And there was me feeling special for having been banned.
I didn’t realise it happened to every Tom, Dick or Harry…

Hi I was a member of the MSE site but hadn’t used it in ages. When I came to try and post I just get a message on the screen that I don’t have user privileges although it allows me to sign in. Have I been banned? Oh well never mind I will live without it althoughI have e-mailed them but got an auto response that they were too busy to reply which I found quite annoying.
I was miffed about the bank charges debacle as it actually cost me over a hundred quid to serve papers on my bank through the court only to have the whole thing frozen for months and months and in the end I let it go and cut my losses.

I lasted all of 2 days on MSE forum, it looked good and I read his bit about amazon being cheaper through his site. went through the links and realised it was actually 12.5% more expensive! I brought this up on the forum with screen shots and the thread was gone in 15 minutes and I was banned.

I’ve started using a new UK money saving forum: http://www.saverscene.com/

the guy’s cuter and as far as I know not gay!

Hi,

Below is an email I sent to Martin Lewis website today.

Martin allowed a thread about our company to run for weeks while he tried to see the company brought to its knees, when its supporters replied to the comments made about the company and tried to offer explanations to a confused public, the site threw everyone that supported us off, barred our IP and then stripped the thread of our defence and then continued to let his lynch mob lie deceive and slander without recourse as thousands watched.

This website is a loose cannon and needs closing down now!!!

Sir,

You were sent an email by my company yesterday telling you that you had until this morning to remove the thread about us which was one sided slanderous and which had admissions of criminal activity.

You have failed to remove the thread and now having read the whole thread again with all of LRS originally initiated posts having been deleted it makes little sense and the attacks on us are still defamatory, unfounded and damaging and have no place on your site, there are still several quotations from our posts included in others posters’ posts and these – taken out of context – show a wholly distorted view of what LRS has said on this thread.

You have until 12pm today to remove this thread in its entirety or the whole copy file of the original 16 pages will be forwarded to our solicitors and the police to start civil and criminal proceeding against your company and its member posters that you are protecting.

The site has now changed some of the last really derogatory comments but still will not remove the thread so now we will need to carry out our threats and sue them and report them to the police.

We have gone onto face book and searched martin Lewis and there are a couple of groups on their which a proving that this is not the first time his shoddy web site has done this to people.

I’m at my wits-end with Martin Lewis and his censored forum.

On every page within his form, he clearly states ‘This is an open forum – anyone can post.’ – If only this were true.

What’s totally frustrating is he offers no direct right-of-reply for any company that is discussed on his site. Instead, you have to send an email to his ‘abuse’ team requesting they investigate.

On two occassions now, innaccurate and defamatory information has been posted about my company. Whilst their ‘investigation’ is carried out, the rubbish remains published for all to see.

Finally, days later, when ‘the powers that be’ decide to act, they quietly remove the post. No apology, no correction, no statement.

So, thousands of readers get to read defamatory information about us, causing us damage and he simply does not care.

Great post and well done for standing up the UKs biggest Consumer site/forum.

Forums are there to give balance to a debate – if they have an itchy trigger finger that bans people for adding their opinion – then this site deserves some bad publicity!
