Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?

I have mostly been taking part of this forum occasionally, and from a distance if you will.  I have to admit I don't really know the kind of things that can go on, disputes or disagreements that can occur.  I have occasionally done searches in this forum using the search function to only come upon a thread that has been removed, oddly enough.

I have seen some discussions, and taken part in some others that become somewhat of a debate on certain brands, and they have become critical in some instances.  Usually fans of the brand in question rush to the defence, and from what I've seen, a healthy discourse occurs, with back and forth and occasional posts removed.  I'm thinking of smaller internet direct manufacturers such as your Emotivas, Schiit Audio, Ascend Acoustics and the like.

What I'm wondering is, have such companies had negative discussions stopped or removed?  Has anyone been part of similar discussions in which moderators suddenly step in and either lock or completely remove a discussion?

What about the more likely cause of deleting was bribery. The person was suckered into deleting it on the promise if he did, he would get his speakers. A just as likely scenario.
And we only have a second hand account that the speakers are in shipping soon to be shipped. I would guess the person who started the thread is afraid to say anything yet.. since 20 to 1 they do NOT yet actually have anything besides vaporware promises. Photos and promises mean nothing in this situation.

Hi cleeds. I pm’d the op a while back to see how it worked out. Tekton finally decided to work on his speakers and was sending him progress reports and pictures. So it appears to me that without him starting that thread, he most likely would still be waiting. I guess he was happy that progress was finally being made and ended the thread. Still don't understand why Eric posted the op was not being truthful without a single word to back it up. All the guy did was claim he paid for speakers months ago and had yet to receive them. Sounds mighty truthful to me...

It's surely good news if the OP is happy that progress is being made on his speakers. He deserves it.

you could see this coming with that thread. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."

I personally promise not to believe any positive report until the op of that thread reports he actually HAS THE SPEAKERS and all is well. Since it only appears the speakers are 'being worked on' with no delivery, being worked on means nothing. They could still be in 'being worked on' in 2023
