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.

I am unclear to me why you started this thread and others agree.  Within a couple of post the original OP's thread was proven to be incorrect, the system works.
If we block sour grapes what good is this place?

Just a place to fluff already fluffed brands?
PS - I have no sour grapes with Meridian. I was genuinely interested in picking up some gear, before I realized they haven't updated their HT product line in years.
