[IC] "Team Spirit" - PBT Dye-Sub DSA GeekHack keycaps! (PimpMyKeyboard.com)

Well, the post that caused me to stop following r/MK was when a guy was bragging about his self love being all over his keyboard before sending it in to be RMA'd. He goes into quite a bit of detail, and needless to say, I was eating. From that day forward, I was done with reddit...clearly there are no restrictions, reminds me of the old Cole Porter song, 'Anything Goes'

I guess you've never come across Elrick's comments, things can get quite sexual here as well:

It appears that r/mk may one day threaten the good name of our established business, Mechanical Keyboards, Inc. May it never be so...do you hear me foul-spirited redditors... 

Way to alienate a large portion of business for your website, imo.

That's most likely the whole of r/MK. They may have 60,000 "subscribers," but probably 1% actually read and post in the sub.

Some people are taking Zero's tongue-in-cheek White Knight post a little too seriously on Reddit?

[00zeRO]

Misunderstood, once again...

The point I was simply trying to make is that there is much that is said on r/MK that is not very good, a lot of mud that is slung around. And I certainly hope that those new to mechanical keboards wouldn't look at the subreddit and think it has been set up or moderated by our company. That was all I was saying.

I just read the headline blast from ripster. Now I get it...

It's almost like Ripster takes things out of context and molds them into clickbait.

[whentheclouds]

that comment was made days ago.. ripster is falling behind. strange, given how he spends half his day here. i also find it amusing how reddit is offended when someone takes a dig at them, whilst happily partaking in ripster's Geekwhack charade at the same time

it's dangerous how one such comment can potentially affect your livelihood this day and age.. i feel bad for anyone who has to deal with such scenarios on a daily basis

He summed it up pretty well, because it is /mechanicalkeyboards and his stores name happens to be mechanicalkeyboards.com , he doesn't want people to think they are run by the same person.

So you followed up one generalization with another. Seems you weren't misundstood at all. Edit-pwnarwhal's post cleared it up for me. I never assumed mechanicalkeyboards.com & /r/mechanicalkeyboards had any affiliation whatsoever but I suppose it's plausible that someone might.

Pretty sure you can find examples of these on GH if you look hard enough. Ripster is those things exemplified, but an entire community? Stop yourself.

How can there be team spirit between two rival factions in such way?

Truth is there should be a sense of community among us all...whether GH, reddit, or any other keyboard aficionado club. I wish it would be team spirit, and maybe even see DT have a key available in this set even...

I was going to add a Deskthority key but I didn't think there would be enough of an audience. If the groupbuy is successful there will probably be a second run, which will have DT keys.

No one thinks its moderated by your damn company. And if thats a risk maybe you shouldn't name the company with the actual name of the product being the entire make up of it.

Lol, what's funny is for the most part reddit, particularly /r/mk, is good-natured, largely due to the voting system and backlash of downvotes. They're also pretty understanding due to the desire to support each other over what most 'outsiders' would consider to be a frivolous/nerdy hobby. The overindulging & overreaching might have some credence however.

If anything I initially had to tone down my angry/hateful comments because of how sensitive a lot of them are. I think one example was I stated "who cares what someone does to some old keyboard anyway" after a user painted an IBM keyboard black and the subreddit was against that on principle. I still stand by that statement, it's their property, but I tend to keep those comments to myself now. Not saying I don't ever step out of line though

Well, the post that caused me to stop following r/MK was when a guy was bragging about his self love being all over his keyboard before sending it in to be RMA'd. He goes into quite a bit of detail, and needless to say, I was eating. From that day forward, I was done with reddit...clearly there are no restrictions, reminds me of the old Cole Porter song, 'Anything Goes'

Retraction: I didn't mean to generalize, and for that I am sorry. There are foul-spirited redditors, but they comprise but a small percentage of those who submit reddits on r/MK. One of which is nothing more than a tattler, and I am sure many here knows who he is and why he is banned from GeekHack. I should have never even typed a single syllable. For that, please accept my apology: I am sorry.

Wow so a vendor puts down a whole community and because someone gets upset about it, it proves the vendor right? And then members of GH go on to mock new accounts. Even if it was taken the wrong way there were enough people who obviously thought it was a tad harsh. I always took the negative things said about GH with a huge grain of salt because it was only coming from a select few. I come here recently excited to join other keyboard enthusiasts and instead get **** on and mocked within the first few days. I sorely disappointed in this community today. Im almost certain now this will be met with some form of "dude get your panties out of a twist" or "whatever go back from where you came"

[nubbinator]

I appreciate it zero. I completely agree there are nasty people over at /MK, but theres a good chuck there who just want to share in a hobby.
