FATALITY

hey can this double as a ask the mods thread too?

can this be reopened: [url]http://sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=463171[/url]

in the youtube frenzy thread a few people said we should put our own videos in a thread and that's what this was.

roy, ill just post it again, that cool?

EDIT:and fix the URL things

yeah that's cool :D

...

whoa i didn't see that.

all the url links are gone.

son of a bitch.

...oh yeah i know why it would be like. the internet link feature was taken out.

@Mods:

the R&M changes all the official band threads and we all know that the guitar forum is not the best;
what do you think if we make official threads in the Guitar forum? we can make a big sweeping, legato, tapping, etc. thread and have a few big ones, instead of all the 10sweeping threads each day?

Those work in theory I suppose, but when it comes to application, they'll work like the official setup thread, a few good pages, and then a million pages of idiocy.

Pretty much, as well as a pile of bannings to be handed out for some new kid who didn't see the 'official legato thread' that was four pages back. I personally don't like what R&M are doing with the twenty 'official' threads.

And really, have you seen the topics of threads in Guitar? You'd need about three official threads and then there'd never be any new threads ever again.

but i only mean some few official threads... if you want Black Fist make a thread of how we can make the guitar forum better! and discuss about it... maybe we will find a way what we can do...

i thought only about guitar-technique-official-threads like sweeping, tapping, legato, difficult special rhythm and something like that. that would be only 3-5 official ones and everything else will stay as it is...
it would be better for those who ask, cause the good guitar players will visit f.e. the sweeping thread often and will know how to help.

if now someone ask something 80% will only post "practise" - that doesn't help

What??:smash:

quite the long title lol. Nice rules, They're simple and to the point.

Again, it works in theory, but never turns out well in practice. The 'good guitar players' will visit the thread a few times, then get sick of the same question over and over and over again and either bail or start being pricks. And, really- Most of the time when someone asks a question about how to sweep better or something, the answer [i]is[/i] "practice".

I think closing the Metallica thread was so fukking stupid. Does he think he's going to improve it now he's closed all the official threads or something. :rolleyes:

Well, seeing that he did it then yes it would seem he thinks it will improve it :-\

Well he's wrong.

Go create a shred discussion fred.

Artnold is advertising, and it seems that's all they're here for:

in agreement with repack,i think there should be more official threads.

no one can miss them if you sticky them and any threads made concerning the subjects can be told about the official threads than erased. also we can have a thread that shows all the official threads to anyone who is new....or this thread can merge that info in and also be the problem and rules thread.

the guitar forum is a mess and i don't understand just leaving it that way. everytime someone comes up with the idea you say it doesn't work...but what is going on right now doesn't work either.

all different types of threads can be made.

we could do a thread for new purchases or a thread just for music or videos. an essay thread about a guitar related subjects. we could bring the featured artist thread back...i really liked it. what about threads for different genres of guitar that people want to learn? and don't you say that is what the lessons forum is for,the lessons forum is dead. the idea for a common questions thread has come up several times...all i hear is it won't work. what harm will it do? the forum is already a pile of sh[SIZE="2"]i[/SIZE]t.

if you mods don't want to do it there are other people here who will. all you have to do is let them try and make it work. you don't have to do sh[SIZE="2"]i[/SIZE]t.so you will have to clean up a few messes...that is your job anyway isn't it?

you have good users here who want to make the forum better but if you keep turning them down at everyturn than eventually they will leave and you will be left with all the ****ty ones. than how much fun will the forum be?

Roy, one point I have to make in rebuttal is that I know I, as a casual user, have a tendency to skip over "sticky" thread titles, assuming that they involve posting rules and stuff like that that I already know. So other similarly casual users might do the same; which would only result in a bunch of bannings and tunings and whatnot for noobs who don't see the stickies.

thing is i could see if this was a new concept but it isn't. the stickied threads worked fine before. nothing went wrong with them. chad just erased them and than no one cared to put them back. jesus christ i have to agree with amit...it's seems everyone just wants to whore thier gear now. no one wants to try to make this a forum with some intelligence invovled.

it reminds me of when is wa in the medieval fantasy society in college. so many ideas were rejected cause no one wanted to do anything. in the end they just sat around talking about the same stuff over and over.

i agree with you roy... good statement.

but i don't think it has to be stickied... it will work normal too, but at least one stickied thread with all the links to the official ones.

[QUOTE=repcak;13512760] but at least one stickied thread with all the links to the official ones.[/QUOTE]

yeah i guess that works too :lol::thumb:

Alright, let's try it your guys' way. Think of two 'official' threads that you want to see, make them and I'll sticky them.

plz make this report suggestions and make problems

request denied

Official No Thread, less about rules more points where the answer or opinion would be "No."

OT this is brilliant

official "No/Practice" thread with a list of frequently asked questions all where the answer is unanimously 'no' or 'practice'

I wish there was some way to limit threads based on someone's available funds, asking them what kind of music they play, and basically giving them the same answers over and over again.

Its along the same lines of eliminating the redundant responses, just taken another step forward

yeah because that's possible too eh

Leave it to Krup.

[QUOTE=The Black Fist;13514340]yeah because that's possible too eh[/QUOTE]


Sure it would. You could easily compile a FAQs thread about price ranges, possbile 'sounds', and things of that nature.

Can You Sticky THe Lod and renaem this thread the report problems and questions thread???

those are my top two.

Here's a request...

how about limiting the spam in this thread?

[QUOTE=kurrpt2;13514478]Sure it would. You could easily compile a FAQs thread about price ranges, possbile 'sounds', and things of that nature.[/QUOTE]

Oh, so you mean you want a thread that lists all possible combinations of budget limits, goal sounds, extraneous circumstances and personal preferences among other things. I refer to this post;

[quote=Me]yeah because that's possible too eh[/quote]

Though I do agree with the post you just made about spam and am now cracking down on this

I figure saying it four times in one thread is enough warning to warrant immediate bans eh? Either make suggestions, talk about the discussion at hand or gtfo.

so that's a no then?


at any rate, it is easily conceivable that you could make an FAQ about amp choices. Sure, there would still be the occassional amp thread, but if you laid out the common choices, gave prices ranges from Used-New, and said what it does well, or list pros/cons, it's fairly obvious that it would cut back on some of these cookie cutter threads

Still, nubs wouldn't look at it, and that's where we get the majority of our amp threads

And even the people that know it's there will still make threads.

in which case the mod closes said thread, and posts a link to a specific thread

Yeah, but the [I]threads are still there.[/I]

The whole argument about any sort of 'OFFICILOL" thread is that nubs wouldn't use it. They'd either not notice it (because people are dumb like that), or they would read it but feel that they're special and that their situation doesn't apply.

moral of the story- nubs are dumb and think that they're special and unique.

edit; It takes about as much effort for me to close a thread and link to the existing thread as it takes for someone to just answer the question, and then we're not running a Nazi ship.

I think at the end of the day, we could do with an official announcement, that being that "The Black Fist (+ 3) Gets Even More Grim" and brings down the ban and close hammer with a bit more force. So in the end we have the look of a "No S[size=2]hit" policy instead of " A Bit Of Sh[/size]it" policy.

I respect any idea that involves TBF getting even more grim
