PSA: the Xiaomi forum for the mibox has been locked to nonusers

by [deleted]

If you don't have a registered account you can't even access or read the posts. Not sure why they would do that but seems weird. If someone is a member over there may be they could shed some light on it?

Probably all the Nvidia owners going in there telling everyone to buy a shield.

inb4 Kosher telling you why you're wrong and this is a good thing and it's not even locked anyway but it should be because you just don't understand and your complaints aren't valid btw did you try rolling back?

Haha, my best guess is, it has been locked, because Mark cannot stand criticism. Users banned by him were still been able to read comments there. And while he can do banning users and black out unwanted comments there, he cannot control the internet and other portals where they can cite him.

But I can understand the other side to. Xiaomi easily can get the domain if they use their lawyers. As they forced to rename fan portal, facabook and youtube channels when they opened "official" store in my country. So if he shows any weakness, Xiaomi can easily get him out of business. Remember to this when you want to start business by using other companys trademark.

That's crazy. What if I am considering buying a MiBox but I want to do some research first? Why shouldn't I be allowed to access that forum?

I can't even get to the forum anymore as a registered user. The site returns a 403 now.

When you see the trash comments here its no wonder its been locked down. Perhaps people are equally tired of users abusive commentary and behaviour?

The Mi Box forum was a good place until recently when some users decided to be idiots and toxifying the forum with their nonsense. Add that to the fact the person who actually got the movement going for fixes was MarkHUK in the first place (And he didnt have the Product) but then later suffered the same ignorance as the failed updates Xiaomi put out in the first place to ALL users. People should get their facts in check before they moan on about their bans for vulgar posting or rudeness.

Not one person is perfect or without blame, ask yourself WHAT DID YOU DO to fix this box personally? Not much I can bet!
