"Toby,

Hello and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts in
regards to my previous post. I have a few minutes to spare and would
like to share as well.

What I said is true... It's obvious what moderators are supposed to
do, such as making sure the rules are not violated ETC. This goes
without saying. But in fact, some moderators are deleting / editing
information based upon their allegiance to certain products. There is
no denying this, the proof is the very posts that reside on your
forum.

"Help Forums" are only helpful when "shared information" regarding
products, services, software (good and bad) is allowed to remain as
is. Sure, moderate the posts and make sure no violations are occurring
but don't edit posts based upon anything else. As forum readers, we
expect and are entitled to read what others feel in regards to
products, services, software (good and bad). The majority of us don't
want to see bashing, flaming and bad language so protect us from this,
only this.

In regards to ads, it's fine to share information regarding those
products as these ads assist in keeping the forum open. Having said
this, if your intent is to truly provide a "Helpful Forum" where
"Information is shared" then don't delete the negative comments
regarding the advertised products or delete the positive comments for
competing products. Doing so would just verify that your intent is not
to provide a "helpful forum" where "information is shared"

I think we would all agree that having a choice is great. You would
also have to agree that too many choices can make decisions more
difficult. Having the ability to read about the good and bad regarding
products could assist in regards to us making these decisions. So
using your very definition of a forum, let's ensure that this forum
remains "helpful" by sharing all "information" for all products
(advertised or not)
