    Was that noise?


    Edit: Ha, I get my first dislike for asking a legitimate question.

    Zebrano and Silver here, as well. Never was a fan of gold on anything a dude would wear, let alone on headphones. Our hobby is already misunderstood by pretty much everybody, don't need to explain that, too ;-)

    I got dislikes for my answer to the question too, so don't feel too bad. It's like Reddit or something, where people spit up/downvotes at everything depending on how much they agree with it.

    Hmmm is it only me thinking that people disliking someone else's choices or preferences are a bit daft ?
    Even ancient Romans knew that "de gustibus non disputandum est"
    Please feel free to dislike this - it is my *opinion* and as such is up for discussion and/or scrutiny

    If disliking someone else's choice of colours of headphone make you feel better though - I just feel sorry for you...

    What we dislike is noise.

    Discussion about a product's function is or can be signal, that's good.

    A bit of banter is fine and all, but +1'ing, shipping updates, telling people you ordered a product, your choice of underwear ... that's not meaningful, that's noise, so don't post it in a product thread, we have forum sections for noise.

    If you think you're disliked because of your preference, you're way off base. I couldn't care less what color you like your bikinis in. From one rando to another, lurk more, perhaps?

    Nope, has nothing to do with agreement & everything to do with 'creating noise' which I admit isn't necessarily an easily definable thing.

    Unless I'm mistaken, we're striving to keep these threads filled with useful information about the products. Some humorous comments & observations are fine & fun as long as they don't get out of hand. Finding out who has ordered which color doesn't really add much IMO.

    I tried to nudge away from the whole 'what did you order' topic before & it was ignored...the 'dislikes' are just another nudge. Don't take it so seriously...share some more thoughts on the sound/build quality etc. once you get them.

    Somebody asked a valid question regarding the product - possibly to find out the ratios of choices

    I answered - if that's noise maybe somebody should mention it after question was asked...
    and if my opinion about liking posts and liking them is noise your answer to my noise only contribute more of it...


    Can you re-read my post? where does it say that I think I am unliked or that I give a toss about being unliked?
    And "lurk more" I will I have been doing it for the last year or two - also will try not to contribute more "noise" even if asked


    Can admins please remove both of my posts - and this one after people mentioned had a chance to read - I do not expect any more noise generating responses

    no clean up on aisle 9.
    Mods aren’t here to delete messages to make you look better, we may move them into a separate thread where mild mockery can continue.

    OK so lets continue noise generating posts or maybe just move them to separate thread and mock me there as much as you like?? I do not think I look bad though - I may misunderstand meaning on likes or dislikes here - but to me it looked like attack on somebody else's preferences - and that a bit low in my book - Now kind person did what could be done in the beginning and sent me an PM ( no extra noise you see ) and I get that dislikes here are more of a lazy way of letting somebody know "go back to the topic"

    Looks like someone is trying really hard to make it into the How to Win Friends and Influence People forum.

    See, I did ask the original question about the color choices, and when "Let's not do this" was said, and I asked "Was that noise?" they actually did answer with 3 dislikes instead of more noise posts. That told me that what I had posted about the colors was indeed noise, so I understood and just took my dislikes with a smile and Coke and moved along. What they are saying to you with the dislikes is similar but slightly different. They are saying that if you'd read the posts after mine before posting an answer, you'd have seen that they did consider it noise and then you could have used that information to realize a response to my original question wasn't going to be well received.

    At least that's my take.

    Your reply on the color choice was normal. Actually for a split second, I almost replied too, coz I am excited for this phone.

    The dislikes to that reply was also not personal. I think they just wanted to show you that it is considered noise. That's all, mate.

    Like OldDude04, let's just move on.
