No trolling allowed AT ALL, just good honest genuine fans questions?Thoughts please Of course, but could you please elaborate the "trolling"? What counts trollng? Really honest question maybe turned out trolling for the management/Axl/band membersIf the definition of trolling is the same like jarmo thinks, thanks, but no thanksAnyway it would be cool if this happenedHonestly, that shouldn't need explaining! No offense.okLet me ask a question thenThe band members/Axl/Tb are willing to do this?have you got any messages from them?I'm only asking this because the recent Fernando "incident" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience 4 Axl Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Great idea. I just think that they might not want to undermine Jarmo by posting here when they already have a forum they could post on with it being moderated they way the want it to? No harm in asking. Axl came here first for his chats, not HTGTH. They can come here and talk to us, while /jarmo can go on tour with them. I think it's a pretty even exchange. I agree, but Fernando posted what he said this morning, largely about this forum, on HTGTH. Right. He was "talking" about us behind our backs. It's a very mature approach. I'd take Axl coming here to chat, before Fernando going there to bitch. But I digress....He spelled out the problem with this place. (I assume it was this forum, I don't think it was mentioned by name). Ok, so here's a suggestion, now the ball is in their court. Unless of course they would rather keep bitching about us.

rhiad85 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) UK yes of course I think this would definitely improve the morale of the fans, and I know you've made this topic for polling purposes but the issue at hand is not how people here feel about it but how the band members/management would respond..As I suggested in another thread, perhaps you could make one or two new accounts titled as 'gnrofficial' or 'team brazil' or 'bumblefootGNR' etc with moderator access but disabling visibility of the rest of the postboard so their attention isn't diverted.. set them up with these accounts and passwords, and maybe to show how serious you are, give them a opportunity to bypass the main forum with their own link like mygnrforum.com/gnrofficial which redirects to the forum login page..Thanks for your initiative all the same..

Bobbo Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Don't get me wrong, it's a good idea on paper. But with all due respect, it's kinda pathetic that we pretty much have to wipe their asses with baby wipes for them to even consider posting here.And what exactly is THEIR definition of "trolling", and how far away is it from our definition? Is saying "what exactly is the hold up?" negative and destructive in their apparently distorted eyes? Do we even know where to draw a line that would be satisfactory to them? Is it even possible?Just my two pennies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.wa.T Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Whatever has to be done to do it I'm all for it. If possible. Maybe we can get him and Marc to make amends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicrawker Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) I think it would be great if they agreed to participate but based on interviews by any band member or associate not named Axl do you really expect them to be allowed to tell us anything of substance? I sure don't but what the hell it is worth a shot....And concerning Marc, How can anyone give him a hard time considering what he contributes...........he has been more then open with us when asked reasonable questions even though he knows some of his answers will piss Axl off. You have to respect the man putting himself out there, being honest, and not playing favorites...........
