If you had really been lurking for 10 years, the response to your initial and subsequent posts wouldn't have come as a surprise to you, because you would know the history.If my post was taken as it should have been, an opinion on a product, all good, but apparently stating a product is good is frowned upon unless people agree with that. Didn't realise this was the MacDictatorship forum![]()
- Maintenance apps like this are not required to keep Mac OS X running efficiently, as the OS maintains itself.
- Other free apps such as Onyx and Monolingual do not have the same reputation of causing problems for users.
- CleanMyMac has a history of causing problems for many users. Therefore, its reputation is tarnished among more experienced Mac users and forum members.
- Over the years there have been several MacPaw employees and/or shills who have joined the forum only to defend/promote CMM, then they disappear after 1 or a handful of posts. They had no intention of contributing to the overall forum; only to promote their product. This is a violation of Forum Rules.
- Your first two posts in the forum were to defend/promote this app, which is consistent with the pattern of shills or employees.
- Your vehement defense of the app in the face of factual evidence that the app's reputation is in question makes you sound even more like someone with a vested interest in the app's success.
- If you had been lurking for 10 years, you would also know the Forum Rule about trolling, unless your "lurking" consisted of visiting the site briefly every few months or years.
- As I said before, if you had truly been visiting the site for that long, you would have found plenty of opportunities to participate in this discussion, as I myself have participated in well over 100 threads on this topic.
