Is It Time For Moderators?

I like the idea of letting the OP moderate the thread. 

Will all OP's have the discipline to fairly moderate the threads?

It will become a major problem when someone posts about some manufacturers product. As we could potentially have a loose cannon representing somebody's product unfairly. Or the OP could be a friend of that manufacturer who deletes any posts that fairly question the validity of certain claims.

I have asked Chris to delete my thread because you didn't want to respect the intended scope.  So you did the right thing and started your own thread.  Thank you.  I have no relationship to Mola Mola or its dealers/distributors.  I am simply considering buying one and wanted to keep the discussion factual.

If all you want in your thread is listening impressions, call it the Mola Mola Tambaqui listening impressions thread. A general title will attract general posting. And I think people like to have the option to have general discussions about the DAC and the pros/cons of the design.

You seem to have trouble accepting rules laid out by an OP. 

The general title of the thread gave the impression that it was a thread about open discussion regarding the DAC. Not everyone is going to scroll back to the 1st post to read the rules in the real world. So I think it's better to put that it's a listening impressions thread in the title, if that's the intention of the thread.
