Problem with another forum
Problem with another forum
by Mac3blade » Tue Dec 05, 2017 10:11 am
i joined the TORREVIEJA FORUM.COMA FEW MONTHS AGO AND PAID ALMOST €10 per year for the privilege. Imagine my surprise when I read a message from PayPal saying that they have received a refund of my payment and the annual payment plan cancelled. A message said that I could follow the link for further information...I did this but saw nothing to enlighten me. On top if that, I cannot even log into the forum anymore. I have tried repeatedly but had no luck. I am absolutely shocked by this...does anyone have any information or hearsay about this subject? I, like so many others rely on these forums to find information and services while in Spain and also enjoy the chit chat. Help!

You have annoyed the owner of the Cabbage Patch so he has kicked you off it does not take much just something like mentioing another social media site or posting a URL of a site

Thank you very much for your answer. I believe you may be correct as I did ask about another forum. Thank goodness I have not been kicked off this one which is excellent and free. I am absolutely shocked! What a waste of space! Disappointed though as I love these forums.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

There cant be many left who live in Torrevieja that havent been kicked off there. I think their admin is power crazed or easily upset.

Yes I too fell foul of the power mad guy -Jeff is it?, for posting a link to help someone
The other torrevieja forum on the the other hand d was dominated by a horrible few people who were allowed to post abusive and demeaning comments with no retribution., so decent people stopped posting. That forum is now finished as of this Friday and I don’t think the other one will be far behind
Jan does a cracking job with this forum long live Talk Quesada lol

I think that if you check your junk mail you’ll find emails from the forum owner.
I had one saying that i’d broken the rules and my account had been suspended until I followed a link to the forum rules and e-mailed him back to say that I’d read the rules and promised not to break them again.
A while later, after a few very positive emails from the admins thanking me for my support, one of the admins on the forum made a post asking for suggestions about how to improve the forum. I responded with a suggestion and the owner emailed me saying that although the suggestion was a good one, he would have preferred me to have made the suggestion as a PM rather than a public post. That isn’t what the admin who made the original post had asked for, and I really didn’t like his tone, so said that if he wasn’t happy with the way I’d handled it then he should terminate my account. The next think I knew I had a PayPal refund for the remainder of the year, so that was the end of that.
It’s their loss in my opinion, so I now frequent this and one other forum instead. I was also frequenting the other Torre forum, but as it will be ending in a few days the standard of behaviour their has deteriorated even further, so I’ve walked away from that one.

Thank you for telling me your story. Yes, a strange way of behaving. I do not care anymore and am so happy to have this forum to benefit from and the other one can take a long walk for all I care. I am simply amazed as all I needed was some help and cannot see how I offended him but I must have done so. What a strange world. I am scared to ask for the name of the other forum you use but would love to know it as I always enjoy all the posts and great advice given by people like yourself.
Keep up the good work everyone and in particular,Jan.

Not sure if I’m allowed to say the name of the other forum, but it covers the whole of the Costa on which we live and it’s name reflects that.

Several years ago I was also kicked off the other Torrevieja forum...and so have most people. I'm simply astonished it has lasted this long with the absurd rules...the man who ran it was a real control freak, clearly with nothing else in his life. This forum is brilliant. Thanks Jan.
