Btw, I mod & I tweak ... within my limits of ability. It’s my god given right ....
You can do that, for now....but this anti-science behavior will not be tolerated for long :)
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
I think we can all agree that threads about tweaks like fuses, stones, mats, power conditioners etc. stir up all kinds of controversy, conflict and ill will.
Short of banning discussion of these controversial topics, is there another solution to this problem?
I got this idea from teo_audio’s comments about a solution implemented at Canuck audio on another thread:
“Canuck audio tames it by having a cable and tweak area for threads. Where any counter to the idea that such things are functional (in attempt or in analysis), is not tolerated.
Meaning.. threads where people discuss tweaks, or mods or cables and so on, if a naysayer posts there, and interrupts the discussion, in any way, they get their posts deleted. And...if the given naysayer can’t hold their tongue, after said deletion-ish warnings..... they will, rapidly, via any repeats in behavior, find themselves banned from the forum. They have to grow up, or get lost.”
You may not like parts of his description, but I think the idea has real merit.
I propose a new “safe haven” sub-forum, with some special rules, for the discussion of tweaks. These rules would ONLY apply to this specific sub-forum, the current rules would continue as they are in all other areas.
The special rules would be along these lines:
Posts that categorically deny the possibility of tweaks having any effect or value are not allowed.
Posts proclaiming tweaks to be “scams” “cons” etc. are not allowed.
Posts that directly state, or imply, that another poster is lying, are not allowed.
Posts that make absolute negative statements like “Science proves it can’t work.” are not allowed.
Posts demanding measurements, controlled listening tests etc. are not allowed.
Posts that express skepticism (without making absolute negative statements), ask tough questions, or request more information are welcome.
Of course, some who hold the above opinions may object, but they would still be able to express those opinions in all other parts of the forum, just like they always have.
What do you think?

I have a solution....... People on this site should fill in a questionare. 1) Do cables change sound? 2) Do power cables matter? 3) DACs sound different? 4) Do you trust your ears over what you think is scientifically impossible?
If you say no to any of these questions, your replies are automatically invisible to the people who answer yes. we never talk to each other again.... Live happily ever after. | ||||||||
@mahgister I don't get why you would constantly keep wanting to get interrupted by rude, disrespectful, belittling, sarcastic, caustic, know it all blowhards. If you are addicted to debating people that couldn't care less about what you have to say, I can somewhat understand that, but even then...all the energy wasted on people that don't really have anything important to the conversation seems like a tremendous waste of time. I would happily reorganize this forum and society as a whole into groups of people that segregate themselves and live peacefully, independently, and away from each other. | ||||||||
@dabel no, it’s Live and Let Live. My beliefs don’t require other people to believe what I believe in.. But as you are seeing more and more in this modern crazy society, others do not feel the same way....They want you to comply at the point of a gun. This forum is a small microcosm of the same kind of mentality....People that have no first hand experience with modding, tweaks, etc etc go out of their way to insult people that have done all the hard work, and are genuinely willing and excited to share their experiences. At some point, these two diametrically opposed mindsets have to go their own separate ways.... Live and Let Live. | ||||||||
Deaf people pretending to love music is the funniest thing in this world to me :) Every song should have a video attached of a guy signaling in ASL, and also should have smilling picture on the cover of Lord Fauci....who by the way has new snake oil ready to go immediately after the Flu season ends, and the deaf will get in line for that one as well. Rinse Repeat. OOOOMMMMM....NEEEE....KRRRRRONNNNNN!! Good mantra to meditate with :)

Straight from a Google search. 🤣 OMI
Whats the meaning of as a cron? A command to an operating system or server for a job that is to be executed at a specified time. ’a cron job’ ’All we need to do is run the client script on the testing servers as a cron job.
That adds up to? Lmao You can’t even make this stuff up.
I’ll peace out before this thread gets deleted as well. | ||||||||
I agree 100%, science is never settled, it is always in flux, and the second you claim that you know it all, especially at the expense of observation, it is no longer science, it has become religion. The Cult of Science is the antithesis of the scientific mind, and it’s process. The irony is extremely thick. |
