Just asked a few simple questions about upgrading my pc. Split them in different forums because no one answers a thread after a couple replies. And the moderator straight up just says: "Stop wasting o... See more

No history of asking for reviews

This company hasn't invited their customers, so reviews may not be representative

Biased but not to there sponsors products

Biased site against all but their sponsors products. Again their editors are lazy and don't look for deals sending back you to their people. Completely sad. Wasn't this way in the past...kinda like a foreign entity took em over. Also claims to have breaking news...there's another lie. Just another example how a company has been bought out.

Was a good place years ago - now don't bother !!

This used to be a site I would use regularly when I was younger for information on PC hardware & it was great back then, nowadays it's a complete stuttering mess with all the advertising popping up everywhere - I hate it - won't be visiting again & deleting from my browser.

Commits Fraud

This website appears to fraudulently utilize AI-generated article images for things that do not exist, passing them off as actual images. This undisclosed and fraudulent use of AI is an outrageous violation of journalistic integrity. Example Here:
[Trustpilot fails to allow links. Google "Toms Hardware Nvidia Sold 900 Tons of H100 GPUs Last Quarter, Says Analyst Firm" and view the article image]

The website score is 2/5 for potentially illegal journalistic fraud.

Inconsistent mods

Inconsistent mods - members with multiple honorary labels and 'awards' are allowed to insult users. When users defend themselves against the e-thugs they are censored or deleted. It's a terrible place for intellectual debate, learning, or free exchange of knowledge.

Poor layout - content that is more valuable often is buried, and the search functionality does not locate subjects well. You'd have better luck finding knowledge in YouTube comments.

Product Marketing and Affiliate Sales clearly mean more than objective journalism or education - This is the devolution of the 21st century internet. What was once a wondrous place where information could be curated and freely shared, we now have ceaseless advertisements and shilling for corporate products. This website has become the metastasized tumor of all the modern web's ailments. It should be allowed to die.

This website used to be a collegiate-level exchange for knowledge, learning, and objective reviews. Now it is a graveyard filled with immature bullies seeking to grasp onto moderator and community "power", and crush anyone who might share an independent thought.

tomshardware moderators are psychopaths. Avoid. Denounce

They came to harass me in my thread about PSU cables with spam comments that "I don't post pictures" when I posted the manuals which has pictures... and most importantly specifications

and, deleted another thread lying I got another like it. The 2nd thread was about case cables, and the forum got 2 separate subforums for cases and PSUs. The threads were completely different

When I asked that the abusive moder who deleted my post be de-moded, and reported the other 2 mods for harassment, another psychopath mod banned me again lying about me, doing me an insult

These aren't moderators at all, they're psychopaths getting pleasure from abusing other people.

Finally, I didn't get valuable information on the forum anyway, so I can say I am safely against this tomshardware.com community for the rest of my life, just as I am against every company who ever did me any intentional injustice

Whoever stand for justice, stand against tomshardware.com psychopaths from now on

P.S. It just struck me that they deleted my post (and harassed me) because I bought a Chinese computer case (and probably other international hardware indiscriminately), and these are Americans, or pro-Americans. This means tomshardware.com is biased

A quite useless forum, avoid

If you've a computer issue, avoid this forum, it's mods are quite useless and unhelpful.

Only one person bothered to actually provide some valid and knowledgeable information that might provide a solution, the rest was ad hominem and time wasting.

This page is full of false information. It will also randomly ban people like myself for helping others (reason troll). However i own several world records on 3d mark on specific systems on air. I can not describe how horrible this website is in its stats, tests, advices, everything.

This site BANS with no ability to find out why or to fix it

I am not in favor of this site because I was banned with the word troll as to why. "You have been banned for the following reason: Troll." That is the only information given, I am not able to find out why, or even email to get it fixed. I should also say that I have only asked questions never answered any. A total of three different times. I have no clue what I could have asked that made them call me a troll, it was always about my laptop and how to do this or that, I don't use bad words nor am I ugly to others, I am truly mortified by this and think that it is crazy that they have no method for someone to clear up or at least get the reason to have a better understanding. I think it is for the most part iresponsable to simply ban, the responsibility as we all have is to make things better! You can't make better without explaining a problem! Last thing that I find not ok is that I am not allowed to remove my account at all! I again think it is nuts to not have any method to allow for one to at least contact to find answers when this happens. ( I didn't even know what a Troll was, how embarrassing!)

Not what it used to be.

I have been a prominent member on this site since 2010. I have to say that things have greatly changed over time. Mods like to push products and their opinions like the world of god. I have asked for my account to be delete because there is no place for me in this awful place anymore. You wonder why the forums are empty compared to 5 years ago? Blame the mods.

Terrible forums with terrible…

Terrible forums with terrible moderation. I had a problem with the same mod as someone else that posted here: ex_bubblehead. He claims that people break rules that aren't published as rules. He apparently has his own rule book and doesn't share it with anyone.

Most stalinist forum ever

Most stalinist forum ever. The admin doesn't like your name? BANNED. You ask a "troll" question to another comment? BANNED. You said the word illuminati? BANNED. You ask how to edit bios in hex-editor? BANNED. Created another account? BANNED. "LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD" more dictatorial than stalin and mao combined lol. Avoid these losers. :)
