The thread which I think provided the catalyst for this has now been locked

Ooh! I got an honorable mention in the scolding.

There is one forum I visit quite regularly and give pretty good advise (so I'm told) on using their amp sim and other products. I've been thanked personally by the mods for helping out and even suggested applying for a job once.

That said, I have also had several posts deleted and seen threads locked without warning for users going slightly against the grain. A user cannot say anything negative whatsoever on that forum.

Cakewalk is very lenient in comparison.

If they did....Bub would have to change his avatar!

I've always felt that that this forum is one of the best (along with EastWest's) in the way the moderators allow us the chance to act like adults.  That they are not drawn into discussions about how good (or bad) they are does not mean they're not around, they just see it as a waste of time... That we still see these over the top negative (and positive) posts shows me they are willing to let the community decide for themselves what is or isn't a waste of time.  The fact is, many of the negative rants lead to discussions that help the original ranter fix their issue, which is really what a forum should be about.

Best,

I have come up with some Duesy's over the years. :)

i think its actually one of the better features of the forum.freedom of speech.they gave this forum to us,to run ourselfs.
now if we cant do that...then im sure there will be changes.

im not sure i look forward to that change.thats why i havent reported anyone in over a year and a half.

i do wish though they would look into i IP addres of Conar + Godparticle.
its so obvious they are the same person. after thumbing through 50 0f his garbage hate posts the lingo he uses and even certain spelling are identical.

So that's old lady Duesy?
;)  and just when ya had one I liked.

The IP address of Godparticle? I would not be surprised if it was the same or similar to someone who works for the particular DAW he was promoting. Companies are going to all kinds of nefarious lengths to promote themselves online these days. In the field of business I'm in, almost all of my competitors are posting fake reviews of their companies online. They don't even try to hide it - multiple reviews posted on the same day, identical writing styles + telltale grammatical idiosyncrasies etc. 

sadly its badly moderated. Certainly the last few weeks has been awful. Discussion threads like these should be moved into another forum straight away for instance.

That's a picture of my Great, Great, Great, Great, Grandmother. She was a full blooded Iroquois Indian. Not sure which tribe, there were several in the Iroquois Nation. The first ancestor of mine here in the U.S. was a Preacher that came from England. He met her when he came here and they married, and that's where my family line started in the U.S.. It's a scan of a print one of my relatives had made from the original Tintype picture.

I wish it was old lady Duesy! I'd be rolling in cash right now. Maybe. Hehe :)
