Tech sections. This was a decision that all the moderators felt would be a good compromise for the time being. As time moves on and things move in a positive manner, the DynoFlash account may receive additional permissions. Those decisions will be made by the moderation staff at the proper time.
If any DynoFlash questions do arise in the tech or general forum, then the mods will make sure to move that over to the DynoFlash forum for Al to answer.
You can visit the DynoFlash forum here:
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/fo...s=&forumid=108
DynoFlash's profile can be found here:
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/me...o&userid=13943
Al and I have discussed this offer by email and he has agreed to return under the terms we specified.
2. All vendor forums will be moderated by EvoM staff members, blonde and Secret Chimp. This will allow us to make sure that things stay in-line with what we expect of the content on our site. They will also act to protect the forums from flame wars and arguments that deter from technical discussions, etc. If you have any issues with a vendor forum, please contact one of the two listed above. Their profile pages are listed below for your convenience:
- blonde
- Secret Chimp
In addition, blonde and Secret Chimp will be helping out moderating the actions of the vendors on the site. If you have any issues, please contact blonde, Secret Chimp, or myself to discuss.

Excellent begining. perhaps this will be a prelude to a much better functioning forum. I hope all the personalities who've abraded each other and the inocent bystanders will refrain from doing so in the future..... Good job KK. awesome diplomatic skills and commendable flexibility in all the parties involved.

I applaud KK and the Evolutionm.net staff for coming up with an excellent compromise that literally favors both sides 100%. I am confident that the new set of rules enforced by such a dedicated staff will help the site flourish in the long run. Good job guys, another rainbow after a few rainy days.

This will be a new beginning. I look forward to keeping my thumb on the pulse of those forums. And if anyone happens to see any Vendors fishing in other the threads of other vendors, let us know.

I'm surprised Al even came back without a public apology by those who banned him in the first place.
However, I am glad to see this step in the right direction. Time will only tell if this is truly a heart-felt move by the site management or just a trick to get post count and hit numbers back up.
*edit for "site management" - Yes, I am skeptical about this. But only due to the fact that what I've seen in the past couple months so far has not been mended with just these actions. If this decision turns out to be one that "fixes" EvoM for good, then I would commend "site management" for their efforts and their ability to wake the f*&k up. But there's always a big IF. I have hopes that this will finally end the "Al situation" and wish the best outcome for all of us.

This is a very positive step for the site. Congrats on working out a better situation for all--site owners, site users & vendors.
One note for Blonde & Secret Chimp: You'll need to put some thought to how you will handle those that are not the vendor but act upon the vendor's behalf. Often, these minions are the "dogs of war" for the vendors. The vendors must have a stake in these people's action.
Basically, you and the vendors need to acknowledge these allegiances & the vendors need to have some accountability for attempting to keep the known minions from flaming on their behalf.
I know that will be a difficult thing to police, but it is a crucial part of this issue.
My 3 cents.
