I'm a member of SS.org, I don't play djent (I even quit my metal band in favour of session work), and although there are definately some simple-minded teenagers there, I think for the most part the people are really cool. The knowledgeable people are usually helpful, and the less knowledgeable tend to be pretty humble about it. Of course there are exceptions, there always are. But that's my impression, and I hang on that site very often and many of those members have become good friends of mine, some even pulling some sweet favours for me.
guitarguru777: You weren't banned for discussing gear or having a differing opinion than the majority. I do that all the time and I've never had so much as a warning on that site. It's easy to get along with people if you're nice, you know
What you did was, in response to a friendly joke, immediately called a long-time, well-respected member a fucking idiot and in the same post randomly started totally thrashing the Axe-Fx (or AxeFartX as you maturely liked to call it) which wasn't even really a part of the discussion until you brought it up, aswell as insulting everyone on the forum saying we were all fanboys and so on which obviously pissed people off too cause it's a generalization and it's simply not true. The rest of your posts were replaced by spam by you shortly after so I can't cite them (which must have been quite the effort, I must say, you've got ambition), all I can read now is people being shocked by your unprovoked reactions and saying you'll probably get banned. And they were right of course, people have been banned for much less on that site.
Just saying. Here's the thread, btw:

Btw, a thread like this (just thrashing something and being a general 11-year old), would probably get one banned over there too.
