About users with hidden agendas


If you know that a user is a dealer and they fail to disclose and attacks other users because they make a point against their interest, do you expose the user?

I know of a gentleman here that continuously posts and goes after people and does not disclose who he is. 

What are the ethics of this forum?

I must rectify something here...

My system does not sound better than most system  at all..This is not what i said or claim....

But because of acoustic control it sound NEARER to his utmost own higher potential, yes.. There is no comparison between BEFORE and AFTER acoustic control implementation devices...

It is very important to say that because boasting about our own system means nothing, but informing people about acoustic is very important matter...

 

His system probably sounds better than most because his dedication to learning.

Sometime threads informative sometime they philosophy other time people gather around bicker like woman. This Denny guy post thread to get people talk like click count. Maybe he practice getting iso but for what he already sell cable and bowl. Magister good guy. Sometime pick thread apart like old carcass but I just swipe finger faster. If we have bench press contest I win if we have woman in room she flock to me like crack bead to pipe. I can’t help it we all have strength. We all have weekends. My wife want me to get reduction in pant what can I say that the way it is. Nobody here perfect but people disrespect need to be call out and help. I try help people crazy in membrane. I like that and good with coach people. If someone want try someone in audio court I be judge just let me know who and I arrange it. We do forum trial.

@mahgister I should have said better than some of the systems I listened. I am sorry for the note about your system.

 

I dont want to make you uncomfortable at all..

Your sentence is perfect...it is your own opinion and you had the right to say so and think so... Perhaps you are even right...

I just wanted to add my corrective remark  because people could think that i was boasting about my system...Acoustic matter for me not my choice of gear even if i like my gear..

@mahgister I should have said better than some of the systems I listened. I am sorry for the note about your system.

 

wrt MC and Townshend, one wonders whether a major factor determining his appointment to that position was his capacity to act as an online ‘influencer’ ?

The problem is if someone act freely without any interest attached it is not the same thing if he is paid to say something...

But there is many others audio forum and MC is talented in english prose and i dont doubt that he will succeed...

I wish him the best like i wish it to any people here.... Why not?

You mean the "cure" that hasn't?

Don’t look up! Don’t look up! Don’t look up! Don’t look up! Don’t look up! 

Why not?

not a problem as long as he makes his commercial interests clear before making any ‘influencing’ statements on public forums or publishing reviews in the public domain.

Seems to me like there are a lot of users with hidden agendas on this forum. 

dunno, I think most of them are pretty plain to see - anyway, it’s not your role to think Jeeves.

You haven’t been the same since I started giving you a day off every two months..

“ wrt MC and Townshend, one wonders whether a major factor determining his appointment to that position was his capacity to act as an online ‘influencer’ ?“

I have no doubt of that , along with the considerable amount of time and effort expended  ingratiating himself with The Townshend’s as well as openly disparaging the competency of the incumbent TA distributer for North America.

All part of a scheme long in the plotting whist at the same time seeding the ground here.

please take this elsewhere. It is NOT on topic and only serves to bring this thread to premature closure.

No, not maybe. ....

 

Never a good idea to assume you know what is happening in OTHER peoples lives.

Amazing how some posts get deleted and others stay up. Nothing's going to change around here as long as there are thin skinned people who like to speak their mind but censor others.

All the best,
Nonoise

@nonoise I started to notice that. I wander how the deleting works? Is it censorship or the authors deleting them?

Post removed 

@astolfor , Members can delete their own posts within a 30 minute window (the same for editing). What it takes for one to have someone else's post deleted is to complain (whine, cry, etc) to the mods by having it flagged and it usually is deleted without any real review.

I've had posts reinstated by contacting the mods to have them take a good look at the posts and how they fit it with the context of the thread and not differ with others.  Lately, I've given up on it due to the effort it takes and I don't want to have the mods spend all their time on something so small a matter, so sometimes I post what I did, above. The offenders know it and as a result, those in the thread can appreciate it.

All the best,
Nonoise

@nonoise : members’ own posts can be deleted at any time. From members who posted them themselves. There is no time limit for deletion, the time limit is only for editing.

yes, as @thyname said, a user post can be deleted anytime by said user... no time limit

Wise post.... Thanks...

so you see something, make an assumption, and in your role as judge, jury and moral guardian of the the’’Gon decide to chastise and publicly ‘out’ someone whom you believe has offended your fine upstanding moral code.

What, just what if you got it totally wrong…….

hope you’re feeling truly righteous bro’

Forcing one's drastic / extreme political views publicly is not a good business decision. It's silly. Automatically, half of the prospective buyers (the other side of a political spectrum) will never buy any of your products. Unless of course, you figured out that you will be OK with the other half as prospects, and possibly, even help with sales as you look at it as a "sales pitch" for that other half, who probably would just buy your product in sympathy with your political agenda. I don't own a business, but my guess is it's possible.

Thanks for the clarification guys. I've never had the need to delete a post and assumed that what applied to edits was the same for deletions. 

All the best,
Nonoise

Can't we just have any political posts automatically deleted?

This is an audiophile community discussion site. I am sure there are plenty of political ones where people can be as outspoken as they want about that stuff, which gets more than enough of its share of attention in the media, and I for one, am tired of it.

Other quasi related interest topics/tangents that evolve naturally are fine, especially when they delve into cars.

Can we delete any posts concerning cars?

I hate car discussions...

I dont even drive much...

And my history about driving is not well noted nor well regarded....

And any car discussion divide humanity in two politically  hating groups, me against all others...

😁😊

No communication has been made by me with moderators in an attempt to censor any post made on this thread. If posts have been removed this has been done so by the author or at the behest of another party.

the allegations of censorship on my behalf are both baseless and malicious. A request was made to desist. Period.

If i win my point we will discuss mate recipe and only audio...And philosophy... 😁😊

My deeperst salutations for the day to a golden heart...

Off topic is off topic.

You don’t get to cherry pick.

Ah, ca va mon ami!

Nope. You've got one hell of an imagination and an axe to grind, bro.

Just who accused you of that? It wasn't me.

Cancel culture is the 21st centuries book burning. While users posting with hidden agendas are clear to see, they’re the ones posting behind assumed names attacking any post, topic, or comment making a subjective observation absent measurements. These people are also in the minority, as most audiophiles understand audio, and in particular audio performance, is ultimately a subjective phenomenon; a point I’ve proven with the numerous discussions I’ve started here, most of which suffered a 21st Century Book Burning when they disappear through no action of mine. So why am I not surprised to read, the same actors projecting their malfeasance, are also working to have comments and threads taken down that expose their hypocrisy and fallacies.

Yours in music,

Your post say the obvious and mask (voluntarily or not) the essential....

The obvious: any end result in audio come and is commanded by subjective perceptive experience yes for sure...

The essential:

Any process of education of our own taste and biases and experience is about the incremental CORRELATIVE process of subjective evaluation AND measures and objective eexperiments in engineering AND especially in acoustic sciences also...

as most audiophiles understand audio, and in particular audio performance, is ultimately a subjective phenomenon;

And comparing your threads question and formulated opinions which if they are contested could only be contested by witches hunters and cancel culture people is to be kind a completely exagerated opinion and to be less kind a twisted turn of the mind explanable only by your hidden motives... I dont know which one explain your post...

Cancel culture is the 21st centuries book burning.

😁😊

Are you able to post an argument with me?

It seems you are not....

You are pathetical....

it is ME who post these old images in my virtuel page to begin with ....

What do you think you could accomplish in appealing to the stupidity of people judging others on "appearence" ?

Awwww Teddy … Bless

 

And how does the current situation of a commentator’s system correlate to their knowledge or experience of High Fidelity electronics and equipment … Only a tediously shallow individual would attempt to draw such a conclusion … Oh I see  

@nonoise right after my post requesting a desist, you post

then you post

I've had posts reinstated by contacting the mods to have them take a good look at the posts and how they fit it with the context of the thread and not differ with others.  Lately, I've given up on it due to the effort it takes and I don't want to have the mods spend all their time on something so small a matter, so sometimes I post what I did, above.

I took that as referring to the previous post - me the offender. If it wasn’t and I got my knickers in a knot I sincerely apologise.

@pesky_wabbit , You're correct in assuming it wasn't about your post. It was directed at whoever censored my posts which were basically, me defending myself from some false accusations. Sorry if I came across as too defensive as well. It's hard to read intent and context in a forum such as this.

All the best,

When we discuss we always end to understand one another and if not we must try...

My best to all...

@mahgister watch out I, think Ted might be trying to clone some of your devices - he appears to be obsessed with them

Creativity is free and the "hideous" or non esthetical appearance of my homemade devices is an hard proof that their basic cost is peanuts...Not a proof that they did not work...

He think that using my virtual page against me discredit me and go on posting my adress which i created in the first place ... 😁😊

Anyway my actual laboratory room with more than one hundred tubes and 50 bottles and cables all over the place is a "mad scientist cavern" way sillier than in these old images in my virtual page, my children laugh without end seeing my room but they are very pleased by the S.Q. though...Guess why? 😉

It will be comical one time for him to act like that but he repeat it instead of answering arguments...

Now it is pathetical because he is supposed to be a serious sellers...

Perhaps he feel my low cost devices a menace?

I dont think so though...

I think that thinking with sound arguments is not his forte...
