Audiogon's only responsibility should be to inform the manufacture/person/entity in question and give them an opportunity to respond directly to the thread. Heck, we have members who have relationships with manufactures and give them a heads-up when a thread about their product starts to go south!
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.
