Montrealer Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hey all, I just deleted the thread where a possible leaks was posted. At this point, it's not confirmed as legit. This was not a request by GN'R or anyone from GN'R camp.We had problems in the past when leaks were posted on this board and we don't want to have that kind of problem again.Anyone posting a link to a leaks, real of fake will be automatically suspended for 7 days.Thank you for your cooperation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Holy cow. Delete a 50+ page thread instead of just locking it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realpoti Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Whatever. It's already in a thousand PCs right now. The damage control should be done earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Can we at least discuss it? I mean there is no harm in talking about it, there is nothing else really going on right now. I was liking the extra life it breathed into the forum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill Devil Hill Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I think the only logical conclusion that CAN be drawn from such an irrational decision is involvement from an outside source. Smooth work, mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60NER Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) What type of problems? Can you please elaborate?I find it interesting that we are prevented from listening to or discussing 'leaked material' in an open forum. This is essentially censorship and this material is something most people here are clearly very interested in.edit: also automatic suspension of accounts for posting leaks is appalling. Very disappointed in this forum. Edited May 8, 2012 by 60NER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Broue Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I disagree with your decision. A lock would be better... or delete the links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deja_vu Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 The "leak" is out there and not too hard to find if you want to hear it so don't see what the big deal is with the mods taking it downWould you rather see the board go down again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a newborn so I can't be online much lately. Didn't had time to discuss with Eric about this until now.Listen, you guys can think what you want to but we all remember that legal letter to Eric while he was on vacations.If you want to deal with that kind of thing, open your own forum.

I personally don't put any stock into post counts but many people do. I've been a GN'R fan since 1987 and I help run another board where I've got a huge post count, yet here people tend to reply to me as if they're talking down to me because post counts mean a lot to them. So hanging out on a board where post counts seem to matter to the user base becomes less appealing when 50+ page threads with several of your posts are deleted instead of locked.

Just don't post to leaks, fakes or real ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naupis Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Folks, this is being done to keep traffic down so the board doesn't go offline again. Leaks spur traffic, and on this board increased traffic leads to downtime when you have a board owner who can't afford it but won't sell it to someone who can.Like everything else having to do with GNR it is ass backwards. I guess it is fitting the message forum shouldn't be any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen forums killed for less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any posts made in that thread still count. The number under your avatar is how many posts you've made in total, whereas the number on your profile page indicates active posts. The active posts will lower as the thread gets deleted, but your total under your avatar/username will remain the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
