About users with hidden agendas


If you know that a user is a dealer and they fail to disclose and attacks other users because they make a point against their interest, do you expose the user?

I know of a gentleman here that continuously posts and goes after people and does not disclose who he is. 

What are the ethics of this forum?

@ted_denney While users posting with hidden agendas are clear to see, they’re the ones posting behind assumed names attacking any post, topic, or comment making a subjective observation absent measurements.

As one who has respect for science and all manner of measurements, I am surprised and dismayed at this revelation.  To be objective means to me to be dispassionate about the preferences of others and to respect the right to speak freely.

Not having had the opportunity to have read anywhere all of the numerous deleted threads I query whether there was perhaps some other matter of substance which caught the attention of those wishing to burn the threads.

I am sad that Audiogon mods/admin chose to burn the threads rather than simply close the discussion because there were some really super and educational posts/tangents..  Now gone.  The lowest common denominator rules.

I never ask for any removing of any post...I hate censorhip with all my bone...

I removed ONLY some few of my posts because they offend someone...And i prefer to do so...

All audiogon would not be censored at all if i was the boss...I dont say that to critic the site moderator at all but to express my opinion...

No one is in others shoes...Save God...

And i am not sure that God is in our shoes either...I think so, but i will wait after my death to verify... Experimental theology... 😁😊

Ted wanted to cover his tracks, and as thread OP he got to decide if they were permanently deleted.

One thread I remember was really funny - he got on the bandwagon about simplifying systems, when the 4th poster remarked that it was all a bit much coming from somebody who owned a company that sold nothing but tweaks. Needless to say that was the last post - thread closed.

How do we take down a thread once it’s already started? Constant redirection and misinformation, that is the status quo for users with a (not so) hidden agenda.
