Preventative spoke maintenance ?

I am on the TBR7 Facebook group, and a lot of people have trouble with ruined rims. I asked if the rims on these bikes were somehow flawed, and if they were less quality than other steel rims on Chinese dual sports. I was informed that they must be properly torqued. I do occasionally just go around, and make sure none are loose, and that they all sound about right. That's what I did on my Brozz 250 as well. It never had a loose spoke, and as of the last check neither had my TBR7. I asked the guy that said they needed torqued, if he meant just to make sure they seem tight, and sound right,. And he responded,. "Yes, they needed torqued" . I don't really know if he was meaning that the torqued actually be measured , or if he was saying " Yes" to the method I have been practicing. How do you folks maintain you spokes, and rims ? Thanks
