The word "crazy" is unhelpful
AlexS:
No it's not normal. I frequent many forums owned by many companies and I've never seen this much moderation. Well there is one antivirus company beginning with Z where the mods spend their days deleting posts.
As customers we should be able to have a sensible discussion and debate going on here providing we are polite. However I get the feeling that this is a forum run by the mods for the mods. It does not feel friendly here. You guys don't seem polite. Just read the last thread I created.
I apologise but that is my opinion. I hope this does not get me banned.
DarkPenguin:
I wasn't trying to be helpful.

I can accept that; however this is more like a Bed & Breakfast or a hotel where the guest pay money to use the facilities. Also, the guest are part of the public at large which must be treated with a little more respect. Locking threads, changing titles, deleting parts of the thread that the moderator may not agree with is not a good thing and in most societies that is the heavy hand of paranoid censorship. Does JRiver have the right... YES, absolutely. Is it right all the time... absolutely not.
Just my thoughts.
glynor:
We weren't being unfriendly. We disagreed. That isn't the same thing.
But once the question has been asked and answered by the developers, as yours was, then further discussion only leads to trouble, and isn't "helpful". I was the one who locked that thread. That is why. We were rehashing the same arguments over again, which accomplishes nothing.
We try very hard to be friendly here, and to have relatively open minds. But this is a moderated forum, for a business, to provide support to customers. Sometimes threads about tangential topics, or those that go on and on without accomplishing anything can confuse other observers.
Sorry if you don't like it. I don't have any intention of banning anyone who can behave and has polite conversation. But that doesn't mean we will let "anything go" even if it is reasonably polite (and I somewhat disagree that your tone was completely polite in the last thread, but that wasn't why I locked it).

I just re-read your thread, and I'm not sure why you think people have been impolite to you. Your ideas certainly did not get a warm reception. You might get a better reception in the future if you made concrete suggestions and explained how they would be beneficial, instead of repeatedly linking to a 4,000 word certification spec that doesn't articulate any specific benefits to receiving the certification. An example of one such post:
--- Quote ---Standard responses...
So none of this will be of benefit obviously ::):

The benefits of the certification obviously seem self-evident to you; they clearly are not so self-evident to anyone else in the thread (or to me for that matter even after reading the link twice). Several of the participants in that thread who were confused about what you were trying to say were not mods, just users like you and me. Take that as a cue that perhaps you are not succeeding as a communicator and should explain yourself a bit better and more concretely (as Hendrik suggested).
Not to put too fine a point on it, but perhaps rather than pointing out the speck in your neighbor's eye-rolling emoticons, remove instead the beam from your own eye-rolling emoticons.
