Not sure if this is against forum rules and don''t want to turn this into a pricescope vs diamondtalk thread, but do the moderators/vendors over at diamondtalk work together to create a "revisionist" type history? A newbie over there posts asking about blue nile''s signature line and diamondsbylauren posts a comment inferring that you are going to get aa bad diamond by buying from a "dropshipper". While I''m all for getting a lot of info on a diamond (I bought through GOG), I''ve come to accept a large part of the population doesn''t care about pavilion angles, idealscopes, etc and is just happy knowing the 4 c''s of their diamond. Anyways, I post a comment calling out diamondsbylauren stating that the diamonds are owned by bluenile (hence the laser inscription) and then proceed to mention a couple of vendors in the NOVA area (the person mention they lived in VA) that are worth checking out. Well I check the thread a couple of days later, my post is deleted and the original post by diamondsbylauren is edited as if they never said bluenile was a dropshipper (I didn''t even critize them or any of the vendors in my post). Is this typical behavior over there? A simple yes/no answer would be interesting to see.
 
Yes.

Additionally, many of the best regular contributors on PS are banned from DT. Rhino for sure, AGBF, but I think Wink and Garry might be, not certain. Definitely lots of others, banned for ridiculous reasons, which brings the level of discourse over there way, way down, IMO.

Some of the most instructive threads over here are the result of several professionals debating the science. At DT it seems dissent is squashed. I don't really even read much DT myself. Content over here is far superior IMO.

We don''t need this.
Let DT do their thing and ignore them and do what we do best here.
Help people.

Arcam, dispite your intention for this not to turn into a PS vs DT thread it likely will.

right. and no reason for it.
 
Thanks, ^, for pointing to archives. I agree, let's not get into negativity.


On any large forum moderators have to do unpopular censuring/policing.

Every case depends on the main goal(s) of each particular forum.


There are people who don't like how we moderate this forum too. Sorry... (no. not really
