I agree too. It was only a cleaning task. Nothing more than that.

why is deleting (or cleaning up) a post directly associated with censorship? If there’s no answer to a post… can happen!

(The funnybone was working overtime this morning - I've deleted my comment. But don't think there's been any censorship ...)

I see your post here:

http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/thread/117401.aspx

No reason to be disapointed. I'm sure there is not intention to apply censorship to your post. Keith is one of the most valuable assets at Beoworld, I really appreciate his advises.

I CANNOT accept and reject TOTALLY your comments, particularly after I researched an answer for you which was nothing whatsoever to do with censorship and everything to do with providing quality answers in a well presented manner.

THE FACTS

Your posted the following which as you said was of a "Highly technical nature"

Please help !

If you turn <ON> the full system with the remote (Beosystem 2 an BV4)
Then disconnect the RS232 cable between the Beosystem 2 and the BV 4, and then turn <OFF> the Beosystem 2 with the remote (BV4 screen stays <ON>).
If you then again turn on the Beosystem 2 - what happens ?
My screen remains black/muted (with the RS232 cable disconnected) even the screen is <ON>.
Is this correct operation ???

You did not get any replies and so you posted one word which said "anybody ?" still no reply, so you posted again "anybody ?"

Subsequent to your second "anybody ?" posting I had reviewed the circuit and concluded my constructive response which was:-

Having reviewed the Service manual it is clear that only the transmit and receive signals are wired on the RS232 and other signals such as dataset ready are not wired which means that any polling or data update will NOT occur by justing plugging the cable back in. Actual data must be sent to the Beovision 4 to change its mode, as the cable was unpluged at switch on of the Beosystem, the signal would have been sent, but clearly not received.

So, in answer to your question I would say this is working as per the design.

I then just removed the two "anybody ?" postings to keep the thread clean and easy to read, how exactly is that censorship ?

I am very dissapointed that my input to the BEOWORLD FORUM was delete

My question on the forum was of highly technical nature - and one could imagine that answers would not appear immidiately.

I guess we are only allowed to ask questions, which the moderators can answer immidiately.

As the answer to my question is of great importance to me - I have to say that I am very dissaponted by the BEOWORLD censorship.

I am sure that is not was was meant! Your post was to bump the thread up as no-one had answered. Keith answered it and I imagine removed the bump - we are trying to remove as many simple posts like bumps once the thread is answered to keep our space used down. The reason the forum has been down recently is due to us coming very close to our limit. We are doing things about this but in the meantime a little housekeeping is helping! Your contributions are always valued! The computer does send the message rather than the moderators!
