I've always considered rack rash to be the scrapes to the side of the unit from just putting it in the rack, out of the rack, whatever. I do agree with you on the point above, though.SonicAlbert said:In my definition, rack rash is specifically the gouging in the faceplate that occurs around the screw holes.
Gotta disagree on this point. Why would the abrasions made by the screws be indicative of poor maintenance and a lack of gear compassion?SonicAlbert said:I do believe that extensive rack rash, like other visible signs of abuse, is an indicator of poor maintainence and lack of caring on the part of the owner of the equipment.
