Devs hijack every thread?

[Lotuzia]

I find the daily Oxium threads more than annoying (actually it's not even daily threads, it's just that the OP, of course employee of the company, seems to re-name the thread every time he gets accused of shamelessly advertising his product with a thread full of, what he says, useful information and feature requests). Basically, if i want information about the synth, i go to their website, check the specs listen to audio demos and try the demo and if i like it, i buy it, big deal. And if i have a feature request, i probably would do it in their own forum, which they have as the OP stated...

Don't get me wrong, it's totally alright to announce it here in the forums, and totally ok to discuss it also, but in these threads you feel with every word the penetrance of guerilla marketing of these guys, it's just no good style anymore. At least i found those threads pretty ridiculous...

We made one Oxium thread, wich was locked for some reasons, independant of our will. ( 777 posts, 55 000 views, maybe this is why you saw the original thread a lot lately)

Then we started a second thread to continue the first one because we feel that people who are interested in Oxium have the right to get informed, and so that we can communicate with them, because there ARE people who are interested in Oxium, as you could read in the 777 posts original thread, and in the second one, and I'm sure you will agree that these persons opinions have the right to be respected ALSO, after all they live on the same forum than you dont they ? .

This second thread was unfortunately lost while a moderator tried to separate the non usefull part of it.

So our thread was estimated perfectly legit, while some posts in our thread were not judged usefull.

You have the perfect right to find these info threads ridiculous, and not to be interested in Oxium. Maybe you could just avoid and ignore them.

For your information, I'm not a Xils employee.

For your information also, we were invited to start a new informative Oxium thread by the moderator. Imo : This sums it all.

What is with this us vs them imagery here?

To me, developers are part of this community as well. Like it or not.

Now watch, someone will come along and suggest that I am a fanboi of certain developers or better yet, a 'spokesperson'.....

have you ever saw a Omnisphere dev in any of this threads

lots of times. And the sound set guy are way worse than the synth developers. But I don't mind because I find a lot of good soundsets this way.

Don't think that every big company is against you... There are much more ordinary people than competitors who just don't want to see advertisement shows.

No I don't mean every big company. I mean that there will always be certain devs, fanboys, shills or socket puppets that won't like what I do.

But that's just life.

I think I still have the right to mention and promote our products where I see fit (unless asked by a forum authority to stop doing so).

no, most of arent. and we're still fed up of seeing the same devs pimping themselves in every possible thread.

Easy with the reality distortion field!

Ladies and gentleman, I had enough forum drama today. See you

George don't worry. your products are great and do speak for themselves. Nothing is wrong with promoting your products either, if they are worth promoting. Your products are worth promoting.

U-he, Xils, DiscoDSP - all established, legitimate, developers open to communicating on the forum. They're not hacks spamming ripped-off sample libraries. They have different approaches to communicating their message, and this is a global forum with cultural/language differences to be accounted for when communicating. I don't think putting up with a little enthusiastic marketing is a big deal when a company is also using the forum to be responsive, listen to customers, and provide free support.

There's some competition, things can occasionally get a little out of hand, and it gets sorted out. But it's more like family here, and if your little brother is annoying you talking about his toys, you ignore him. You don't lock him out of the house.

A thousand 12-year olds posting "How do I make this sound?", and we gotta complain about the devs?

Jeez...

We're griping about that in the "noob comment of the day" thread too.
Just complaining in general.

Spam, Barry, that's what the issue is.

Who defines what spam is, you ask? I guess every individual defines it based on where the line of annoyance is for them.

I found a certain, ehem...bovine...developer to be doing something I considered to be a spam technique, but others disagreed, which is fine. I still felt I was in the clear to at least express my opinion in what is supposed to be a general public forum, not really a free yellow pages for developers.

But on the exact subject at hand, only...Eye Kaye (not their real name) really get on my nerves as far as the well established devs here, and that is mostly because they are like a tag team (no one else has that particular approach) and they have a sense of thread-creep, where they just seem to be oozing into threads where I'm scratching my head and saying to myself "was that product-pitch post really appropriate here?"

eye kaye omg, yer killin' me man!

Hey, I need some plausible deniability here.

[darsho]

you could add some others too ( i'd vote for ik and synthmaster dev )

ik are the worst.

I don't understand the policy of KVR in this regard, tbh.
They use the forum for guerilla marketing without paying.

If it was my forum, I would limit such activities to their subforum and if they want to advertise their shitty stuff, pay for ads.

[A.M. Gold]

Yea, but what do you really think?

You don't have any idea how often that happens to me in metering threads or through PM.
