Generic Sonar Forum Question...

Earlier today I did something stupid while running a commercial broadcast session at the downtown facility.  I apparently hit the F12 key instead of the F10 key...which was what I was trying to strike.  In any case, that put a series of transient markers across a music bed that I'd just placed under a voiceover track for a 30 second political spot.  I had no clue as to what key I had pressed or how to "unpress/undo" it.  Luckily it didn't affect me going ahead and producing out the spot but when it happened I posted a message to the Sonar X1 forum hoping some kind soul would hip me to what I did and how to "undo" it.  A few minutes after I posted I realized that I was working with studio A's Sonar 8.5 and NOT the X1d I use in my music production room.  So I put a PS on my post saying sorry this is in 8.5.  A few minutes after that Seth (rightly) moved my post to the 8.5 forum and notified me with an email.  And a few HOURS later Bitflipper...gawd bless his little pea pickin heart...correctly guessed what I'd done...told me...and didn't make me feel like the dumbass I was for doing it.  Thanks Bit, ol pal.
 
Here are my take aways from that experience:  First,  I should not have posted in the X1 forum and Seth was right to "move" me.  Second, after moving I was very lucky to have Bit "pass by" and provide me with an answer to my dimbulbed question.  Third, and maybe most important, why didn't Seth just answer my question when he notified me of the move...or even before it...or even after it??  Surely he knew the answer.  Or maybe he didn't...I'm not casting aspersions here...but if he didn't he could've just as easily said "gee Dog, I don't know...hope someone gets an answer for you".  Or words to that effect.  Instead of simply "your thread has been moved".  This is honestly a curiosity to me.  I don't mind being moved.  I posted in the wrong forum.  Although I will say my post went from being viewed by about 30 folks to about 2.  Maybe Seth...like me...honestly didn't know the answer.  If that's the case I'm sure he's just as appreciative of Bit as I am.
 
Just food for thought.
 
Ingest or not:-)
 

Perhaps Seth only knows everything after he's read the answers here first.....

...I should not have posted in the X1 forum and Seth was right to "move" me.

Why did he pick on your post anyway?  There are plenty of other recent non-X1 posts in this forum that never got moved.

I'm not an X1 user myself, but I find that there are sufficient posts here that are of interest to me, and not directly related to X1, to make it worthwhile visiting this forum daily.  If the moderators were on the ball about subject matter, then I would not bother looking.

Really the only reason I mentioned Seth was because he's the one who sent me the email notification of being moved.  It could've been any of the mods I'd guess.  This has puzzled me before with other folks threads.  It seems like it would be just as easy to answer a quick question and be done with it than to move the thread where it might languish without an answer for quite some time... Bit's not always around ya know:-)

No biggie though.  Just a puzzlement.

Seth has answered several of my questions.. rather quickly I might add..

as cake's main public interface with users, i'd hope someone (intern if cash is tight?) is monitoring the forums daily... and i agree with seemingly random moving of threads, e.g., why hasn't the subwoofer thread been moved? i also think the "distinction" between x1 and pre-x1 in the forums is false and confusing considering how similar the products are... i feel like cake are pretending x1 is a different product...

That's a confirmation of what i thought first: Seth and Brandon are commercial guys, not technicians. As such, they can answer basic questions from newbie but might be scared answering a yorolpal question (after 7500+ posts he must have dig deeply in the software to find something he didn't know..). No, not scared, I mean, he simply doesn't know- I guess.

Don't let my post count fool ya. I'm still pretty much a dimbulb when it comes to features I seldom use:-)

Yup, I reckon the higher the post count, the dimbulber we get.

I had a similar experience on eBay's forum.  I posted about a seller who seemed to be misleading about the item he was selling.  Replies to my post confirmed that he was indeed breaching the rules and ought to be reported.  Then suddenly the thread got deleted and I was sent an email informing me that eBay does not allow posts about item listings or member violations.  It also said "To report suspected violations, please use our online forms".  So I reported it using the online form as advised.  Two days later I receive a message saying that action is being taken against the offending user and thanking me for reporting the violation.

My immediate thought was similar to Yorolpal's, i.e. why couldn't the moderator who deleted my thread have simply copied the text from the thread and forwarded it to the investigation team rather than leaving it to me to fill in a form?

Where will this fred be moved to and who will see it?

It will be quietly spirited away and never mentioned again.

As will yorolpal.

Never question the moderators actions. Not if you know what's good for you. I'm out of this thread. It's getting too dangerous to be associated with it. If anyone asks, I wasn't here.

So if you post a goodbye fred in the 8.5 forum is that the proverbial tree falling in the forest?

He's too sexy for his shirt, apparently.

Go ahead and try it, post some spam, or questions about Cubase,,, they will stay. There are a few body's laying around rotting and trolls. hmm.. is this thread about to fall to the basement?
