This one is pretty simple, whether photos violate Forum Rules and, if so, what to do about it.

wvu80 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It might help to remember this isn't a private chat room, it's a public ad-free internet meeting place sponsored 100% by the Klipsch corporation. Klipsch, Inc. spends a lot of money in advertising to present a public image which is designed to do one thing, sell speakers. Klipsch Inc is gracious enough to provide us a place to comment and give us wide berth on what is allowed. What they ask in return is that we follow common sense posting guidelines. The all-volunteer Moderators do a great job keeping us as a group within posting standards which ultimately keeps this Klipsch Forum viable. If Chad had the job of moderating every thread he wouldn't have time to do anything else and it would not surprise me if Klipsch, Inc shut it down to go to support more current social media like Facebook, like nearly every corporate entity does. I'm happy to have this Klipsch Forum, and I'm happy to be a member. Mods, thank you for doing your job which helps keep this place going. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 when i saw the CCC thread yesterday, i feared that something like this would eventually happen to Chuck’s thread. And i apologize to Chuck for not speaking up. Not that it would have done any good; but, I should have said something. But come on Moderators, please stop overreacting and deal with the individual(s) that are ruining threads. if you want to solve an issue, deal with those responsible instead of removing an entire thread. If you don’t, those that ruin threads will just move on and ruin another thread. Locking a thread, hiding a thread ... probably hasn’t ever solved a problem, as the same behavior just surfaces in a different thread. Deal with those violating the TOS. Or just shut down the entire forum because this is all getting to be a rather pathetic. Just read that the thread was unhidden with the photos removed. That was the right decision in my opinion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 IIRC, one of the photos removed was a Klipsch ad photo showing a young woman wearing a yellow Klipsch T-shirt, and nothing else, sitting on a white Heresy. If that is correct, why is something deemed appropriate for an advertisement to be viewed by anyone, deemed inappropriate for this forum? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The one positive from this is a refreshing diversion from the 21 pages of drivel on the departed BS thread. Similar to the news media being totally focused on 3 weeks of hurricane disasters. Anyone notice that the media has already moved on from the Houston tragedy, now Florida? I highly doubt Houston and the surrounding are back to life as usual? Even Trump has had a couple "quiet" weeks from the media. They are much like vultures flying to the next victim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofers and Tweeters Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Yes, the klipsch Heresy picture and a Pro speaker picture and an Altec ad. None were a full frontal nude and we're ads for Hifi. My apologies if those Hifi ads from the 70s are too much for 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 poor taste is entirely subjective, and I was poking at you - like I would have Carl, Jim, Brian, or any number of other members. I won't remove the image, so that context is maintained for others, but I do absolutely apologize for offending you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I have a great idea for a new section of the forum. It would be called "Safe Place" and one could access it anytime they feel offended by a scantily clad ad model or mean words from a fellow member. Yep I think in this day and age that would be very appropriate! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - if its good enough for a multitude of universities to inact it's good enough for this group of misfits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
