TBF, can you just open up all the threads in R&M that were closed so everyone can continue with normal forum life. I mean he closed the Metallica thread, now what? Start a new one and carry on the discussion? What's the point in doing that when we can use the same one. Plz.

i think they are just trying to keep the conversation in those threads on-track...


that, and to save band width, apparently

I don't go to R&M (ever), I don't know how the forum works, I don't know the mods there, and I don't know their motivation for closing the threads. I suggest taking this up in, say, R&M?

The less stickied threads and the less 'official' threads we have the better.

Well, i don't mind the occasional official thread, like the 7 string or the Blues threads, but they aint going to be stickied.

how about an official post your setups thread?

that was the only sticky i ever liked

how about a ban sticky?
TBF makes a thread, where in the first post he says: "any stupid noob who posts here will be inmediately perma-banned"

let's see how many guys post there

[QUOTE=mnemonic;13517091]how about an official post your setups thread?

i think this sohuld be brought back also.

they were good threads. but we should all brainstorm an idea for a good one, because none of the ideas really stuck.

i like hte idea behid mm's setups thread. organized. like the ones before it.

i just think that it died becuse once everyone posted all their gear in it, nobody had anything else to say. and new people have came, and people have got new amps since it was on the first page. i mean, according to that thread, used has a v3 and a stiletto, and he doesnt have either of those anymore.

we should put a thread where it shows what people were banned,why and how long. than no can complain that they don't understand why they were banned.

sputnik has that thread and it is working well.

Roy, isn't there a thread like that in like the "site" section or something.

i'll check to make sure...

nope they don't have one.

i dont really think its needed, seeing as it says what you did when you get b&

but even with that we still often have people who don't understand why they have been banned. i don't know why that is.

a thread like this would also close the door for complaints and charges of misabuse by giving a clear explanation.

yeah, i guess so.

one time when i got banned, it said "reason for ban: none"

[QUOTE=mnemonic;13522428]one time when i got banned, it said "reason for ban: none"[/QUOTE]

REASON is a HAL personality open to the public. You can speak to it by saying 'I want to talk to REASON'.

it should be a huge combo thread, like the first post is a huge setups list, then the second post is a huge video thread (of your own vids)

idk, just a suggestion

hey guys i got this great idea lets just make everyone post inside one huge, all inclusive thread so we don't have to deal with any more gear threads of any sort, audio/video uploads, questions about theory or how to play anything in general, and any and all recommendation threads

i think it will help clean up the guitar forum a lot what do you think



...

either your making fun of me or your not too keen on reading

i'm mocking any sort of idea pertaining to "official" or otherwise "all inclusive" threads

[QUOTE=big daddy roy;13522424]a thread like this would also close the door for complaints and charges of misabuse by giving a clear explanation.[/QUOTE]
No. Too much of a hassel to upkeep. Especially for like short temp bans.
The 'reason for ban' field is enough.

'Post your gear' and other 'official' threads are similar. Too hard to upkeep. And they all too often end up full of off topic conversation. And then it's difficult to justify closing them seeing how many users have a vested interest in it.

This is, as we say in the biz, a wicked awesome idea.

i get the general theme here...

nothing.

nothing will work,nothing is going to change,nothing is worth a little effort.

i'm starting to think everything people say about the guitar forum is true.

It's not that nothing works- it's that we've had a plethora of 'official' threads and such in the past and they don't do jack except give people a reason to get pissed off and tell people to gtfo to the official thread on the topic. Seriously, this is a forum, threads are meant to be created. I'd rather see this forum active with new topics, even if the content is repetitive, than see it stagnant with 5 stickied official threads.

i understand that,tbf. it's just when i first came here the guitar forum just seemed so much more better put together. than chad came and **** on it and now it just looks like the fallout from a bombing. i just think it can do more than just be a home for random threads.

anyway,i'm liking the idea of turning it all into one huge and crazy thread.

chad did that to the politics and world issues forum...i have to say it was pretty funny :lol:

i meant [I]mean[/I]...it was really mean :rolleyes:

As I've said, if you guys want to organize it and figure out what you want then I'll press the 'sticky' button, but this is mostly a forewarning that nothing good will really come of it. Hey, unless it does and then I'll eat my hat.

Just for the love of god no '******OFFICIAL****** [lolz asterisks make it official] SWEPING THRED LOLOLOL' k

lol Roy it isn't as bad here as you make it sound. I just think it would be more fun if there were more people posting, instead of the same people every day. I think our high postcounts have intimidated noobs from posting because we get like one new member per few months it seems. So it's just always the same stuff everyday.

actually one has already started...or rather restarted.

so far it seems to be going good with no spam at all.

thanx to purple hazer for it's resurrection.

yeah your right about that.

Are you laughing at me or with me?


:upset:

laughing with you...cause basically your right.

can someone please close the distorted guitars are whatever blah blah thread and ban the threadstarter please.

i consider it spam to come into a forum just to insight angry reactions.

at least amit has intelligence and can back up his claims.

this other guy is just a bored loser.

jeremy should really make it so some users can be banned from specific forums (banned from like say the guitar forum but allowed to post in other places) that way assholes like this can be kept out and they can end up as some elses problem. i don't know if this guy is like this in the other forums but whenever he is here he does nothing but cause problems.

I'll be a happy man on the day that i see threads like that getting 0 views and 0 replies.

But that's more so up to the users to ignore them. Not the mods to close and ban on sight.

i see what your saying.

it's just hard not to reply when your [I]really [/I]annoyed. :lol:

or a tad obsessive compulsive.

damn, i hate it

i've been a mild obsessive compulsive for years now.

i say mild cause i clean a lot but i can still have clutter around or awhile without it bothering me.

i find it sort of annoying when playing guitar. i like to have good tone, but most of the time, i can't stand playing unless i like how it sounds, and i'll spend all my time tweaking knobs rather than practicing.

i don't at home but i do that when i am at a guitar store...

but we should stop spamming in here before we get b& :lol:

is the the place to come when you want a thread closed?
