Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?


I have mostly been taking part of this forum occasionally, and from a distance if you will.  I have to admit I don't really know the kind of things that can go on, disputes or disagreements that can occur.  I have occasionally done searches in this forum using the search function to only come upon a thread that has been removed, oddly enough.

I have seen some discussions, and taken part in some others that become somewhat of a debate on certain brands, and they have become critical in some instances.  Usually fans of the brand in question rush to the defence, and from what I've seen, a healthy discourse occurs, with back and forth and occasional posts removed.  I'm thinking of smaller internet direct manufacturers such as your Emotivas, Schiit Audio, Ascend Acoustics and the like.

What I'm wondering is, have such companies had negative discussions stopped or removed?  Has anyone been part of similar discussions in which moderators suddenly step in and either lock or completely remove a discussion?

You mean specifically the Tekton thread about their inadequate customer service. I’ve read several threads that were much, much more vitriolic than anything posted there that remain to this day. I speculate it was showing the company in a very bad light and the owner asked to have it removed. Again, just speculation. If someone who knows why for a fact would chime in.....
@gregb63- No, thank YOU sir! Curious as to why you didn’t answer a single question I asked you to clarify your position on things. But, I must say, your responses do not disappoint. You are an interesting and amusing fellow! I’m a bit confused about your last post. Why do you feel we are ’talking crap’ and our comments are worthless? That unsubstantiated accusations are flying? What makes your comments more legitimate than the others? I sincerely would like to know. It casts you in a poor light when you hurl insults and accusations at others without backing up your statements. Please clarify the thinking behind your posts. Allow me to thank you again for the irony of your delightfully contradictory posts....
@gregb63- If you are seeking employment, perhaps you could work in Tekton's Customer Relations Department. You seem a perfect fit for the company!
@gregb63- Your responses are a prime example of why posts and threads get deleted. You call people ’idiots’ and ’liars’, and how they ’sicken’ you simply because they’ve had a different experience than you when dealing with Tekton. We get it. You adore Tekton and anyone who thinks and says differently can’t possibly be telling the truth. How interesting and amusing. How did you reach this conclusion? Do you really believe this is a coordinated conspiracy among certain forum members who are secretly reps for other speaker companies to damage the reputation of your precious Tekton? That your belief is more plausible than they are simply folks who have had negative experiences when dealing with Tekton’s less than stellar reputation for customer service? Again, how interesting and amusing. You must be a blast to have a live conversation with....Oh! Almost forgot. You’ve dealt with Tekton on a ’few’ occasions and know 100% that they don’t ignore customers? Please explain how you can possibly know that. I can’t wait for your intelligent, eloquent response....Darnit! Forgot this one...You state that how do we not know that the ’customer’ isn’t making up the entire episode of his negative experience with the company simply to make it look bad, and it is all a ’a load of BS’. You then proceed to say he should just call the company to work it out. Well, which one is it??! Is he lying or does he have a legitimate problem?? You seem a bit confused by the whole thing.
@dwmaggie- Welcome! You'll actually find a lot of useful information on these threads, plus the added bonus of people like gregb63 and their invaluable input....
Hi cleeds. I pm’d the op a while back to see how it worked out. Tekton finally decided to work on his speakers and was sending him progress reports and pictures. So it appears to me that without him starting that thread, he most likely would still be waiting. I guess he was happy that progress was finally being made and ended the thread. Still don't understand why Eric posted the op was not being truthful without a single word to back it up. All the guy did was claim he paid for speakers months ago and had yet to receive them. Sounds mighty truthful to me...
About a week ago I pm'd the OP of the taken down thread to see if he received his speakers and if he was enjoying them. Haven't heard boo back. I guess his thread had served its purpose and he is no longer interested in commenting....
Uber, if you refer to it any more, it will disappear. Pretty much like mine did....
