lost topic???? Hang in Spain

[michael]

I thought I hadn´t dreamt this night that there was a topic about an
out of tune hang in Spain and someone who wanted to buy it
or swap against two other instrument and resell it at once?

what happened?
Am I ill and have to go to a psychiatrist at once?
Please help me perhaps there is rescue for me
Is there censorship in the group behind us normal members?
In the orange guy group?
In the mod/ admin group?
NO INFORMATION!
Less moderation last months.

As far as I know was this topic very interesting
and important to protect the people from buying an out of tune
instrument.
And it was important to protect us from people who wants to buy and resell at once
inside the forum!
Especially if there is a -not nice- history and terminated ban of this member?!

PLEASE INFORM US!

Yeah...the thread was there yesterday but it seems its gone:

It shows me this: "You are not authorised to read this forum."

So I dont really know whats up...and No, you didnt dreamed of it!!! Or then we dreamed both about the same thing!

[greenoak]

Yes, the thread was removed to our Admin area to discuss.

There were multiple reports on the thread by members. I temporarily removed it.

Yes there is censorship on this forum. That is why it is a "moderated" forum. Maybe not well modetated, but moderated.

Sorry for the inconvenience

It's a tangled web, indeed. I think it would probably be useful to retain the thread; perhaps it could go here in Buyer Beware, I think it would serve well as an alert to those who might, in all innocence, be tempted to buy. I do realize there are earlier examples of the same sort of thing, but newcomers to the forum might not see those until it's too late for them.

I acknowledge that the thread is very uncomfortable.

Good luck to the mods trying to figure out the truth of the matter.

I would like to once again publicly thank Ray (greenoak), Gerald, lino, In2nation, and TyGuy for their service as Administrators and Imagineye and Miguel Carvalho for their service as Global Moderators.
Of course, thanks also to Gidda!

INDEED! That topic started out toxic and was getting worse as it progressed.

I had the impression that it was all about settling scores between handpan dealers...
Jumped a bit on it because M. hadn't answered my question on FB a week before about why he was selling/swapping the same Hang as someone else...
Not sure I helped keeping this subject healthy but it felt rotten from the start and some questions had to be asked.

I add my thanks to yours, mudman. But - trying to figure out the TRUTH of the matter? I'd think that's likely an impossible task, even by the most astute on these forums; and in that category I include you, broussel, and many other who have been on the thread (Carbon, for example, and Michael (ha! either one; both).

The thread is so wiggly and slippery that I believe no truth can be determined from it (the one we're not seeing at the moment, or, the one that was removed).

I fervently hope that the very slipperiness of it would serve as ample warning even to newcomers to avoid trying to make reasonable transactions.

To me it was all about a case of "first come, first trusted".
