However, it raises more questions:

Why not simply to move the poll questions to Archival and ask Philip to change his post ?
Why the aggressive delete without any explanation ?
Are you covering for another mod action with an explanation after the fact ?
Was the deleting was done due to another Dogie complain ?


Please make your company a PR favor by assuming good faith here, you had a sensible explanation from the forum admin himself. IMHO the first two questions are kind of legit (though picky), but the last two are slipping into personal suspicion or conspiracy theories. By now I think we've all taken notice that you and Dogie aren't friends, just let it be.
The third question can be answered by a simple yes/no from Theymos. I will respect and accept his answer.
Regarding Dogie, I do consider him a (misguided) friend. I wrote about it here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10284726

Since he did revived "Spondoolies Spam" thread and asked moderator to move it to Meta from Trash, I have enough ground for suspicion. If he'll deny, I'll accept it and publicly apologise.

Edit: I didn't raise "conspiracy theories" levels questions - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10285563

Having 6 open topics about the same thing isn't OK. It's not fair to people who read/post other topics, since they'll tend to have a disadvantage when it comes to position in the topics list.

Post the polls in Archival, and lock all of them. Then link to the polls from one topic in Hardware.
Thank you for the explanation and the solution how to do the poll.

Guy it is not worth fighting about.
...
I don't intend to let go until an explanation will be provided. I find the mod action hostile and biased.
I'm starting to suspect foul, evil play.
It is ridiculous that a Legendary member of Bitcointalk can't run some polls about hardware in the hardware forum.

Why were the polls and all their comments removed? Surely they were on-topic for the hardware forum?
Exactly !

Isn't it enough that you are one of the 3 remaining ASIC vendors that haven't yet screwed the pooch?

When you pay a guy to make 5(!) separate polls, don't be surprised when a mod cracks down.

They let pretty much anything slide, but if your minions take the piss and clog up the sub that's too much.

You really should have better things to worry about.

C'mon dude, don't be a Spamdoolie!   Smiley

These kinds of polls are very easy to manipulate anyway. I wouldn't say being the winner of these kinds of polls would give you any additional credibility. I would say that having a long term positive customer experiences (like providing good customer support, making machines that are stable and run as advertised, and other similar experiences) is what will help your company over the long term.

These kinds of actions are rarely explained by moderators, however it is possible that it was because they were essentially duplicates of each other when looked at on a per thread basis. As mentioned above having a thread with a surveymonkey (or other 3rd party website) link would probably be better if you wanted to insist on having this kind of poll/survey

We need a better method to showcase good gear and good builders.

You have good gear you have been a good builder.

Bitmaintech has good gear they have been a good builder.


Asic Miner  has been spotty

Avalon has been spotty.

It is pretty simple the home miner has 4 pieces of gear to pick from at the moment in the 800- 1500gh class and   under 1500 watts  or 1 USA power socket 15 amp 120 volt socket.

the spondoolies sp20

the avalon4

the s-5

the prisma

I can point flaws in 3 of them.-------never owned the avalon4.

I can point flaws in all 4 builders.

I want to create a fair survey thread that stays current on top home mining gear.    

I can't the polls deleted took up a lot of space,  but a survey thread would not.  

I am tired will think this over a good nights sleep.

Simple question: Why ?
Second question: Was Dogie behind it ?
I think the issue was that there were 5 threads when there really should have been just one.
philipma1957 didn't find a technical way to do the polls question in one thread.
It also doesn't explain why the threads were removed without ANY explanation by the mods.

The poll thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/philipma1957s-attempt-to-rate-current-manufacturers-of-asic-results-in-938256

Snapshot of the manufacturers poll Philipma1957 ran before the mods killed it off



I find the mods action unbelievable.
