| July 22, 2010 brian warner Men's 55 54 posts | Happened twice now I have seen 2 different discussions about this new Veteran Bat. And they both have been removed. Why does this keep happening? I thought this board was to discuss our sport. And the new things being created for the sport. |
| July 22, 2010 AZTOMC Men's 55 139 posts | I was wondering the same thing. Any answer? |
| July 22, 2010 tattooball 774 posts | It is the rules of the board. You are not suppose to promote sales on the message board. When a 2 post poster comes on the board and post's reviews, price, website and contact info it violates the rules of the board. If you look at the banners you will see that they have a seniorsoftballstore.com Tanel Easton Miken and many more companies that pay to advertise here, contribute goods to the program all so that YOU the players benefit. Why would they allow someone that contributes nothing to they program to make this his personal sales board? If you ever looked under where you respond to post's the rules are clearly printed, here they are. - Inappropriate language - Disparaging comments directed toward any individual - Promotion for other senior softball organizations - Advertising for commercial products, services or websites |
| July 22, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | There's a pretty rich history to the message board helping it and us positively develop our community to where we are today. SSUSA reserves the right to remove any thread in the best interests of senior softball as judged by them and we fundamentally support them taking the initiative to do so. |
| July 22, 2010 AZTOMC Men's 55 139 posts | This wasn't advertising it was opinions on a bat. No different than when there are discussions regarding the different Combats or Ultra's or all the other bats that have been discussed on here. No one tried to sell the bat, just relayed their experience with it. What happened to free speech? |
| July 23, 2010 Senior Moments Men's 60 66 posts | AZTOMC -- You have stated on other message boards that you are a representative for the Veteran bat. How could you give an unbiased review of the bat? Appears to me as a sales pitch. |
| July 23, 2010 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Website policy has been to remove an entire thread to create peer pressure when anything or anyone becomes objectionable. I learned it had nothing to do with anything that was said about the bat. The bat stuff just went along for the ride. By the way, I've heard some good things about that bat. I remember hitting an earlier model and it was very hot but didn't last. If they made it more durable that should be a very good bat. |
| July 23, 2010 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | I have read positive as well as negative reviews on the bat. The bat reflects the legal 1.21 BPF stamp which would on the face of it be legal in SSUSA, T's. However as things seem to be perhaps there is another issue no one has brought up...the assn stamps. Did The company need to pay to have it actually be "allowed". A buck or what ever per bat made or sold is a gravy train for assns that require it. Free money. That in the long run players who purchase them would end up paying for. At a cost of 159.00 I believe, it seems to be a very good buy, but a 30 day warranty period is just lip service. |

| July 23, 2010 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | I need to amend my post here. I was informed SSUSA does not receive a fee for bat use with the assn label. Manufacturers may etch the assn label into their bats, but no stickers. Sorry for inaccurate info posted. |
| July 23, 2010 AZTOMC Men's 55 139 posts | I'm not a rep for the Veteran bat. I forward any bat requests or questions sent to me to the bat developer. I have batting practice with Bill and hit the bat. I gave my opinion on it. My review is unbiased and just my view on a good bat. Not a sales pitch. If you want to buy the bat you will have to go thru the proper channels, not me. And, #6 OOPS there it is????? Great comeback big guy! |

| July 26, 2010 AZTOMC Men's 55 139 posts | Senior Moments don't you have anything else to do but ride my ass. I said I don't rep the Veterans and I DON'T! I'd put on here how to get them but it would get deleted anyway. Now, get a hobby or something and pick on someone else. |
