Thaddeus Smith Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Just part of the evolving internet guys. Company sponsored forums (as opposed to a forum created by an individual for XYZ topic) are now a marketing tool and as a result must be carefully moderated to protect the image and interests of the company. maybe some self-censorship, a slight pause before clicking "submit", and a bit of spreading out the snark and combative comments will help reduce the thread locks. Think of this place as a dinner party, where basic social constructs exist to ensure that everyone can have a pleasant evening. To that end, I'm a huge thread crapping offender and I'll work on less snark and useless comments whose sole purpose is to stir the pot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Amy Posted February 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 10, 2014 All the locking? I think I've only locked 2 threads lately. And they were both about the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on AudioKarma when one of the moderators decided to edit my posts without permission...because I wasn't "specific" enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Threads get locked when 1) lurkers who aren't invested in this place on any level send complaints to the moderator, 2) when people who are getting their asses kicked have run out of ammo -- and send "Dean is out of control again" emails to the moderator, and 3) the moderator hasn't had enough coffee. Unless there are personal attacks, I don't see why a thread should be locked. Man, I think we need a place where people can just say what they want without having to worry about being banned or censored.

oscarsear Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 And so the standard is what............. the forums are now a make nice, nice marketing adjunct with a somewhat narrow window of acceptable behavior?? Somehow I gotta believe that a certain Mr. Klipsch (founder of the feast) would consider such PC stuff to be not so cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 A warning post prior to locking, by a moderator would be nice. A closing statement on a locked thread from a moderator would be nice as well. At least then we'd know why the thread was locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That along with a footrub and a nice cup of hot tea would make it so much easier to accept. My bunions are killing me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
