ABF Nanny State?

edited January 2024 in Other

With the recent spate of thread closures has the Audiobus Forum become a Nanny State where mods that hide in the shadows and provide no explanations ‘protect’ the community from any topics with negativity regarding developers or apps? Has it gone too far, are you happy being manipulated or should we be treated like adults and discussions left to flourish?

  • I haven’t noticed…. Must not be happening on the two categories I go to (Gen app discussion and Creations) 🧐

  • It's a privately owned forum for discussion and threads which don't follow the rules get locked. I fully expect this thread to be locked immediately. Questioning the moderators isn't good form.

  • I applaud your dedication to the bit...creating a whole new username for a forum post.

  • Good tactics. Protect your real user name from getting banned. I'm impressed. 👍🏼

    Threads tend to get closed when they're going nowhere other than defending into circular bickering and personal attacks. So what?

    "Recent spate?" = two threads, both on the same subject.

    Yep, we're on a rapid descent into a police state.

  • This forum is an incredible resource and extremely generous because this shit costs money

    And amazingly it never needed moderation for many years. That there are people willing to offer their time to moderate it is another example of generosity.

    Probably wouldn’t be needed if there wasn’t people that take the effort to create a new account just to belittle those efforts.

    If you’re not part of the solution, then maybe you’re the problem

    January 11 was the last thread closure, and that one had clearly violated the forum guidelines.
    January 5 one thread closed that had descended into nothing but personal bickering.
    One thread closed in all of December.
    Out of more than 300 threads, 5 closed over two months.

    Hardly an epidemic.

  • Has it gone too far, are you happy being manipulated or should we be treated like adults and discussions left to flourish?

    Nah, the Forum is great.

    Threads only get closed when they don't follow the simple guidelines.

    There are a million and one other places on the net to talk about politics and other controversial stuff.

    Thanks to the Mods for keeping things on track.

    It’s like your neighborhood bar. Annoy enough patrons and management will take an action to preserve a good vibe.

    If one insists on insulting people after a few hints. The conversation might get closed.

  • Well said.

  • Creating a sock puppet account to complain about shadowy mods seems at odds with wanting to be treated like an adult or wanting a grown-up conversation.

    Want a serious discussion? Start a serious discussion with your normal handle….and part of seriousness is considering in a non-dismissive way points of view different from your own.

  • My personal opinion - i don’t consider the moderation here to be strict. It’s been laid out in clear terms whats allowed and people do get abusive sometimes, and that may get moderated. And i agree with that happening.
    I’m not aware/haven't noticed any moderation occurring, but I have seen plenty of conversations spiralling downhill. Occasionally I join in when people are moaning about their freedoms being infringed, whilst they are blissfully happy to ignore any consequences of their behaviour.

    It’s not a nanny state… we have all freely chosen to associate here, accepting the conditions/rules.

    I certainly read plenty of (often fair, often unfair 🤣) negative comments about apps, synth manufacturers etc.

    Setting up a new username for such a post? Maybe take a step back, chillax and have a think.
    Fake identities are in troll territory.

  • Today in Lolwut.

    😂 Thanks, I needed that. 😂

  • These Russian psyops have gone too far I tell ya! Too far!!! Now they’re on niche hobby forums trying to use apps to turn us against each other 😱😱😱

    This sounds like movie preview speak. in deep narrator voice “imagine a world where moderators…hide in the shadows” cut to the lead actor screaming “ARE YOU HAPPY BEING MANIPULATED?!”

    Cut to black….

    “Starring Steven Segal…NannyState. This summer.”

  • Someone please start an epic soundtrack production thread for that movie!
    I would participate I think, though I'm not sure I could do it justice.

    We need a thread where everyone takes turns writing a line to the movie and then we make a soundtrack for it. In theaters this summer. Brought to you buy ABF. Based on a short novella by NannyState.

    I don't think we could pull it off. We're all too infected with "toxic blind positivity".

    That’d make a good title too lol

  • Be as negative as you want, just don’t personally attack other forum members while you’re doing it.

  • If you can afford a Nanny, it’s an excellent investment to manage childish tantrums professionally. @Michael has enabled others like @thesoundtestroom to manage enfocement of the rules that appear on every home page at the top.

    Looks like toxic blind negativity is the only way to make such a soundtrack.

  • Gotta say the irony of making a sock account to complain about the forum being a “nanny state” and then not being able to muster up the gall to reply properly is palpable for sure lol

    On a toxically positive note, this thread has been and is still hilarious.

    If I were a mod, I don't think I could resist shutting this thread down just for the sheer irony of doing so. 😂
