Moderation/Censorship Poll and surely more...

So far most picked up option C.

To me that doesn't mean that there are no moderation or any guidelines should be, but I'd probably leave 2 main ones: Empathy and Respect.

C of course.

I think the rules here are fine. As I've noted before, those that protest most loudly against moderation usually have the least to contribute.

Also, moderation ≠ censorship. They are two different things.

The one thing I do not like about the posting removals is that not the whole posting is bad. For example, there was a recent post re Vandersteen vs. Sonus Faber speakers. There was a chain of almost 180 responses! There was a lot of valuable info there. Yet, the whole chain was removed.

i think if there is a part of the chain that is inappropriate then that portion should be deleted if necessary.  Same with the OP, why should he be able to determine if the information in the post should be wiped away….that info could prove valuable to future searches.

thanks for reading this post…..before I delete it, in one, two

there was a very informative non controversial thread about a Supratek preamp that disappeared for no apparent reason. Makes one wonder if advertising competitors are able to get threads pulled..
