I don’t want to drift too far off topic (I haven’t mentioned MQA once in my contribution to this thread!), but it’s always worth checking out people’s posting history in order to unpack their motivations and dispositions. 
I don’t know what I’m doing here either 
Roon works fine for me, I don’t need to argue about MQA or whatever ad infinitum, and I’m done giving free tech support. Mmm, it must be for the forum humor

Shttt, we can’t say that anymore 
@Neil_Russell Because it has been beaten to death here and especially on Computer Audiophile/Audiophile Style(the thread MQA is Vaporware) its a dead horse and who really cares?
Obviously many people care, or they wouldn’t be participating in the numbers they are.

Indeed - because people recognize their consumer rights are being threatened and want to express their concern. And that is the problem with things like limiting the amount of posts in any MQA topic. Given that I have only seen this on topics about MQA and not other controversial topics, the claim that the policy is to insure civility becomes somewhat tenuous. Throttle or better yet, close and do not allow any and every controversial topic.
Otherwise, it could be interpreted as breaking the momentum of the MQA criticism
trend - well, at least in this forum.
Of course, again, it is the admins/moderators right to have whatever kind of forum they want to have. If they want the advocacy and support only forum I mentioned above, sure, go ahead. But make it clear in the policies. If you give the illusion of freedom, people will assume they have it. Hence all this problems.

Well said. It’s truly baffling that, given the myriad challenges facing the world right now there are people who will literally go to the wall day in day out for a fr**ken music file format. Wake up people.

Well, on the one hand that’s Whataboutism. But I can relate very well

We relaxed the 1 post per day limit on the original topic that prompted this discussion, to see how it would go. Unfortunately it subsequently went down the rabbit hole again and was then closed.
Which somewhat makes this topic now moot.
Also this topic has drifted and is morphing into “yet another MQA anti / pro” discussion, thus we are now closing this topic.
The side topics will be reviewed and if possible split out to their own topic, however, it’s all quite messy so no promises there.

I’ve split out some posts to a new thread What sort of forum should the Roon community site provide?, and moved a couple to an existing one. As Carl said, this thread had got messy but I hope it reads better now.
