The internet is a completely different animal. Our company sign blew down during Dorian. Someone driving by may infer we are out of business, but hopefully the cars in the parking lot would dissuade them of such an assumption. A company's internet server goes down along with their phones....how does anyone know? It is not responsible to post "are they out of business?" More responsible to post "it appears XYZ is having technical issues..can someone pm me a cell number or dealer info regarding XYZ?"
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.
