Identification of members

If you want compliance, Steve, you need to make it easy for the TOS to be found.

The only thing that I knew about the TOS is that discussions about religion and politics are not allowed, since we have been constantly made aware of that fact during moderation. It's a good policy by the way, I have to admit.

Fortunately the administrators and moderators take the TOS lightly and with reasonable good sense. If the TOS was strictly applied by a fundamentalist moderation team WBF would vanish in little time ...

Please keep the link at the bottom!

Peter, I am going to ignore the rest of your questions as I feel they have been answered

It's called scrolling Al As I said my 9yo grandson found the TOS in under a minute

This is getting silly, Steve. Do you really scroll down to the bottom of each web page that you open?

Of course you don't, there is usually no reason to.

And again, even if you were to scrioll down on WBF, the "Terms and Rules" button is in small print. It's not even under "Quick Navigation" but really at the bottom.

Good job burying it.

Sorry Al but IMO it is you who are being silly. I have answered all of your questions as well Al so any further will be ignored

True.

Whatever, Steve. It's your choice.

Whatever, Steve. It's your choice.

IMO it's pretty simple Al. Once again Al can you acknowledge that the TOS are sitting directly above this thread in which you are posting.

That's what I see, Steve, see below. It doesn't even spell out Terms of Service in full, but says "and Terms O..."

What an eye catcher:

 

[Steve Williams]

BTW Al I have also failed to mention our Search Function

If you go to the Search function at the top right and search by title only and enter Terms of Service it comes up quicker than what my grandson did. I really don't know what else to say. If it is difficult to scroll you obviously have not used our search function. but you're right this IS getting silly

I see you really didn't do what I told you. You are posting in a thread which is in the same subforum as our TOS. If you go into that subforum you will see this

Enjoy the rest of the day Al

Not sure I follow.

I always look under "New Posts". I usually don't look under which subforum a thread is.

You too, Steve.

 

[Steve Williams]

Then all I can say is use the SEARCH function and search by titles only and enter the words Terms of Service. It appears as soon as you click enter. I’m done. It’s just too simple

 

[Al M.]

This is what I get. No direct link to the thread "Terms of Service" (scrolling down further in the search doesn't change anything). But at least now that the forum title has changed to "Announcements, Suggestion Box and Terms of Service" it comes up that way. Progress!

Good. No surprise there.

Google is a much better search engine than almost anything else, including Amazon.

Whenever I want a product from Amazon, lets call it productX, I google "productX amazon". Much better and more reliable that to search for "productX" in the Amazon search window.

The latter is frequently hopeless, it gives all kind of nonsense that I am not looking for. And Amazon is supposed to be one of the best websites on the planet...

Once I am on the desired product page on Amazon, however, further looking up related things there is a breeze.

 

[Al M.]

Great update, bringing it to the top. Thank you!

 

[Steve Williams]

well we aren't Amazon or Google but our search engine includes elastisearch which will search down to 3 symbols and is pretty darn fast. This came up in 2 seconds or less

Is there an easy way to idendify a commercial dealer / distributor?

Is it as simple as seeing "Industry Expert" below their name?

Therefore all other members are just audiophiles that do not have commercial relationships?

I am also still looking for clarification about #1 which states WBF does not control what people post.

As we have discussed many times WBF does not "control what people post." For some reason I truly don't understand you choose to characterize the moderation panel's enforcement of the Terms of Service as controlling what people post.

This is a mischaracterization of how the WBF moderation panel operates.
