That’s the thing - forum members can flag a post, and if enough people do that then the post contents will be subdued without any mod intervention. (Unless I am mistaken - mods please correct me if I’m wrong)

Strange mods living in forums distributing flags in no basis for a system of speech!

Some one gets it trollface.gif
Just out of interest, what was that specific?
Without knowing what was said, the power of consumer, is the option to not buy/boycott a company.
My personal experience with this forum were pretty good. Elektron did communicate the issue with the DT and the ongoing updates. Of course they need new products too, otherwise they wouldn’t have money to pay the programmer of the updates for products that already was sold.
When complexity increases, possibilities for bugs and defects increases exponentially.

the way this board self moderates is a brilliant thing, three users flag a post and it gets hidden. the majority of the post i have seen modded get this treatment so its quite clear that the community has an issue with something. the other for of moderation i’ve seen used is when sections of threads get cut due to the issues of name calling, insulting, etc. sometimes when this happens there is a bit of collateral damage.
but this mean that the board functions on a “lowest common denominator” type atmosphere. even though some of you have thick skin, open minds etc that is not shared by all. its important to keep that in mind.
i flag stuff all the time. there’s nothing more annoying that opening the board and thinking some meaningful discussion has been going on only to see its just a bunch of nonsense name calling. sorry, not sorry in that regard.

Plz censur my cake
It can be. But only as long as you have the right opinion. That’s the point here.
The thing I like most about Elektronauts is that it isn’t like Gearslutz. Some of you sound like you’re so upset that this place isn’t like Gearslutz.
If you haven’t heard of Gearslutz, go there, and make it your home. You’ll love being able to complain incessantly about new gear to your heart’s content without the “intrusive” hand of decency keeping you in check.

I do not always agree with moderation and locking threads - it can feel a bit “big brother” sometimes However I also realise that the mods do all this work for free, they are only human, and sometimes they correctly or incorrectly shut a thread down before it gets out of hand.
Also, I have no interest in reading ad hominem attacks, bickering or any of that BS, so moderation is needed to clear all that crap up.
Hats off to the mods, 95% of the time they get it about right I think, and that is pretty darn good!
Criticism of Elektron is not really censored as far as I can see, none of my posts of this nature have been removed and I see plenty of Elektron criticism from other users too.

well i don’t take this whole forum serious. that’s why I am saying it’s lame.
It was just absurd how you were trying to act all victimized by my comment about this thread being an Elektronauts troll-magnet featuring all of Elektronauts all-star trolls, and flagging it to be hidden when I directed it towards nobody specifically. That’s all.
I flagged it too, it was quite unnecessary. The pic and your comment.
