What a mess. Won't even ask if you're all happy. Seeing that he was almost, if not, the only one here who had clear very well explained answers when he replied. Good for you guys. Promoter or not, he helped way more people here than he received credit for. Even if he benefited from it monetarily ( which I highly doubt is the case) he would have deserved it. Period.
To date, I've never been paid a dime by Pepper to post here. This entire thing hit me out of left field.

Not funny... ok.. kinda funny, but still.

this. if he was kicking puppies and hosing cats on the side then fair play... but if he was getting a kickback for being BEYOND HELPFUL and this is why he was commercialized and the pepper thread kicked to the com corner then there are just no words.

just, no words.

this forum should be so lucky as to have people being paid to be so helpful.

i'm sure we'll never know the full-story, so it's all just heresay.
You know, most people have been saying this in one way or another. All being helpful got me is this lousy t-shirt with the words "commercial member" on it.

And yeah, I'm doing my best to get the full story out, but sadly, Twee is working from info / evidence I don't have nor am aware of, so I'm in the dark on what happened. I'm a little taken back on how this was handled... I'd understand FF's reaction if they were told something that paints me in a bad light, combined with some sort of false-positive way of verifying, but I would have though I'd be engaged first to talk about it given the value I've put into this forum.

doesnt Jack promote himself as some great prop trader, it seems he's an administrator for P'Stone LOL
I'm on an equities desk during my day job, yes.

I'm not an administrator at Pepperstone, nor ever was.

Fun fact: I once talked to Pepper about getting a company rep on this very thread, but after reviewing their options they dismissed the idea since they were worried about compliance. This was just over a year ago, just after the GoMarkets rep blew up and dropped a bunch of personal client info in their thread that shouldn't have been public, so I don't blame Pepper for not being interested.

Beyond helpful about sums it up, paid or not. Pretty sure he wasn't. It actually got him all riled up when I brought it up. Let’s see what develops. Still wondering why all his privileges where revoked, seeing that others still have theirs. Haven’t read up on those rules yet.
I'm wondering too. I'm stuck in limbo for now til Twee gets back to me on a few points.

Yes, all of Forex Factory's revenues come from forex brokers (as explained), but we make decisions based on what makes the site best for traders. As a company we are highly aware that providing the best product is what leads to financial success, not petty pandering to advertisers.

Edit: I forgot to mention that FF advertisers are permitted to host a thread in the Broker Discussion forum. It's a perk that comes with their advertising package. This is explained in our [url="http://www.forexfactory.com/userguide.php#rule3"]user...
Hey Twee, pretty sure your research on the matter was in depth. But, I am still not seeing Jack as a paid rep for Pepper. Not even seeing why they would be doing such a thing, besides what Jack mentioned. But, even then still don’t see it. Can’t be that expensive to advertise here (I think). Not once did he ever offer me things and he posts in other FF threads as well with positive feedbacks. He even has accounts at different brokers. This guy went out of his way to help out others in other threads. Real shame to be putting him on the side lines in my opinion. I sincerely hope you reconsider and reevaluate this decision.

Can’t help thinking that this does have something to do with the Pepper thread being a bit popular, but that is just my thought.

Regards,

Ramy3

Hi,

I use stealth trade managers on my master account. So, i could not help you with this. Can say that I am very pleased with everything else. Open up a little account and give them a whirl. Would be your best bet to get an answer. People in general seem pleased, if you read back some pages.

Hope this helps.

Hi ramy3,

ok.

By what i have read (not just here) there are mixed fealings, with the majority leaning to giving Peperstone a good review (but then again, that is internet...).

I'll open an account and see how they behave. It's just hard to find a good broker...crap.

Was going to say that there are some mixed opinions, hence me suggesting opening a small account. People may have issue that don’t even relate to Pepper and feel the need to bash something in. To be honest, haven’t seen that many bad reviews around either. And, then there are competitors that post bogus reviews too. Pretty hard to figure out stuff in the beginning. Been there. Then, there are latency issues, pc issues and so on…

Good luck and do keep us updated with your experience.

That was a year ago, and it was my own site, not here. At the time, I wanted to try to recoup the cost of hosing my site, since I put a lot effort into getting it online and offer all the material I've written on the site without any restrictions, registrations, cost, membership, etc... it's a free resource.

Guess what? Back then (year ago now) Twee mentioned that it was making people uncomfortable (despite it being on my own site, not here) and I took it down to show that I was more interested in being apart of the community here than recoup the ~$50 a year it costs me to host a site I created for others benefit. Twee was pleased and we moved forward from it.

Seriously?

Do you really think I was trying to hide anything if I used my own name on the FPA review for my own non-commercial site?

They allow you to toss out your own review, and respond to others. I confirmed this before posting such a thing.

And that's FPA, and about my own site, not FF and not about Pepper... what a stretch.

At first I was defensive, but now I'm just getting tired of this false witch hunt.


--

Can we leave this thread to talk about Pepper?

I'm still sorting things out with Twee and I don't care to speculate about things. At this point, I don't even care if someone needs to safe face and not admit they made a mistake or jumped to a conclusion in error so long as it gets corrected.

Duxis, you are the perfect example of what is wrong with society today and always was. “Hey let’s just post and start stuff just to do it. And crucify them before the facts.” If you have nothing valuable to contribute, please keep your asinine remarques/theories to yourself. At least until we get both sides of the story. Man people like you get me really riled up. Get some sorta of life, might help.

Judging from most of your posts i read, i ain’t much off.

Lol, thks for the offer. Max did not claim anything. He was merely suggesting why such a “châtiment” was laid upon Jack.

Let’s see how things works out. I use to love this thread and the people in it. Things have changed. Hey, maybe time for me to move on too.

Situation just really pisses me off. Don’t care about where the thread is. But, do care about Jack. He has become a friend.

This whole situation is just sad and don’t like seeing oil spilled over the fire sensesly. Hope you understand.

I dont think Twee engages in witch hunts. I think it highly unlikely he would accuse another of commercial motives
without first obtaining solid evidence to support your new status.

Of course there is the very slight possibility Twee has made a mistake. But I doubt it.

A dark cloud has been cast over your, and PStone's, integrity.

Not that we should expect otherwise, this is forex after all.

Can't reply otherwise at the moment. So far, Pepper has been good to me. Regardless of Jack. 30+lots trades at times, zero issues. Same for .0x lots and any other increments.
