Despite being buried in the archives with only 78 votes after being posted four years ago, this original post regularly receives reports. 49 in recent weeks, to be exact. Whoever is upset about its existence seems to be confused as to why exactly it shouldn't remain live, as they've tried reporting for everything from "involuntary pornography" to "political discussion" to "it threatens violence." What is clear, though, is that someone is abusing the report button to harass the r/cars mod team into taking down the post. If you, friendly r/cars reader, or you, serial report button user, haven't figure it out yet, that's not going to happen.
While r/cars no longer allows "consumer reports" type posts, we did four years ago. Regardless of the post category, we feel strongly that
- if you have an opinion that takes issue with the content of a post the correct way to handle that is to engage in discussion in the comments and
- if you feel that a post breaks the subreddit rules you can report but are well served by reaching out to the moderation team via mod mail to discuss. Using the report button is encouraged and useful when a post or comment obviously breaks the rules, but we can't read your mind, so when it's not obvious you have to give us more context.
So, the original post stays up in addition to this new one. If anyone would like to discuss it with the mod team, please send us a mod mail. If the contextless reports continue, both posts will stay up and maybe we'll find some new ways to bring visibility to them both.
Here's the body of the original post for your own information. Do with this information what you will.
Do not buy a manual from this site. The product I bought was advertised as a fully printable PDF-file, instead I got a strange OVA file (virtual machine file). I looked up what other people had said about these manuals and it certainly wasn't anything normal. I did not download the file.
Their refund policy states that I can cancel my purchase in 14 days starting from the purchase date, and so I tried to do. But they are REFUSING to give me a refund, just telling me that it is only avaliable in an OVA format when the website clearly says PDF.
I used PayPal to pay, so hopefully they will help me get my money back, but no luck yet.
Don't bother with these people.
