It appears that you’re right. I added my two cents about the Tekton thread yesterday, and the entire thread disappeared by the end of the day. The admins here probably don’t pull every negative thread, only when a particular product attracts an avalanche of well-deserved criticism. The thread you mentioned probably fit that description.
Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?
I have mostly been taking part of this forum occasionally, and from a distance if you will. I have to admit I don't really know the kind of things that can go on, disputes or disagreements that can occur. I have occasionally done searches in this forum using the search function to only come upon a thread that has been removed, oddly enough.
I have seen some discussions, and taken part in some others that become somewhat of a debate on certain brands, and they have become critical in some instances. Usually fans of the brand in question rush to the defence, and from what I've seen, a healthy discourse occurs, with back and forth and occasional posts removed. I'm thinking of smaller internet direct manufacturers such as your Emotivas, Schiit Audio, Ascend Acoustics and the like.
What I'm wondering is, have such companies had negative discussions stopped or removed? Has anyone been part of similar discussions in which moderators suddenly step in and either lock or completely remove a discussion?

tonykay I added my two cents about the Tekton thread yesterday, and the entire thread disappeared by the end of the day. The admins here probably don’t pull every negative thread, only when a particular product attracts an avalanche of well-deserved criticism.A moderator posted in that thread yesterday that it was deleted by the OP, not the moderators. Whether the criticism of Tekton was well-deserved or not is a matter of some debate, hence the activity in that thread. gdnrbob My impression is that the mods remove threads when they become hostile or no longer remain on topic. Often times, they give a warning before deleting the discussionThat's what I've observed here. |
