This group is offered as an alternative to paid advertising based CADCAM discussion forums where the advertiser is always favored over users when push comes to shove.

For years I experienced censorship and banning on paid advertising CADCAM forums, official CADCAM company run forums and on CADCAM fanboi blogs. The censorship and banned occurred when I called CADCAM companies and their fanboi's out on specific issues. That's not going to happen in this group to outspoken, knowledgeable, CADCAM users who posts facts... ever.

Comments should explain in sufficient detail why the technology you are discussing is a leading edge technology. Comments like "xyz CADCAM is the best!!!" or "abc CADCAM sucks!!!" will be deleted. Hard hitting, fact based, comparisons between different CADCAM products are acceptable and encouraged. Here is an example of what I consider to be an acceptable, hard hitting comparison:

xyz CADCAM has direct modeling tools that allow me to work quickly and easily on non-native solids. abc CADCAM has no real direct modeling tools because abc CADCAM only has a Replace Face tool for direct modeling and that adds a feature to the history tree. I find xyz direct modeling tools to be much better because our shop mostly works with non-native solids."

No personal attacks of any kind will be permitted in this group.

No job postings our allowed without seeking my permission first. The only exception I will make is if the job posting will benefit CADCAM programmers who want to make a career change and work for a CADCAM company. All job postings will require my approval first.

I just received my 4th email in 2 weeks from people I know that are "occasionally active" members on "Doughead Banqueers" MODERATED linkedin group.

They informed me that any postings they try to make that in anyway "disagree" with the "dougheads" cadcam views are "not approved" and thereby deleted before anyone sees them. He will not allow any postings that do not follow his "agenda".

They said that if they post anything that agrees with his views, that the "doughead" will approve those but will not allow postings that do not agree with his views.

Just a little info for your amusement....

Fair rules that work well!

No one runs a better CADCAM discussion group.
