They blocked me saying I was spamming others. I ONLY MADE ONE COMMENT ON THE PAGE EVER AND THEY BLOCKED ME. Waste of your time. This could happen to you.
Anyone can write a CrowdTrust review. People who write reviews have ownership to edit or delete them at any time, and they'll be displayed as long as an account is active.

Clearly the hate here comes from people, that approach their membership with alot of emotional support needs. It's a forum, consisting of tens of thousands of members. You, naturally get into heated debate and run occasionally into the typical douche nozzle but you can ignore them and move on. You should approach sites like this putting your emotions aside and keep it subjective. If you really can do that and clearly these reviews here reflect that for most of them you should not be on the internet. There's plenty of useful information to be found but a lot of people will insert themselves into topics just to be annoyed. Because of course they do not agree with a certain topic avoid them it's that easy. Stick to the information that you seek or that you can share with others. In the end audio karma it's just a website. And again I've run into a couple of douche nozzles I just ignored them this site allows you to do that. And overall a lot of people are there for the same thing as you being passionate about a hobby that we all share. If you can't be a ball player with that you should not be on any forum or the internet for that matter again just to repeat myself.
I registered myself and from that moment on I was rejected. I was never able to post a single character there ...... They never told me the reason. If you contact the admin he doesn't respond. It is impossible to communicate with this BULLY organisation. Total incompetence on their part.
They blocked me saying I was spamming others. I ONLY MADE ONE COMMENT ON THE PAGE EVER AND THEY BLOCKED ME. Waste of your time. This could happen to you.
WORST, ABSOLUTE WORST user site online. Unfriendly people who make sarcastic remarks. Snarky comments. Mods who favour certain members over others. BAN BAN BAN you'll eventually get reported and banned. WORST, ABSOLUTE WORST site online. I'll NEVER us it again.
Pretty good site with a lot of information about different aspects of audio. My only complaints are that several members berated and belittled me for having an audio system that they deemed not good enough to be worthy of discussion, and one of the site moderators even joined in on this. Not a great way to welcome a new member.
i was unfairly accused of spamming and i was NOT ! i made a few posts to stimulate some discussion they were fair and neutral I was almost immediately banned ! I wanted to participate that forum is just full of bullies ! they need to UNban everyone and takeaway the ban hammers !
I had been an audiokarma member for nearly 20 years. For whatever reason, I was one day unable to log in. There was no way to contact the admin without logging in, whch I could not do. I opened another account and messaged the administrators about the problem and explained I was creating a new account since it was the only way to communicate with them. They banned me because I had two accounts. And there is still no way to communicate with them. Total incompetence ontheir part.
