Ken, known as Jeneje on GRF and owner of the Refinement of Precious Metals forum has been banned after a thorough discussion among the moderators. His banning is based on his actions on GRF and RPM.
Recently he condoned a thread here on GRF which was intending to solicit members to pay for data. When some members pointed out the potential flaws in the data in a professional and factual way, he took the thread over to his forum and announced it would continue. And when Chris again pointed out the flaws on RPM, Ken's reaction was to ban Chris from his forum.
Since many of our members are also members of RPM, we are aware of some of the disparaging comments that Ken has made about this forum and some of its members. These comments are not in keeping with the spirit of this forum, Hobbyists and Professionals Helping One Another. Ken is no longer a member of this forum.
We do not want to create a conflict between these forums. We have many members in common and we do not want anyone to feel they have to choose between forums. Members are free to continue to belong to any or both forums as they choose.
