My grievances pertain to KVR and the Novation forum.
I just made an attempt to post a reply in a hardware category of the KVR forum & my action was blocked,as I received an error message stating that my post was
"spammy" in nature & that I should revise my post....WTF?
A few days earlier,I joined the Novation forum to post a request for some advice on a Novation Impulse midi controller & when I tried to post it,I received a message saying that my post is awaiting approval from the moderator.
The following day,I received an e-mail saying that my post was rejected as being spam,in nature.
Spam is a terrible pain in the butt for everyone,but in the event it happens,it should be the moderator's job to just delete the post(if in fact it is clearly spam).
If any of my posts had a link to another site,then I could understand all of the alarms going off & me being red-flagged...but my posts were blatantly innocent.
It seems as though some of these administrators & moderators are so overzealous about security,simply because they are too lazy and can't be bothered with the task of deleting posts that are deemed as a threat....but then again,having to monitor & approve posts before they are posted,certainly seems like an awful lot of trouble to go through.
I realize that spam filtering software alone, can be very ineffective is some instances,but I still fail to see any logic or reason in the way some of these forums operate.
I've read an alarming amount of incompatibility issues with Novation Impulse keyboards,which is what lead me to post a query in their forum...but because of the way they treat newcomers to their forum...Novation has just lost a potential customer for life.
It's bad enough that Novation has so many tech issues with their Impulse keyboards,without having to deal with the idiots who manage the forum, rejecting a perfectly legitimate posting.
Besides which,Novation keyboards aren't cheap...so the thought of me asking for trouble by purchasing one & being minus some serious coin in the process,is not an attractive prospect.
As for KVR...well..it's just not worth the time or the effort for me to pull my hair out,in trying to determine what I said "wrong",that caused KVR's alarms to go off.
