Moderation on this site

One of my colleagues has just deleted the BS4 thread as this was becoming increasingly abusive . 

There was a comment that moderators are apparently not doing anything and don't care about this type of behaviour. This is not the case. Moderation on this site is usually done with a very light hand, though even this is sometimes greeted with horror when done. We do try to be open minded and allow people to develop ideas. 

However, in recent months, the site has become far more aggressive in form and we feel this is not suitable for a family site. I will therefore give warning that such behaviour will not be tolerated and for the next few weeks we will be coming down hard on such posts. Although it goes against my personal feelings, I will be suspending any offending member until they agree to moderate their behaviour. 

I hope this action will prove to be unnecessary and we can return to the polite behaviour seen in the past. In addition, Apple threads will be moved to the relevant area and derails of other threads will not be tolerated. I don't mind off topic posts but the constant return to Apple topics in every thread is making the site unreadable. Even on my Mac!

I have missed all of this having reduced my forum visits. However, I can see from the contributor records that there has been a BS 4 thread with a great number of contributions from one half of the electrifying duo who I suspect came perilously close to being banned on a previous occasion when a lot of us gave up on our visits due to just about every thread being hijacked for a personal duel. At that time the moderators mostly maintained too low a profile and left it to other individuals to remonstrate with the offenders.

Peter and the moderators have my full support because if the stupid and thoughtless contributions go unchecked then the forum will just degenerate and anyone who wants an intelligent response to anything will look outside Beoworld.

I'm no fan of moderation, but please do adopt a more interventionist approach! Hopefully the general direction of travel can then move back towards enthusiasts talking about B&O products that we own/desire/have experience of, rather than just musings and assertions that could be at home on any AV forum rather than one specifically dedicated to B&O.

My own view is that the mods could and should have done more a while back to address this, but I know they're damned if they do and damned if they don't. The drift of regular established members tells it's own story unfortunately.

Best of luck anyhow :)

Glad to read this. The moderators have my full support 🤒
