Peter Shneck Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hi all,I just wanted to say that so far the new admin/mods have been doing an awesome job. It's starting to feel like a real forum again, where people can voice opinions and do not secretly disappear. Keep up the great work guys, if this continues I'm sure a lot more people (including myself) will be open to donating $ to help u guys out with expenses.Cheers!

Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I completely agree. I hope it continues this way. The forum have been more exciting these two weeks or whatever it's been than it's been for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Agreed 100%! All the mods have been great since the takeover and even a couple that I was unsure about have surprised me by being balanced, fair and (sometimes overly) reasonable. It's made such a difference to the atmosphere and activity on the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made such a difference to the atmosphere and activity on the forum!Completely agreed. At the same time, many of the people that were trolling just to annoy the mods have been much cooler since and are posting normal. So I think it's a win-win situation.

SoulMonster Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The new admins and mods seem fair and diplomatic . But I am eager to see how they will react to the blatant trolling that's been going on lately when the new rules and guidelines are up, and although I agree that the activity has increased (not that that is necessarily positive) I also feel the atmosphere has been negatively affected with all the new cupcakes who have come here and the constant fighting which has just increased.

Dazey Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The thing is that I think a lot of the pro Axl lobby see any criticism as trolling. The balance has shifted in a good way IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The balance has shifted in a good way IMO.I think the problem is they hide behind this "cupcake" label. Essentially anybody who gives a differing opinion becomes a "cupcake" and is to be silenced immediately. Well previously anyway.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Well MSL for one? Maybe not so much seeing it as trolling but spending ten pages of pointless arguments over the most pedantic shit imaginable maybe?

Cosmo Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Well MSL for one? Maybe not so much seeing it as trolling but spending ten pages of pointless arguments over the most pedantic shit imaginable maybe?I agree about MSL but apart from 3 or 4 other members, I don't really think anyone on the Axl camp is here for the trolling.. There are a few on the Slash camp that also fit into that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few on the Slash camp that also fit into that category.I think some of the moderate fans look worse than they are in responding to some of the few extremists. I thought Damn Smooth was a fucking cock with some of his Slash bashing until I spoke to the guy. Then I realised that just like me, a lot of what he said was simply retaliating against the blatant cupcakes. Love you now DS!

Actually I would say he's trolling in that case. Arguing for three pages over whether Axl was to blame for the Reading clusterfuck is just ridiculous to anybody with even a slight knowledge of history or the situation.Edit: How about iftheworld?

You will see my criticism of Axl pretty soon. Especially if they don't focus on a new record after the ongoing tour. Perhaps iftheworld and perhaps volcano, and perhaps some members who are not here anymore. I just don't believe there is a huge lobby of fanatical Axl supporters who can't stand criticism.
