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?

Gentlemen and Ladies,
It is this kind of banter that gets threads deleted.
I know some posters can post something that gets your kickers in a twist, but, think before you post. Most times, just using a logical retort can put them in their place.
We are all better than this...

I think guys showing up on the scene casting absurd doubt on legitimate complaints and issues is nothing more than bullying. I think that jazz should be dealt with harshly.
It's not at all clear that the claim raised in that thread was legitimate. Within the group's rules, everyone is free to post here, even if you think they "should be dealt with harshly."

What's clear is that complaints of really bad customer non service by Tekton have been an oft repeated refrain in this forum.  Too many for it to be a non issue.

The OP in that thread was not ranting and raving about his experience, he actually seemed pretty level headed for someone who'd given $12000 of his hard earned cash and then seem nothing for five months.  At the very least, taking the customer's money before you even start building the speakers, that's a poor business practice.

It's funny how no matter how outrageous Tekton treats some customers, fanboys will claim it's no big deal.  And then the Tekton owner shows up to try to change the narrative(I wouldn't be surprised if he asked the customer to have the thread closed and promised the speakers would be ready in "7 to 10 days").  He should try changing his record instead, one customer at a time.
