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?

gregb63  You’re funny!

We certainly know where you stand! However, like the Tekton’s that lose their sweet-spot when a listener stands up… please remain seated while posting.


I too have noticed there have been other discussions removed.  I thought this forum was to discuss what is really happening out there.  People need to know both the positive and the negative.

For example, I have experienced problems with Paradigm.  I had a question about my Paradigm Prestige 85F's being designed as a 2 1/2 way vs a 3 way and they refused to get back to me.  When I called them, the customer service person was rude as well.  I would be curious if others have experienced the same.  I am sure this discussion will also be removed.  
@gregb63- If you are seeking employment, perhaps you could work in Tekton's Customer Relations Department. You seem a perfect fit for the company!
@thecarpathian,
That was really funny!!!

I remember a thread was inadvertently deleted by the op. He apologized and said it was in error.  But no recourse, the thread is gone.                                   
So the op of a thread, can, it seems, deep six the entire thread if they so choose.
