Ok, after seeing the posts about the bullcrap that GW is pulling and reading that there were no posts on the GW forums about it. I felt I'd test it myself by posting a basic, non inflamitory post asking "How you, the paying customers, feel about this new policy?" Note, I did not post a single comment badmouthing GW directly or anything "opinion" based, just a post asking how people felt about this new policy and where they think it will lead for the online retailers.
I timed it, in under 15 mins a GW Mod locked the thread and stated that it was "OFF TOPIC". I posted it in the "general 40K Universe" forum, so yeah since I didn't use the term 40K in the thread it MAY have been "off topic" but COME ON whats the harm in letting it stand and seeing what the PAYING CUSTOMERS thought?
The GW Natzis strike again I guess.
Whats next? I guess the retail shops that are in the same town as an official GW store better watch out, next GW won't want Retail Competition!
