Quarantine/Vetting by Admin prior to allowing "Company Is Dead" Threads to go live

I am recommending that Admin / Audiogon Officials  ---  VET any thread that deals with the demise / closing of a business or change of a business, prior to allowing it to go live.

There have been three recent instances, and many more over time, where a member "jumps the gun" and posts information pertaining to a going concern that isn't true nor accurate of what has transpired.

I also suggest: 1) to lock these threads down immediately; 2) to allow members to report via an additional special circumstance "reason" button, until Audiogon driven independent verification can be made.

Can Audiogon Admin offer solutions and guidance regarding these types of posts?  Thank you.

Thanks for reminding me of your thread. It also serves as an example.

Thread: "Is Meridian dead as a product company?"

--- So I just went and looked, and it seems that they stopped developing products about 5 years ago. --

Since you looked, I also just went and looked.. .one example for verification, a simple few clicks on the web:

"Meridian Audio proved why they are the outstanding brand in high-resolution audio at this year’s CEDIA Expo in Denver, taking home the CEDIA Award for Best New Hardware in the Americas region, and also winning a CE Pro BEST Award for the new Meridian DSP640.2 In-Wall Loudspeaker.

The DSP640.2 In-Wall Loudspeaker saw off tough competition, rising above renowned industry brands Lutron, Samsung, and Sony, to win the Best New Hardware category in the Americas CEDIA Awards 2019. The CEDIA Awards recognise the very best in technical excellence and product innovation and the judges were especially impressed by the dynamic audio and unmatched levels of performance delivered by Meridian’s DSP640.2 speakers."


Yup, that CEDIA, the one right after RMAF 2019. 


Fluff, Fluff indeed.... Sounds, smells, drops feathers, quacks and duckwalks like a "dead as a product company" ....

Not about rules. About being factual and accurate and honest.
