where there’s smoke there’s forum fire
Jonny there are already two open threads discussing the issue you are referring to. We don't want the forum filled with several threads debating the exact same thing with the exact same arguments.
THERE IS NO CENSORSHIP! Only an attempt to keep the peace and order.
Jonny....I couldn't agree more, and personal attacks are definitely not acceptable. I just sent a PM to Adam about closing the first thread till Saturday, now I come back and another is closed that speaks to the answer from nikon about the issue. I don't get it. Whats going on? Is Nikon calling and saying they don't like the comments? Close the thread cause we know its true but its bad publicity? I have a discussion going with Nikon right now, and its a good one. I would like to have posted it, but now I don't know if it will get closed.
Niko, this thread is more meta—it's about censorship, and I was using the 70-200 as an example. Willis posted about the 70-200, but I was using this for what the title says—to discuss censorship on NRF.
I think a better idea than closing Max's most recent thread about the emails would be to ask if you can move it to the 70-200 thread. If he refused to let you move it after you explained why:

then I think you'd be justified moving it without his permission if you included a note saying you had done it.
Admin, rules please!
PS, Niko I count 3 threads about the new 70-200. Ridiculous? Maybe, but it's a pretty hot topic right now and people are interested.
Then they can discuss it in TWO other threads.

And there is no Nikon conspiracy at work behind the closings!
Jonny....I agree that dupicate threads should be refered to one. Just to clarify, My thread was about "When do we say Enough", I did use a reference about the VR II, but it was not about that lense, MY Bad I Guess, maybe I should have used the 18-200 instead. It was about Accountability.
all users, who's topic has been altered has been informed through PM's. There's no censorship on this forum, neither non of us (mods) get anything from Nikon. Moreover, if You will follow the threads closely, than:
- You will notice, it was me who brought the 70-200 distance shortening topic over here,
- discussion on the "closed" topic hasn't been altered in any ways - no posts were censored
- the discussion become too personal, and that's why the topic has been closed
I don't support the closing of the threads, but I suppose that's the way it's going to be.
To me, it's like interrupting someone else's conversation. If there's two groups in a room discussing the same thing, are you going to tell one of the groups to shut up and go join the other one?
I say just let it be.
