Thanks to the Moderators


Many of us have had small issues with the moderators here at times, but I want to call them out in a positive way for monitoring new threads and closing ones that are meant to cause conflict and are not really related to audio.

Thanks!

I think the mods here do an excellent job. I’ve never had an issue with them. Most of those who complain about them aren't really here to talk about audio or music, but have another agenda.

I couldn't disagree more. I had a lot of issues with moderating, deleting my civilized comments and leaving disgusting, spiteful comments in the thread and quoting non-existing rules or rules that absolutely did not apply, ignoring my questions, deleting comments about moderating, etc. and I DO NOT have an agenda. You can't have your cake and it too. You either moderate in the most controversial manner and just call it what it is, or you moderate fairly and APPLY THE RULES you created.

On several occasion, they wrote me that my comments were off topic and hence they deleted it. 

Along with it they sent me the list of rules. None of which were relevant to being on or off topic.

I also found some of their answers smug. But that's subjective

 

@cleeds 

it would be if it was a posted rule AND my comments were actually off topic. Let alone if all off topic comments were treated equally.

In my case, it was a lame, made up rule. 

If there was such a rule, I would still be confused though because there are so many productive, long-running conversations here where a comment could be relevant, educational, helpful and still strictly speaking off topic for the OP.

Of course if someone was talking about hair loss treatment product or selling bitcoin, in thinly veiled ads, that would be annoying. But how many times are people talking about fast cars or memories from their youth with vintage gear when the topic has nothing to do with those.

But I can move on, there are way bigger problems to worry about...
