People need to get a life.
hahahhahahaha are you fucking kidding me? An SS board regular pops over here just to tell people they need to get a life in a thread where we're bashing his 'home turf?'
People need to get a life.
I can't imagine a worse set of mods than what they used to have, though - Chris was a whiney little power-hungry bitch, and Noodles was a batshit crazy, ultra-entitled sociopathic bald ass fucking midget. Guys like Shannon and Donny were alright, aside from the fact that they never called their fellow admins out on their bullshit and let the kind of shit happen that did.
More importantly (back to the OP), it's an internet forum. If you can turn right around and talk shit about it so readily, then it's probably not important enough to you to be worth stirring up shit on other forums.
Its nothing but a bunch of Petrucci / Broderick / Loomis fan bois who cant afford real gear
It's bad enough that more than half the forum members there nowadays are 14-16 year old kids constantly talking talking about djent and pretending to be jazz fusion elitists with their heads shoved up their asses
This is why the mods have become so heavy handed. After Chris sold the site, it went to shit for awhile, but the quality of posts/posters has been getting better.
I have seen a couple instances where people have been banned for stuff I would have just deleted and let it go, but I'm not a mod. People are allowed to express themselves, but the ones who do it in a dickish way are dealt with. When people say "I was banned for expressing my opinion!" it's not really accurate. I say a lot of shit people don't generally agree with, but I'm still around.
I didn't see what got you banned so I don't know if it applies to you or not.
I signed up here just to let you know that I don't remember you, but you hurt my feelings. You're right about Noodles though. He is bald as hell, and can't hold his liquor.
I took that whole terrible mod team with me to MG, where you are more than welcome to sign up and flirt with Shannon and Donnie.
I've seen plenty of cases where "I was banned for expressing my opinion!" was dead on accurate. I'll sum it up for you. Randy bans some guy for making a comment just SLIGHTLY negative about a band. He posts "fuck the haters" because he personally likes said band. Then he bans me for asking why said guy was banned over something so trivial.
If that guy's same comment was in a thread about a different band it would have gone completely ignored. Mods allowing their personal opinions on music to affect who they ban is seriously stupid. I get that they don't want people to act like dicks, but some of the mods themselves act like total dicks constantly, but apparently nobody is allowed to call them on their bullshit. The nerd rage is ridiculous.
It wasn't because he expressed his opinion, it's a form of trolling to go into a thread about a genre and say "This sucks",
and the questioning the mods thing has always been a rule at ss, even in Chris's day. I've seen people being banned over genre trolling in stuff other than After the Breakdown (which I assume is the thread), so it's not just personal opinion. It's been stated lots of times not to do that.
I guarantee that I could make a thread about black metal, someone would go into it and shit talk it, and they'd be banned even though it's probably the least liked genre on the board. Heavy handed? Sure, but not unprecedented.
That place is full of idiot cunts. I remember the "what does tight mean" argument Jeff had that made me scratch my head at the stupidity.
Shit, I think it was Markus. Damn it. Something about why boosts are used and blah blah blah. Doesn't negate the fact that literally 95% of that place is idiots.
Most of the people banned from SS are banned for fair reasons. There are only a few active mods over there, and there is far too much work for them to do for them to be able to get anything done without swinging the ban hammer around a bit. I'm not saying this as a SS forumite who is "defending his home turf" or anything like that, as I tend to be here or on other sites a lot more often these days, but I was there enough to understand why the mods are running things the way they are.
Guru, why do you hate JJ so much? You were bitching about this/him on the Nevermore forum, too. He wasn't doing anything but calling you on your trolling, which is why you got banned. Then again, that's why you hate most of the people on the Nevermore forum, too, isn't it? I think you're just upset that he refused your sexual advances because you're too old.
