For everyone who followed this thread, I had some doubts about XF, but this is coming straight from yet another founder of XF. So it became crystal clear now how these guys operates XF. It is ironic that they would act that way when they were the first to whine and appeal to members during their litigation time with IB asking for everyone's support and saying that they are the better people and the good guys, they were opportunists.
So for everyone, think again before buying a XF, they will certainly censor you if they find you criticizing them, that logic is garbage and shows that they are insecure about their own product quality, and that is why it fails when you give few developers the ability to start their own company and act as managers as well, they have experience in web developing may be but not with providing current or future customer satisfaction.
In business, no way should you act that way especially if you are going to sell a product.
You can't compare 10 years in business like VB with different level of teams and departments to an opportunist 1 year in business like XF which is founded by 2 web developers (Mike & Kier) and a 1 business manager (Ashely).
If you love hypocrites ^ who loves to violate their own terms and rules, be my guess. So Brogan, one of their staff, has the right to mention my name with lies to secure the way XF looks but I don't have the right for my response to him to be approved and shown publicly to address his lies but it gets moderated and deleted. What kind of delusional people are they.
If vb did anything like this, and started restricting members profiles because they criticized vb itself for the past 10 years, vb wouldn't have survived all these years and their reputation would have been tainted as one of the bad companies. Xenforo just won this title. Give it a try and start testing XF's behavior, you won't be surprised by their treatment. This is not a one case scenario, this is a matter of good principles and i certainly dislike sugar coating.
For them to censor my replies, they are extremely insecure and they appear to love controlling member's responses toward their product, but what they don't get is that they can't control and censor people's critic outside of their own forum, and i certainly will not invest in XF in the future. And because i didn't violate their rules, my account is not banned but rather they are giving me a limited account access (can't pm my friends, my replies and topics are all being send to moderation).
Imagine if you bought XF and later criticize it just to find that your account was limited and found that any comment or topic you made is moderated and that you can't pm any of your friends at all (function removed). I wonder how you will feel.
Brogan actually had to say a lie such as a "disgruntle Xenforo customer who couldn't get it to work properly" just to make it sound that XF is actually better than VB. When i never bought XF in the first place.

Garbage business model.
And for the record, they haven't denied bashing.
