Regretably, this post comes to you in the form of a Part-2. For Part-1, click here.To our friends and community,The entire /r/CCW community and the associated Moderator Team has a long history of-- what we have been proud to call-- an excellent relationship with so many of the industry's leading manufacturers. We maintain these ongoing relationships with their marketing and social media teams, we routinely receive communication from them regarding their discount codes (sidebar > Vendor Discounts) and holiday promotions, and we truly love and cherish these relationships. Very, very rarely have companies attempted to abuse this relationship or abuse our community. The /r/CCW Mod Team maintains a hidden and private platform to log notes and internal communication regarding suspected abuse by these manufacturers, in conjunction with troublesome users of the community, and other ongoing matters which we discuss as a team. This is not unique to /r/CCW and is a common practice for large subreddits and such communities.One manufacturer has become the target of an extensive, prolonged, and troubling discussion regarding their practices on /r/CCW. This manufacturer has a clear, planned, and calculated agenda of abusing our industry's "best practices" for marketing and social media management. Furthermore, this has become so troublesome and flagrantly offensive that the /r/CCW Mod Team has come to the horribly sad conclusion that the only course of action is an outright-ban on all mention of their name.We did not come to this conclusion lightly. This was a horribly upsetting decision which involved multiple days of discussion, and subsequent sleeping on our decision (multiple times), before we ultimately decided that this is the only possible remaining solution.Tl;dr: ...For the foreseeable future, all discussion and mention of Kore (Kore Essentials) will be automatically removed. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/2QIeh3h
