I restored all posts that were ever deleted from that thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=774278.0Unfortunately, I just realized that I don't have any way of distinguishing between posts that were deleted by the OP and posts that were deleted by posters. If you deleted your own post in that thread, you'll have to delete it again. Sorry if this is inconvenient for anyone. I'll think of some way of fixing this for the future. I also restored all posts deleted by moderators from that thread, but I can distinguish those, and I might clean them up if I have time later.
Okay now I'm confused as a moderator, for other manufacturers slowly but surely deleted just as many posts as this, even though it was done progressively instead of in one fell swoop and it was deemed within the forum rules.
Now what?
I don't know about those other situations, naturally.
In this case they are deleting posts in the middle of a situation where their miners are starting on fire.
http://ecointalk.net/topic/1348-my-x3-caught-fire/there are two instances reported on their forum of fires. not smoke, or the smell of ozone. fire in the cases.
they are denying on facebook that this is happening.
as of yesterday someone is reporting on their forum that they weren't even notified.

Where the fuck is the warning email? My x3 have been running upp to this very moment, and I accidentally went back to the forum to see what's going on. Are you out of your mind?
In sure there or others customers who received their x3 and are still note informed."
their initial sales pitch on this forum included a promise to price match any competitor at time of shipment. they reiterated that promise several times. this critical consumer protection element has since been refused. they initially agreed to refund people's money, some several months ago, and are now refusing. at this point it seems they have no concern for the safety of people.
they used this forum to solicit business. they used this forum to make promises to consumers that were material promises in terms of the decision to buy, they are now seemingly attempting to use this forum to scrub relevant information from their thread that pertains to a serious safety issue.
There are multiple instances of unethical behavior here, IMO, with damages to consumers in the tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars or more. The latest development is an apparent disregard for the safety of the consumer.
A scammer tag should be applied to all accounts having to do with this business, IMO. I don't know what the forum rules are, but something has to be done to stop people like this from using this forum to mislead consumers.
