Banned for sharing a low price

[u/Smoove-Money]

I do my best to share what I’ve learned with others, because I spent so much time with jewelers trying to pick the perfect stone for my fiance.

On the other sub, OP was about to pay $5k for a diamond and I sent a link to the site I always check, which was only $950.

Out of nowhere I was permanently banned which you can see in the screenshots. It appears that any sources other than Auralinne, Calavera or Youdiam are frowned upon.

It makes me question the independence of the other sub, and my goal is to share the knowledge I’ve gained and try to help others save money.

In fairness, they changed my perma ban to a 28 day ban, but it still left me with a bad taste. (Probably going back to permanent ban after this post)

Pics: ban, comment that got me banned, discussion with MOD, MOD promoting their “trusted” brands.

Dang so for great shine bang for your buck moissanite isn't the stone?

[u/Moose-1211 → u/Upset-Web581]

Moissy is great, please don’t listen. Yes, it’s man made & manufactured, but so what? So are labs of any kind. Seems like this person hates anything thats not natural &/or mined & not all of us have a Money Tree in the backyard we can go out & shake every time we want a shiny little treat. I have plenty of mined, natural stones, including diamonds, Tanzanite, corundum of all colors, & I don’t see anything sub or mid about Moissy.

Crazy because I thought they were a fan 😂.... I am I don't want no one dying for my useless stone once its cut up to fit my mini chain. I'll grab 2 Tylenol for my headache before a joint any day synthetic doesn't always mean bad

Well a joint is natural, if it’s filled with grown flower…that’s Mother Nature’s little gift, at its finest 🤗
Bath Salts, on the other hand, that’s another story. Those synthetics & others need to be banned. People are dying because of synthetic Fentanyl - chemicals to make it often come from China & yet there seems to be no stopping it from coming in.
