Apple censoring discussion threat on faulty iMac displays?

Posted by Dennis Sellers Apple ico Dec 19, 2007 at 2:35pm

In what appears be the first move toward censoring discussion of the issue, Apple Support has locked the discussion thread “Bought new iMac 20” Faded Screen,” which began on August 7 (the day the new iMacs were first sold), reports Tom’s Hardware site. The thread had, until it was locked earlier this week, served as the major focal point for discussion of the gradient color issue that continues to trouble owners of 20-inch and some 24-inch 2007 iMacs.

Tom’s Hardware says “the discussion thread had seen a recent surge in activity since it was mentioned in the article below, and since the beginning of the holiday shopping season.” However, new posts regarding the gradient color issue are being deleted and replaced with error messages, the article adds.
