I don’t know about you, but I don’t want an admin that I don’t even know deciding what posts I should see and which ones I shouldn’t. This is a very slippery slope. Who is to say that the admin is even qualified to validate or refute the statements. We should not replace one’s responsibility to think for yourself and validate information before accepting it as fact with an information clearing house of dubious quality (no offense to the admins, but I suspect you are busy enough without being required to chase down rumors).
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.
