@carlsbad Agree. A thread I started in "music" asking for suggestions of examples of songs which celebrate women’s rights was taken down. Apparently, the mention of women's rights triggers some as "too political." (Ironically, any number of posts wondering why there aren’t more women audiophiles are still up.) |

koestner, I thought that was the thread that you were referring to. I think that it was a bit played out in some ways. There was the back and forth with some saying they would never buy counterfeit and myself and others with a different view. Finally, a few days ago I made a comment that I found the comments of the members who opposed the Chinese cables amusing, and a day later my post was removed, and the day after that the thread was taken down. You’re correct, there really was some interesting information shared about Chinese cables that aren’t counterfeit, so it’s too bad in that way, but we can always start another thread about Chinese cables in general. Hilde45 makes a good point too. |
I find the process of out-right deleting threads to be disrespectful to forum users. People invest time, often significant, into responding to threads. When a thread is summarily deleted, that time is essentially stolen from them. I don't consider that a customer friendly process. I can certainly see closing threads for further comments when they get too far off track or deleting offensive posts, but deleting a whole thread punishes the users. I would also suggest much clearer rules / guidelines on acceptable topics. People are more accepting of rules, even if they don't agree with them if they are clear, and consistent. |

My post asked for songs celebrating women’s rights on the very day many of my friends and family were feeling quite distressed about the decision. That was my intent -- to get the names of some songs. I can imagine people asking for songs about patriotism on the fourth of July or songs that celebrate Jesus on Christmas day, too. But I got the message loud and clear. It was too political to ask for songs celebrating women's rights...because women’s rights is something that’s too political. |
It is distressing when audio related threads get deleted, but then its generally because they morph into political fighting and personal insults. Mention anything about Chinese equipment, inevitably will go down this path. Too bad some good information lost in the whole thing, could be some have intention to insert the political to get thread erased. |
Yeah, we seem to now fully embrace the idea that individuals are not responsible for their own actions. |
@nonoise , still wondering if Colin would appreciate where Lotus is going of late, but would have liked the Elise I'd hope. 🤞 Now, a small 'lectric Lotus.....would and could fit the phrase.... ;) I kinda take getting 'tagged' by the overlords as a sign that Someone is paying attention, even if it's getting kicked in your keys...*L* |
@hilde45 I misunderstood your post. Please accept my apologies. |
Nonoise, a shirt seen decades ago was one that cut to it: Faster Faster When I hear the howl of a superbike on one of the nearby roads. I can appreciate the rush involved but know that one randumb factor can flip the equation in under a heartbeat.... And there's... Life Begins @ 100 Ends there as well, potentially.... I've been told of incidents that ended well, and others not so much. At least I've heard of no deaths from audio being played too fast.... |
