Craig, I don't have time (!) to go through and mark your answers.   But as a user, and for the time being as a contributor sometimes good and admittedly sometimes bad, I think you, Craig Anderton, sometimes overstep the boundaries of appropriateness.  It doesn't mean I hate you, just that I would err, personally, a bit more on the side of less intervention.

I agree with Craig and John entirely... and I personally feel that many antagonistic/whining posters/ops are very lazy, rarely if ever change their titles, even after I and others urge them to, thereby continuing to misrepresent the actual situation or confusing a casual view as to what the actual situation is. Many of the pages of back and forth clearly illustrate what jerks you are. 
 
While this forum is among the best I frequent, some of you egotistical idiots just spew garbage and it gets disgusting. You disrespect the considerable amount of time Craig, John and others put in to carefully reflect on and respond to your queries or comments.  
 
I could go on but you're not worth my time... you are rude.  
 

I am the O.P.........jeez guys it was a simple issue solved (many many posts ago), and the other "political points" (which in my view are WAY o.t. and not initiated by Craig or Scook) have been well and truly answered. So leave off hey!
 
Craig or Scook, I have no problems whatsoever if you lock this thread, a shame but it seems it will be the only way to put a stop to the continuing argy bargy about unrelated issues.

Well William, let’s look why at “intervention” occurred. You steered the thread in an entirely different direction with:
 

williamcopperI agree about putting "SOLVED!" on a post ... it's deceptive.

 
 
Except that in itself was deceptive, because you weren't agreeing with anyone. You were the first person to claim that this particular manner of adding value to threads is “deceptive.” Joden made it clear he didn’t have a problem with it, and he was the OP.
 

williamcopperI see many many posts that someone seems to have doctored to make the product seem better than the people who post about it think.

   
 
Between the context and your claims of “deceptiveness,” I'm confident the definition you chose for “doctor” (verb used with object) was not “to restore to original or working condition; repair; mend” but “to tamper with; falsify.” So you have flat out claimed that either I, or someone else, tampers with and falsifies posts.
 
That is a serious accusation. Making false, defamatory claims about someone in written or printed form is libel, and you have given no evidence your claims aren't false.
 
Libel is something you can’t dismiss by saying “Oh, I don’t have the time to find one of the many many examples to which I alluded.”
 
However, I do agree with that last statement in the sense that if it’s indeed true there aren’t any, it would take an infinite amount of time to find one, and I don't think you have an infinite number of hours at your disposal.
 

williamcopper And, hosts, marking ANYTHING at all on a post that is not your own, is overstepping a boundary, again in my lonely opinion.

 
Duly noted, but I don’t think any hosts are inclined to stop a practice where the vast majority of the users a) appreciate its raison d’etre; b) appreciate that someone does it when they forget; and c) find it helpful in terms of solving problems and searching on issues.
 

williamcopperBut as a user, and for the time being as a contributor sometimes good and admittedly sometimes bad, I think you, Craig Anderton, sometimes overstep the boundaries of appropriateness.  It doesn't mean I hate you, just that I would err, personally, a bit more on the side of less intervention.

 
Intervene:

1. to come between disputing people, groups, etc.; intercede; mediate.

That’s what I do. You made serious, and at least potentially libelous, accusations about deception and falsifying that were broad enough to include hosts in general. You also claimed to agree with a sentiment that no one else expressed in this thread. 
 
I don’t hate you either, and amongst your plethora of posts, some have indeed uncovered issues that need to be if not addressed, at least acknowledged so they can be addressed in the future. I also find some of the music you do interesting. However, when it comes to making statements I would prefer you err on the side of accuracy instead of drama. True statements don't require intervention. If you make a claim that (without a basis in fact) is clearly libelous, then not to expect a follow-up disputing that and asking for proof is naive at best.
 
Dennis is right, any political issues have been addressed in mind-numbing detail, so there's nothing more I can say about this subject except that threads where a problem has been solved will continue to be marked "solved," if not by the user, then by hosts if all reasonable efforts have been made to verify that the problem has been solved (starting with the OP saying it has indeed been solved). And, I will be happy to re-visit the claim of hosts tampering with and falsifying posts if you can provide tangible evidence of same, because if a host is doing this, it needs to be made clear this is not acceptable. But t is also not acceptable to claim they do if in fact they don't, hence my intervention.

Ok, thanks for the detailed response.   Again, I'd say putting "solved" on this one post was not a good thing, thinking of other users, but you have argued your side, and I don't pretend to be an authority on how forums can be run; my perceptions can be wrong.   As to "many, many", yes, I still say there have been many posts re-labeled, moved, and re-directed.   Look at my own history for a plethora.

ANY plug-in on ANY track or bus which uses a look ahead buffer must affect the whole project. It has to work this way or the tracks would not be in sync. The only time this is not the case is when the track with the plug-in is archived or the effects bin containing the plug-in is disabled. Disabling the plug-in alone is not enough.

That caused a light bulb moment.
(Blew off the rest of the thread after seeing the few above where this landed).

Adding solved to the title is not editing the post. Moving a thread is a hosts job when it is posted in the wrong forum. That is not editing it either. Re-directing is what is left in the forum to alert members that a thread has been move and where to find it. Objecting to that seems very odd. Also an Email is sent to the author that it has been moved. This is optional and I do it as a courtesy.
 
I have no problem with someone finding fault when there is fault to be found. What I do have a problem with is asserting that a fault has been done when that is not the case.  
 
We do not edit other peoples posts. I can't say this any clearer. Even now after a long and tiresome thread making this point clear you still cling to your assertion.
