Moderation/Censorship Poll and surely more...


Hi. 

I'm here over 8 years and back then, I think the moderation guidelines were much lighter than today.  I think it's okay to have all foolish posts of ebm instead of removing part of them IMHO. 

Having that as a fact would you like to

A) Leave it same way?

B) Bring more rules?

C) Decrease rules?

It’s bad when an entire thread with over 12,000 views in a week gets removed because some of the posters set out to destroy it with never ending arguments like: Prove it to me, prove it to me. Nah, nah etc. Some of those very same posters are on this thread. What a bunch of ja’s that are now posting on audiogon.

It is difficult to post an opinion about a product you like and want to share it with others and not be called a shill.

I’ve started posting more to the "What’s Best" forum these days they seem to have less radicals there.

itsjust me,

Very good point. I get lots of messages from audiogon members and many times return messages are blocked.

I do think it is because audiogon does not want direct communication with members for fear it would hurt sales.

But their best approach would be to lower the advertising costs for individuals not raise them! It would increase sales! Afterall how much effort is it to post an ad? There are other sites that charge nothing for individuals to list an item. I’m not saying audiogon should not make a profit, but they really should make it easier for individuals to communicate. Perhaps charge more for commerce paid advertising.

It is until one of your threads gets removed because of posters just out to destroy open conversation with negative, rude comments.

thyname,

You are probably right. But I'm sorry that Audiogon is being taken over by a few troublemakers. All I want is to share info with other audio enthusiasts.

I don’t get it.

Why some will bother to continue to post if they hate the topic, or the forum or perhaps this hobby so much?

tsushima1,

Is it possible for you to stop posting for a while? Kiss your wife, pet your dog, enjoy life!
