I like how OP rather explicitly accused AMD of market manipulation--which is fraud--and still hasn't been tagged with a trolling/locked thread, which tends to be a very speedy action in the CPU/GPU forums here, due to the tireless efforts of the overworked mods fielding the endless stream of complaints that these forums seem to generate.
It makes me wonder where the majority of the reports for assumed examples of "trolling and character attacks" come from, if the example here hasn't generated the typical speedy mod reaction that would certainly happen with this thread had it been directed at OP's least-preferred silicon-manufacturing team.
Or, it's legitimately not considered trolling for reasons. I would think that non-vague accusations of fraud require actual evidence, though.
(this is not meant to be a mod callout, btw. It's a members-who-endlessly-report comments callout.) It strikes me as rather cynical that certain members are easily and quickly offended when others accuse one team of unfair, non-competitive, exploitative pricing schemes, and consider such comments as "trollish," where as comments here that suggest actual fraud are posted by and supported by (hello, tell-tale likes) those very same members that are the quickest to call for trolling in the other direction.
Caaaaaareful, the mods have a dozen kittens and the occasional baby shark when one member calls another one out Use the report feature on Arach's original post...like I'm going to do right now.
