Why would a moderator remove a cable review?


I put together what I thought was thorough review of the newest Cerious Technologies line of cables and it was just removed by a moderator for:

“Content may be removed for one or more of these reasons:

  • It looked like spam
  • It was abusive towards another member
  • It depicts explicit and/or violent content
  • It contains profanity

Please make sure your submissions comply with our guidelines”
 

I don’t see where I violated any of the stated policy.

Did you post anything bad about Miss Jenkins?

That'l do it everytime.

I’ve had this happen as well. I find it is more likely if the review feels overly promotional, driving the post to sound like advertising. 

I did email Tammy but I think the thread came down when the price list went up. I’m not sure why they had to delete the entire thread. I did repost over on “What’s Best” forum.

BTW, I think your review was very well written and I hope Tammy can reinstate it.

just making sure nobody is confused here about what audiogon is

it is a for-profit site... and the discussion forum exists to support the main site, which makes money when items are advertised, bought and sold and so on

as users of the discussion forum, we have privileges to post and participate purely at the pleasure of the site owner and their admins, which they manage according to their best interests (which may or may not coincide with that of any user) ... they owe us nothing as users, we have zero entitlements
