Hello Vik 
I totally agree.
It’s time for Rose to do something!!!
Tricycle! Go back where you came from!

Frankly, I don’t think the staff really care. If they do, they should have stepped forward long long time ago.

Who’s everyone, you and Boris and two others elite audiophiles? I am trying to make peace here, please don’t make personal attacks. It was Bonte and his little buddy Boris peddling his banana peel nonsense and SPAMing every forum trying to make believe his vintage , bargain basement equipment was better than everyone else. I was just offering an alternate viewpoint that believes those older, cheaper equipment are not good compared to ROSE flagship products and other higher price points from better brands . Some of us just are way past old, used speakers and beginner equipment , we’re not allowed to do that in peace ?
Please Bonte, I’m just responding to Boris, has nothing to do with you or your boyfriend Boris. Again, I am politely asking you to leave me alone and not mention me. I have no interest in interacting with you.
Also, I would agree with the others. You’ve been a great influence around here. Stay positive and keep up your good work. Don’t let this get you down.
I just noticed the “Guidelines for Positive Participation in HiFi Rose Community” was re-pinned globally yesterday, even though it has been sitting in the forum for 3 years. https://community.roseaudio.kr/t/guidelines-for-positive-participation-in-hifi-rose-community/4832
According to those Guidelines:
Blockquote
Respectful language: We recommend that you use respectful language and avoid any form of hate speech, harassment, or personal attacks towards others.
Blockquote
Constructive criticism: We encourage you to share your experiences with HIFI ROSE products, but please ensure that any feedback or criticism is constructive and not intended to harm or insult other users.
Blockquote
No trolling or inciting drama: We recommend that you do not engage in trolling or intentionally incite drama or conflict within the community.
Blockquote
Moderation: If you notice any behavior that violates these recommendations, please report it to the moderators, who will take appropriate action to address the situation.
By no means to make matters worse, but while most of us value the respectful exchange of HiFi and audiophile ideas in this forum, there are some individuals who are repeatedly harassing and attacking others with foul language to suppress differing viewpoints.
Multiple members, including myself, have reported these instances to the moderation team many times – both directly and indirectly via different posts – as these behaviors not only violate the HiFi Rose Community Guidelines regarding “Respectful language” and “No trolling,” but have also created a hostile atmosphere that discourages proper productive dialogue.
Sadly, it is disappointing that we have seen neither an appropriate reply nor any proper intervention taken by the moderation team against these individuals to resolve these conflicts in a timely manner according to the Community Guidelines. Worse still, some members, such as @joyofmvid, appear to have been unfairly penalized for the disruptive behavior of others (see this post).
While I don’t hold out much hope, I once more urge the moderation team, @ROSEHAN and @ROSELOA, to intervene fairly and justly from now on to ensure this forum remains “a positive and respectful environment for all users”, which HiFi Rose and the moderation team committed to in the official Guidelines.

Finally, I will issue a warning to @BorisM
If this issue occurs again, we will consider taking action, including a ban.

Thank you Rosehan. I am a very dedicated supporter of Hifi Rose, and will ensure commitment to a respectful and safe community . I am willing to be banned permanently with Boris if it means keeping our community safe from future violations.
Hello Eun-Seong Han,
I really appreciate you as a moderator! You always give quick and constructive answers. I read everything in this forum.
What I don’t understand is why only @BorisM is being punished!
Since the bike reappeared here, the whole madness has really taken off.
I ask you to see both sides of the coin and to reconsider your decision!
Kind regards, Bonte…

As I mentioned several times, this is about enforcing the rules. Whether it’s me or Boris, nobody has a right to call another person “idiot”, “dumb” or any other harassing word . I have committed to following all of those rules now, and Boris must do the same or he will be banned . If I don’t follow the rules, I ask that I be banned too. The rules will be applied equally to all.

That’s okay.
But be on your guard, Boris is expressive and eloquent!
He can also insult you if he doesn’t address you personally.
Post decent things without always referring to your supposed “super super high-end equipment.”

Yes, Boris is very eloquent when it comes to insulting other people, calling them stupid or idiots. It makes no difference whether he addresses someone directly or indirectly. Personally, I find it extremely disturbing that almost every thread here gets hijacked and then the below-the-belt insults start.
You can actually expect it to happen regularly—no matter what topic is brought up—that a certain group of people, led by Boris, will throw out a bone and someone will jump on it.
I’ve actually been waiting a very, very long time for the moderators to take action here, because I’ve never seen anything like this in any other forum.

@ROSEHAN @ROSELOA @BorisM @TomT
Exactly, thank you Frank. The moderators have given Boris a final warning. We all pray and hope this will now be a safe community and begin to grow again. Countless good audiophiles have been turned off and left because of this problem. Here’s to a new leaf ! FYI, the rules are posted here and encouraged to report to moderators for violations.
I will be on my guard , and will report any violations even if he insults me or others indirectly as we know he likes to do.
This is Rose’s forum, and they can run it any way they please. But I do not owe jack to you.
On the other hand, each and every post you make (as well as some of your friends like Tom) is insulting to the intelligence of every other participant here, even if the grown-ups usually do not run crying to the moderators about it.

You can’t know for sure whether Boris enjoys doing that!
Another pointless statement from you!
And don’t forget that Boris has already given numerous constructive answers here in the forum that have been very helpful to other forum members.
You are a guest on the Hifi Rose forum. You do not have the right to make any disparaging comments about me or Tom. I refer you to this rule:
Respectful language: We recommend that you use respectful language and avoid any form of hate speech, harassment, or personal attacks towards others.
You implied “the grown ups do not run to the moderators”. That is not respectful and a personal attack against me and Tom, implying we are not “grown ups”. If you continue, unfortunately I will have to report your rule violation.
Whether Boris gives constructive answers is irrelevant if he continues to violate the rules.
May I point it out that it applies to you as well. Nevertheless, every time you present some factually incorrect position, instead of trying to back it up with some logical argument (which, to be fair, you can’t, because you lack both the facts and the technical knowledge necessary) you do the “I haz this expensive and you don’t, I knows better!” Which technically violates the same part of the rules.
Grown-ups just ignore it, of course, but you are exactly the kind of person they mean when talking about throwing rocks in a glass house.
