W. Axl Kev Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 HeyBeing that it is clear Axl and the boys will be back sooner rather than later I suggest a new forum policy. In essence - No bashing of the new members. Despite Axl saying 5 years ago that he was not going on the internet, he clearly will. New members will be checking out the forum to get fan feedback, if they are seeing themselves being ridiculed etc. it will bring down their confidence and the last thing we want at this point is a member leaving over pressure. So I say we forbid bashing of new members with consequences. We want to support this new era of Guns N' Roses. Any thoughts?W.

Guest Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 not a fan of luiz eh??shame Who the hell is luiz?The "please come to mexico" thread. Check in upcoming concerts. For me, that thread lost its humour after one read.I think that the mods have already shown their feelings on this idea when they requested kaneda and a few others not to post their thoughts in discussion and news anymore. I think overtime the mods may become even stricter on this and any Guns N' Roses member bashing will not be prohibited. I don't get why people come and slag off the band they "apparently" love anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nameless_girl Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 As much as I occasionally get annoyed by some members making fun of each other (I say "occasionally" because lots of times it's just playful and nothing serious is meant by it), I'd never even attempt to deny them their right to do so - freedom of speech and all. Even more so because I know that prohibiting things in this way never stops where it had been intended to.And all these restrictions to what kind of an opinion a member may or may not post (as in the case of "controversial" viewpoints of certain members) wouldn't be in the spirit of GN'R, now would it?

You are allowed to show your points of course , but in a healthy and smart way .....im sure people can find comments more valid and interesting than "axl can go fuck himself " sthat kind of stuff we read here lots of times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstar_legend Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I for one am gladthat constructive critisiscm is allowed.It allows for a more healthy, vibrant discussion.If we had to agree on everything,there'd be little to discuss.Rock on.

AxlisOld Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Kev....having so little confidence in the release of the album, asaying that you'll eat your hat? Yeah....might be considered Axl bashing. Shot yourself in the foot didnt you....SNAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Kev....having so little confidence in the release of the album, asaying that you'll eat your hat? Yeah....might be considered Axl bashing. Shot yourself in the foot didnt you....SNAP!I don't think so. He had little confidence in Chinese Democracy but he put his points across in a sensible and intelligent manner. I don't think it is Axl bashing at all. Can you blame someone for having little faith in an album after this long? No. The issue at point here is fans that just come onto the messageboard and just complain about the band members ability and style. I am tired of seeing all these "Finck is a goth!" threads. Who cares? All that matters is that he can play some kickass music. Discussion and News is for members who support the new band. Kev supports the new band, he would love to see Chinese Democracy come out but he had little faith in it. So a Guns basher I think not. If you're not a supporter of the new band then you shouldn't go and post in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
off_the_track Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 As a newbie (to this forum) I think that a 'no newbie bashing' rule would be cool - might mean that I would've posted more than ten posts in four months of membership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 As a newbie (to this forum) I think that a 'no newbie bashing' rule would be cool - might mean that I would've posted more than ten posts in four months of membership There is already a rule in effect,1) Be polite and respect other members and point of views, harassment will not toleratedI think 'newbie' bashing is very pointless since we've all posted an old topic, discussed old issues from time to time. All this bashing is doing is putting off people like yourself from posting more often. Treat others as you would wish to be treated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
