immtbiker Posted December 29, 2008 Report 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.
Voltron Posted December 29, 2008 Report 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.

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.

GPH Posted January 2, 2009 Report 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.
grawk Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 I'm here because it's easier to make connections here.
Dreadhead Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 I'm here because it's easier to make connections here. Same here and because the discourse is usually on a higher and at the same time lower level.
JBLoudG20 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Same here and because the discourse is usually on a higher and at the same time lower level. I have do do in my pants.
Voltron Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 I have do do in my pants. But you've got some intelligent points to make on audio and music at the same time! Yay Head-Case!
Dreadhead Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 I have do do in my pants. oops you crapped your pants...
guzziguy Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Isnt the moderating over at HF one of the biggest reasons people are here? Kinda like ASR. 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 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.
pabbi1 Posted January 2, 2009 Report 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.
Sherwood Posted January 2, 2009 Report 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.

postjack Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 I don't think it's the moderation so much as the quality of user generated content.
Sherwood Posted January 2, 2009 Report 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.
Knuckledragger Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Let's see here... 4+ years on head-fi: 175 posts Just over a year on head-case: damn near 2000 posts. Clearly, I'm here to drive down the SNR.
Hopstretch Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Prefer deliberate douchebaggery to unconscious douchebaggery.
Dusty Chalk Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 I'm here because it's easier to make love connections here.ORLY?
grawk Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 oh come on sweetie, you don't have to hide anymore
Dusty Chalk Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Dude, I told you -- it's over. It's been over for months. Jeez, they get me drunk once, and they think we're in a "relationship".
postjack Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 wait, I'm here for the love connections as well.
