I see no reason why that would be taken down. While it's not really politic to call someone's board shitty, it is a valid point, and "shitty" is not really something that would warrant a post being taken down, as a couple of us have demonstrated already. Maybe a mod thought it was a bit gatekeepy... but it wasn't the language that did it.

i posted a screenshot of a thread in about me not knowing that razer sucked and stuff and in the thread someone said something along the lines of "you must experience shitty keebs to truly appreciate a good one" and i think that is why it got taken down. It did pretty good until it got taken down by the mods

The other custom manufacturers have just as long wait times and many times worse QC. Vendors that keep on loading new GBs without any prior fulfillment experience is why every manu gets long overloaded queues - there’s probably two rather new vendors responsible for half to queue at each manu

Clones are harming the community members that make original art, there’s no reason people can’t make their own original in stock keycap set designs, clones are just taking the lazy way or by stealing from those that proved there was market demand.

Maybe, but if people want them so badly, why get clones? It's clearly not GMK they want, but the designs, and they aren't designed by GMK.

>My view is clones are fine as long as GMK acts like this

How are GMK acting? They just make what they are paid to make, and in the quantities that they are told to make them. They don't design them. They make keycaps for many clients, not just for group buys in here. How are GMK acting?
