Hi @Kris
I just want to step in as a third party (and concerned N&G citizen) and hopefully help a bit here.
I don't think anyone is in the wrong here. It seems like this is more of a communication issue than an issue around what actually happened.
I don't believe that @Dead C is frustrated because the address was removed, in fact, it appears that @Dead C agrees this makes sense based on the fact that the address could be a residential addresses even though it is listed as a commercial address by the company.
It would be surprising to find someone who disagrees that this action was justified.
The issue stems more around the communication that happened. @Dead C feels that the communication implied that there was malicious intent behind the post.
I suspect that one of the reasons we all enjoy this community is that there has been more respect and transparency on this board than on other boards we may or may not have been apart of in the past.
The outright warning that someone is about to be banned for posting an address listed as the commercial address could seem a bit harsh especially given the context of the post, which did not call for malicious action to be taken by any party. The action also appeared to go against what we, as users of the forum, have come to expect from moderators.
Perhaps in the future, it would be more constructive for a conversation to happen with the user and moderator(s) when behaviour is deemed not appropriate for posting instead of a threat to remove the user from the forum.
I believe this is a great example of how messages are conveyed being more important than the content of the message.
I hope that this conversation regarding this incident will help this forum continue to be a place where people feel comfortable discussing all things music and vinyl.
