I class myself as involved with Matrix Amplification and therefore post as a manufacturer.
I actively try not to moderate any posts regarding amplification, ( especially my own ) so as not to have my impartiality called into question.
I would happily edit any posts / anywhere that contained foul language.
I think a blanket statement can never cover all bases.
For example.
A manufacturer not being a mod because they may moderate with bias could lead to;
a person whom is friendly with a manufacturer not being a mod because they may moderate with bias,
which in turn gives us a person using a particular brand of ( insert any country here ) amplifier not being a mod because they might be biased.
Most of the people active upon this forum are using kit in someway shape or form, therefore will have their own experiences with the harware and / or manufacturers.
I think this forum has worked wonderfully well thus far with no huge debates about ethics etc.
Maybe there should be a different criteria for moderator status ( prior examples of impartiality and fairness perhaps. )
I have kept my promise, that I made in person, to Florian.
Just my two pence worth.
