Why was this hidden?

Another video on MQA.

@Carl: Why was this hidden? There were no inflammatory comments, and no criticism of anyone else’s views of any kind.

Is it now against Room policy to publish videos discussing/exposing MQA?

This has already been posted at least two to three other times in the community, and that violates community standards after being posted the first time. I’m sure that is why it had been hidden.

I thought there are/were threads that “expose” MQA, and this video has already been discussed in those threads already. This thread is about “Why do manufacturers support MQA?”

That video does not change anything for me. We have to support whatever format Tidal or Qobuz choose, whether it is MQA or anything else. We supported MQA only because of Tidal, and customer demand.

Is not your complaint “ax grinding”? Moderators, I flagged this. In the last few days I added content about recent findings about certain MQA dacs, and responded to @robbi_burdeck posting of relevant and recent article - all related directly related to this thread. Are not those who are not interested in the topic “ax grinding” with their constant complaint that MQA - a feature in Roon - is being discussed?!?!

edit: I see @robbi_burdeck content and my response has been moved. Why? It was directly related to the subject.

@richard_keiser,

Your post was flagged as being off topic and was pending review by the moderation team.

You then edited it, knowing it would then unhide, rather than waiting for the mods to approve or not the flag. This behaviour is frowned upon if you have a question for the mods it should be via PM or in this category so as not to derail the topic in hand.

You can see that other forum uses have now replied to your question which is in line with our view.

To summarise…

• This video is off topic and does not contribute to the discussion in hand.
• This video had been posted numerous times, and all that needed to be discussed has been.

This is a link to that topic …

Discussion about moderation split out to here and a new MQA topic created …

MQA Finale: Both Anti- and Pro- Forces Have Their Successes and Failure

A more balanced view of all of this, including the nonsense of “exposing MQA”, “fraud”, etc. that puts these videos clearly in their place is given in the recent series by Bill Leebens on Strata-gee, of which the fourth in the series is given here. See the strata-gee website for the earlier parts 1,2 and 3. They are worthwhile reads.

It’s no fun to be frowned upon. Better not to post MQA stuff. Someone always flags it.

The Roon community forum has definitely changed.

Ok thanks for keeping it in the relevant area. I am confused as to why it needed it’s own thread however, as it was in the context of the discussion on the “manufacturers” thread…

@Carl

This video had been posted numerous times, and all that needed to be discussed has been.

And why are the hundreds of almost identical post of the MQA advertising team not also hidden?

[Carl]

There are numerous repetitive posts both pro and anti MQA, however, these are mainly historical.

Following a change in governance from Roon the admin and moderation teams are now stricter on this.

Carl

Hi Carl,
Thanks for your message and very nice to e-meet you.

I’ve never had any content hidden on this forum before, and I think Roon is an awesome product.

When my post was hidden, I received these helpful instructions in an email from Roon, explaining that I could modify the original post and it would be unhidden (please see below). Since I saw nothing objectionable in my post, I followed the instructions and chose to do so.

Accordingly, I am now surprised that you are informing me that the very practice that Roon explained to me is frowned upon.

In any event, best regards.

RK

Imho, the video, and why it had been flagged, had nothing at all to do with Why Do Manufactures Support MQA. I’m surprised that many more of the comments aren’t flagged as being off topic.
