The new mods have only been on the job for a few days. We’re trying to bring back some actual constructive discussions around here. But honestly, what exactly do you mean by "recently"?
hollowmason64 said:Honestly, I’ve laughed my eyes out at some of these comments. Like, actual tears. You’d think they'd give us a little more "artistic" freedom around here, you know? Just a thought. 👍
Don't sweat it, I'm not wiping out the whole off-topic section. Most of the best jokes and absolute nonsense are staying right where they are.
hollowmason64 said:Look, @Delveccio, what kind of "constructive feedback" am I even supposed to give when some guy just rolls up and starts a thread complaining about how much his life sucks? The only thing you can even bother writing to that piece of trash is on a tree stump or a tombstone. 😂
look, here's the deal—don't even bother typing anything. just sit tight and wait for me to go in and delete those brain-dead posts myself. 😲😲😲
So you’re basically doing me a solid and saving me the headache. Instead of me having to go in there and scrub, moderate, and filter through fifty different posts just to deal with one guy, I only have to deal with his single mess. Makes things way easier. 😲😲😲
p.s. don't sweat those rich trolls. we can shut them down in two moves.
I bet you’d be pretty shocked if you realized how many people have actually smart things to say but just don't bother posting them because of you and your crowd. You guys turned this whole thread into nothing but a playground for mindless trolling. It’s all those people who drop one or two constructive posts, see them get drowned out by a sea of low-effort nonsense, and just decide to walk away. Now, this thread is finally heading back toward actual substance—you know, the kind of people who might joke around, but their humor is actually clever and high-quality, unlike the idiots who only care about being annoying. If you want your little "playground," go take it to the chat topic or some other off-topic garbage thread.
You honestly have no idea how exhausting it is for the vast majority of people to wade through what you call "good banter." And newsflash: the moderators aren't here to entertain you; they're here to moderate.
Honestly, I’m glad I finally started this thread. Music is still dominated by those ego-driven, mentally unstable narcissists 👋 . I’d bet my life savings that the same haters tributing bands from this list would turn around and trash them the second they stop doing covers and try making their own stuff—claiming they sound just like Gang of Four (or whatever other band they're obsessed with).
The same old cowards are still hanging around here, too stuck in their ways to move an inch. Shout out to the few exceptions, though; you know who you are. 🙂

It’s not about acting smart. It’s just about things actually making sense. Look at it from the perspective of someone who hasn't been on this board in a while or is just joining. They want to read up on the armada, right? So they open a thread, but then the last three pages are just people arguing about Gademz, or they open a thread and the last few pages are just some random nonsense about buying up cities in the Midwest. Hell, argue all you want—nobody's coming after you for a little off-topic chatter—but we should probably stick to the actual subject of the thread. That's what the mods are there for anyway, just to nudge you when you get carried away.😁 That's just how a forum works. Otherwise, we might as well just have one giant thread and call it a day.
You’re banned from the thread because you keep calling people "Bilic fanboys" and "idiots," you offer zero actual arguments, you dodge every single question asked of you, and you're out here trolling five different topics at once with the exact same posts. And look, it’s not even the first time—this is like the 20th time you've pulled this stunt. Besides, seven pages of pure nonsense and God knows how many bans should tell you everything you need to know about your posting style on this board.
If you had actually bothered to read a single one of my posts, you'd realize I'm also all for Bilić stepping down. It's just that I don't feel the need to insult everyone who disagrees with me.
