A Suggestion Regarding Removal Of Posts


Three suggestions for providing greater transparency in why certain actions are taken. 

When a post is removed from a thread it now reads "Post Removed" followed by the date.  I suggest it should include who the poster was and the reason why the post was removed.

A thread could be terminated, but not removed.  The moderates should be able to stop any new posts from being added to a thread, but the thread should be available for viewing and archived.

Lastly, give the starter of a thread and only the starter the option of removing posts from that thread because they are "Off Topic".  The OP can help by stating right at the start what they consider "Off Topic".  The person who posted the "Off Topic" post can be given the option of staring a new thread.

Just a few thoughts with the intent of making Audiogon More Friendly Again!

My suggestion is that Christopher Walken moderate the forums and instead of the offending posts being removed they would remain with digital lines drawn through the words.

Chris would then attach a short video (to the post) with him explaining why the post wasn't up to snuff.

Being that he's an interesting guy - he might just go for it.

Of course - I'm open to other suggestions as well.

+100 for the Christopher Walken suggestion. I will donate to make that happen.

Recently a thread was deleted, because of which I don't recall the offending  member, but in which another popular member here contributed some lengthy well thoughtful and valueful (as usual) additions, with much time spent the doing. Some good posts are foresaken because of an ignoramus. Disclaimer: some of my friends are ignoramus' so this is not intended as any form of hate speech
