MacRumors Bewertungen 

A site run by man-children who ban people arbitrarily once they've developed a personal vendetta against them. They actively target users with certain political views and will allow political posts in non-political sections of the site as long as they agree with their views. They play favorites with users and allow certain users to regularly violate the rules and will delete threads and ban users arbitrarily in other cases. I have been a member of many forums for many years and no site is more poorly run than this one. It is a travesty.

I got this message after i just replied normal simple replay on their forum

Advertiser's favored infomercial for-profit website, MacRumors. It is owned by former physician nephrologist Arnold Kim who apparently has seen more money in this website versus 1-2 million dollars a year (average salary for nephrologist with 20 years experience per US Department of Labor, The Bureau of Labor Statistics) as practicing nephrologist (although it's much harder job than running a website). Maintaining community appearance for money’s sake, total fake, as it is an independent privately owned publication with 10 permanent employees. Moderation and enforcement is done by untrained volunteers with different knowledge levels. Reviewing Arnold Kim, Editorial Director & Founder at MacRumors articles about Apple services and products for past 5 years did not see any single critical review. That is saying a lot.
Besides the own frequently deceptive and inaccurate articles, a track is being kept on the forum for any "Apple-Dislike" posts from members. Eventually, if you are seemed to MacRumors as too critical of Apple as a company, for example poor policies, you will be marked as a spammer and banned. That's what happened to me.
Definitely unexpected, considering my expertise and knowledge, in some way it will be a loss of profit for this establishment.
Recommend to look at everything posted on this site from a very critical standpoint.

Macrumors comments or questions that defy the quality of Apple products are removed or reclassified so that you don't get to publish. They rig tech sites to become their advertisement machines and even use people to make comments on them and create fictitious reviews and conversations is ridiculous. Macrumors is just an advertising machine. I suggest going on YouTube and look for real influencers who are not paid to brain wash you into feeding the biggest monopoly in the world. Let alone iPhone 13 being a scam to steal your data. Stay away from this site.

Biased moderator, some product censorship, even they was legit product, they will deleted immediately when user review posted product which MR doesn't like, too much relying contents from other sites (they not geek enough to dig information with their current staff)

Due toxicity of forums, many power user moved to others sites because current forums seems doesn't relevant when talking more complex Macs topics albeit they still have very useful threads and great people there.

The old MacRumors is very great site, but sadly today MacRumors, especially forums is no more than boring adults place searching for admiration.

Lastly, critical feedback more often ignored, e.g changing giveaway article to US only giveaway, this was addressed from long time, but no response . They made huge advertising traffics from non US international reader, can at least they should give us chance?

My Pi-Hole, router, even my hosts files now is blocked all MacRumors domain so I can reduce burden of moderator staff no need to blocking my IP address anymore because I am already banned all MacRumors domain to not touching my network and devices.

Thank you for this last 20 years journey, from site aggregator to just merely advertising puppets. I think that's very cool achievements.

Great Buyers Guide resource. Good discussions and articles. Very bad moderation that plays favorites and restricts many types of discussions. I’m not saying that’s atypical but it’s sad that they can’t achieve the higher heights the very smart community is capable of.

Good Mac rumours site For following Mac news and rumours about products.
The community is nice: lots of nice discussions but some bad moderators that play favorites with biased policies. Just avoid talking politics there if you’re any sort of conservative or libertarian or not on the left and you’ll be happier.
The buyers guides are the star there. They chart when Mac products are updated and give you good advice on when to buy and not buy to avoid being stuck with last generations gear.

It can be a good place to get information, but the moderators play favorites on what they allow and don't allow people to say. And they are quite clear in their FAQ's, don't like how we moderate? Tough. Leave. LOL. So yeah, if you get a mod that wants to single you out because they don't agree with you... good luck. Be prepared to be banned. My advice, stay clear of the main article forums. You can occasionally find people that know what they are doing deep in the product specific forums. Oh, and never ever contradict a mod. Can't win with this group.

Not a honest web site
If you talk critics about Apple you will be banned .What a douchebags
I report them to BBB and IRS
their reviews not even correct anyways

Paid puppets makes this site ,they don’t know anything about Apple , some broke loser making money with false informations that’s all
Also too many lowlifes don’t even own a Mac goes there and making stupid comments to

I was banned for merely suggesting that a diversity quota played a part in Apple’s falling quality control.

This is a good website. I enjoy reading the news on it sometimes.

Can't believe how many bad reviews here. People got banned for being rude on their forums and come complain here. Haha - good luck.

Admin staff of their forum do not know how to moderate properly. They BAN people out right for being in the same IP range as someone else thinking it's multiple sign on accounts. My friend came over and sign on to the site (on my wifi), and we both got banned! And after contacting their staff, they refused to release it without even discussing it. I know a ton of people this has happened too and the admin staff are power hungry people. Sad to see that site go down hill after being on there for years.

Never signed up for their newsletter.

Super side til os der er nysgerrig med, hvad der sker i Mac verdenen.
