immtbiker Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Al, within 5 minutes of me posting about "alleged" criminal activity, Jude called me and told me that he was going to edit my post. I did not edit it. Maybe it was for the best. It is his show and he can do whatever he wants if it feels that it might stir up legal issues against Head-Fi. My post was from the heart and I didn't take legal ramifications into account (that and I was at an airport, living on 3 hours of sleep). I admit that was wrong. I just felt, that since we have some semblance of a friendship, that it would have been better suited to write Mike and I a PM, rather than post it publicly in an open forum. If you had PM'd me about you feeling uncomfortable about my post, I would have gladly edited it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I was pretty sure that you had said something criminal in that post that got my blood up at the time. And just so you know I wasn't making any accusation or whatever about the editing, I was just pretty sure it had been there. Mike and you have both dinged me for not handling that by PM and I wish I had. As I told him at the time, if there is a next time I will try that route first.

As I told him at the time, if there is a next time I will try that route first. This is one of the things that makes me prefer HC to HF. Modding and being called out is very public and transparent. There is very little going on behind the scenes. It's OK to call people out (when they should be called out) as long as it's done in a relatively civil manner. Al did that in the HC thread. Nobody has to feel that a friend has betrayed them because that rarely happens. Of course, people that can't take being called out don't last long here. That's because eventually everybody posts something stupid and get's called on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPH Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Isnt the moderating over at HF one of the biggest reasons people are here? Kinda like ASR. I don't know for the others, but personally I think the moderators do their job pretty well on Head-fi. They've done some errors in the past, but you can't expect perfection on a forum with 50000+ members. What I don't like on H-F is shill members, members posting impressions of things they haven't heard and members posting technical information when they obviously don't understand what they're saying.

I don't think so, but I wouldn't generalize about it. It's not a big reason I'm here. As others have pointed out, the moderation is pretty good there. The biggest problems with it that I see are mostly due to the large size of HF. The passive moderation is all that can be done, but it leads to problems. The fact that moderation is often opaque is a problem I'd like to see go away, but it probably never will. I'm here because I like the feeling of community and the much higher S/N.

Sherwood Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Only time I've ever been moderated on HF was when I posted a link over to here. That warranted a personal letter from Jude, and he was none too pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabbi1 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I did the same in a thread on Balanced v unbalanced, referencing Dreadhead's work. It illicited two notes from Jude. Not at all unreasonable, but, someday, won't The Wall come down? Not that I really care - just another site to link to, especially when the relevant info already exists. I just hate dual threading, with all the different fucking rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Well, HC has no such draconian restriction, which unfortunately just serves to make it more beneficial to post the good stuff on HF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postjack Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I don't think it's the moderation so much as the quality of user generated content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I don't think it's the moderation so much as the quality of user generated content. Even more, the SNR of user-generated content. There's plenty of good stuff, but the junk outweighs it heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
