Hi Jim,
I do sympathize with those affected by the so called guru issue (though I wasn't a victim this time around) as I experienced a refund issue with another famous 'guru' (which I refuse to mention names).
No matter how good the product from that guru is or how much people are making from promoting his products, one thing is for sure, I won't be promoting them. My way of saying thanks to 'him'

(though he won't feel the pinch, but at least I have to clear my conscience for my subscribers)
But I totally agree with you to remove repeated threads, especially if the threads is not to 'inform' potential buyers, but more like venting frustrations!!??
Too much negative energy only demoralizes people. Let's face it, there are crooks everywhere, why waste energy on them, save it for our business instead.
A warning for potential buyers would be sufficient, but to harp on the issue repeatedly in a non-constructive manner is a no-no. If I were the board owner, I would have done the same.
Good work, Jim!
