For those of you that read the Audi World Message Boards, yesterday there was a "battle" between the S4ers and the TTers. It got really ugly at the end and the powers that be deleted/suspended a bunch of S4ers accounts but NONE of the TT people.
The ORIGINAL post was an S4er going to the TT Board and replying to threads asking why certain completely off topic posts were not moderated. These posts were regarding wine, a eating out, etc... again, stuff COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC. Then the mudslinging start when the S4ers and TTers started calling each other names.
I voiced my opinion twice, stating there was a double standard in the moderation of the Boards and got suspended as well. I guess AW doesn't like the truth and the truth is the S4 Board gets moderated so much more than any other Board.
Anyway, I just figured I would give you gals and guys the heads up. I know many people were wondering what happened. Well, in a nutshell, now you know.

Sorry to hear that, your the voice of reason over there more often then not. Actually you always are. Telling the kids that their S4s are not as fast and as supreme as they think..
I could easily let my anger get the best of me and start talking trash to the moderators. I understand the doulbe standard, and its not always easy running a board like that with so much traffic. Certain times its better not to say anything even when your right. Its hard and it takes reserve. But sometimes you just need to say something.. Trust me, I have butted heads with plenty of times on forums and message boards, even got banned a couple times for voicing my opinion..
But it happend and now its gone and I have pretty much forgotten about it, its funny now. But still I understand the issue on Audiworld, and it does suck...

...the Big Cheese at AudiWorld and I know the reason why I was booted. It's clear they don't want me or anyone telling the truth, that there's a double standard there. <br> I mentioned there was a double standard a grand total of 3 times in three different posts and they were immediately deleted. <br> Mr. Teller stated I violated their terms of service because I was a ring leader in that S4 vs TT fiasco. How could I be a ring leader when I made a grand total of 4 posts on the TT Board that day and two were SERIOUS posts explaining the double standard and the other two were: "TThuuuper!!!" and "LOL!!!" I made no other posts on the TT, yet I get suspended. What a joke. Anyway, no big deal, I don't need AW. Come to think of it, Mr. Teller actually did me a favor because I was spending far too much time there. ;D I will reallocate my time and bug all of you.

Sorry to hear that you got booted Dan! Well, it's not the end of the world, anyways!
Everyone knows of the double standard, and that is why most of us keep our mouths shut. It won't change anything by speaking your mind.
Well, we need you here more anyway! Your wise coments are mostly helpful.

Dan? The sound of reason on AW? Please Yes, AW has some arbitrary moderation rules, which do not apply across forums. In their defense though, I think TT owners have a different type of "community" then the S4 board. There's too much testosterone running rampant on some days, and we get our share of BMW trolls. I don't think anyone on our forum would ever post & brag about their furniture. Anyway, not supporting their actions, especially in this case because of the draconian tactics used on ONLY s4 members, but the TT & S4 crowds are quite different. Finally, Josh is right - I'm sorry Dan, but we're going to have to suspend your account here as well ;D

Mike, good points but not just the TT Board, the A4 Board as well. I mean when TTers talk about furniture and paintings and wine it's fine. But when we S4ers do, it's IMMEDIATELY moderated. That's B.S. Anyway, enough on AW. Oh another note, I just purchased this 100% redwood, Queen-Sized Futon with matching...

Ouch! Dude, sucks that you got the boot. Man, it's gonna be really strange w/o you on the board.
Weird, lotta forum members leaving/getting banned. Oh well.
About the whole story though, that's pretty messed up. It's obvious someone from the TT forum is a little too close w/ some of the moderators.
And yes, S4 forum is waaaaaaaaaaaay too over moderated. Lame.
Had fun chattin it up w/ you.
