Title: Chinese Democracy Banned Post by: Teapot on October 23, 2006, 04:53:34 PM I'm a journalist and Jarmo is what we call in the business a "flack" or a "pr man." He is basically a hired geek for Gn'R management who does their bidding to get some sugar at the end. It's his choice so what the hell. I've been checking this site out for years but now I only rarely check it. The whole idea of not allowing people to talk about a fucking magazine article is the worst and most infantile form of censorship. And the fact that he goes along with the request proves that he is more interested in keeping his lips firmly wrapped around his GNR sugar daddy then looking out for the interest of the board members.
And so now I will be told to fuck off and go to another board and blah, blah, blah because the majority of people on this site are sheep. And that's pretty ironic that a band that was originally based on pure fucking rebellion and giving the finger to the establishment now has a guy running a site who won't allow people to discuss topics freely. I don't give a fuck what his reasons are (and yeah I know I can go elsewhere) but the idea that he is OK with this and that so many people on this site are OK with this is is pathetic. Everybody should go to chinesedemocracy.com where people are allowed to talk about anything that strikes their mind. And in the spirit of what GNR was originally based on, tell that knee-draggin' pigfucker Jarmo to take his locked topics and shove them right up his tight ass. I was going to post this in another topic about us being censored but surpirse surprise, it was locked. Title: Re: Chinese Democracy Banned Post by: Lucky on October 23, 2006, 04:55:52 PM :drool:

Tell me, how can you discuss the song 'sorry' with a vague discription??? you can't, the threads about it will only lead to nonsense discussions... etc The cencership is only for a few days, at least, thats what I think. Title: Re: Chinese Democracy Banned Post by: Rockdawg on October 23, 2006, 04:57:43 PM It ain't right. Does he come to your house and talk trash about you?
So do not come to his house and do that. Be respectful. : ok: Title: Re: Chinese Democracy Banned Post by: Voodoochild on October 23, 2006, 04:58:58 PM Oh, I'm a journalist too.

I don't think you can understand that because, well, all you did was crying like a baby and dissing the guy - now THAT's pathetic.
Also, if you like so much cd.com, where you can diss anyone without being censored, have fun there! : ok: Title: Re: Chinese Democracy Banned Post by: polluxlm on October 23, 2006, 05:00:48 PM Ctrl + V, Post

Anyway, thanks to Jarmo's site here, I've been able to see GNR four times this year. Not only that, but-- even though he acknowledges and acts on some of GNR's requests-- I haven't missed out on any news because there are oh, four other boards to check every so often. And if you check here as often as you used to, then you probably saw the news here, too. So what's the problem?

Anywho, this guy at least has posted observations in a more acceptable manner than some of the past, i.e. the "LOL THIS SUX" stuff. But it's still pretty lame.

Title: Re: Chinese Democracy Banned Post by: GunsN'Gravy on October 23, 2006, 05:03:25 PM I think Jarmo's just doing as He's told, I would like to know why He has to do it and I'd like to know why some fan son this board are so bitchy and whiney. They think they are important because they have 70000000 posts? I can get 70000000 posts if all I do is write, "You're pathetic ::)". Save time and give 75% of this board only the ?::) smiley.

Title: Re: Chinese Democracy Banned Post by: xxrosesxx on October 23, 2006, 05:10:21 PM Teapot, i get your point. I am an admin in a major board of another band and i get the same comments as well. Sometimes it's too hard to risk the privileges and trust you GAIN with your work, the respect from the band you have been promoted for years, just so you can satisfy a douzen people who think that learning some info 2-3 days prior to an official release is a major event.
I do get your point though. People like admins look like big posers and ass kissers simply because they have to act strict and protect their own "creation" and sometimes respect the band they promote. Title: Re: Chinese Democracy Banned Post by: Guns N RockMusic on October 23, 2006, 05:11:41 PM Everyone who comes here makes a choice to abide by jarmo's rules. ?If they don't like it, they are free to leave and no one will give a rat's ass. ?Quit bitching about the only good GN'R site on the net. ?Goto cd.com or mygnr and have fun dealing with all the dipshits talk about Axl's hair or 20k different rumors and supposed insiders. ?The majority of us don't appreicate your comments.

I understand the censoring of threads with link to leaked songs if they are downloadable but removing a thread with a link to a radio show that plays the leaked songs I do not, I know, I know, technology is so advanced these days that there are means to record the stream but still. Also I don't know for sure but I don't think Sanctuary pays for the server and stuff of other GNR sites, I don't even know if they do it anymore for this site, probably.

But you have to understand - if Merck personally asked Jarmo not to let anyone discuss it - regardless of WHY - and Jarmo did not do as Merck asked him, then Merck would not trust Jarmo anymore and would probably cut ties. Right now HTGTH is the closest we have to an "official" forum and at least from what I've gathered from other sources, Jarmo is given information before many other people and he also knew a lot about the leaks when they happened that no one else knew. (Maybe this isn't correct, but a person with ties to the band told me Jarmo is closer to management than any other forum moderator and knew about this stuff because of Merck.) So if he doesn't listen to Merck, he's ruining chances for all of us in the future of getting news and updates and special deals like the "presales" and stuff. It's not Jarmo's fault, it's Merck's fault. But I assume there IS a reason for this - we've just got to have patience.

That wasn't why I was banned. : ok: I unregistered there last year because of personal reasons. I had been in pretty good standing, I had received a warning or two but nothing major. I was there over a year. Then I left for a few months, because there were personal things going on in my private life and I felt I was spending too much time online and I didn't want my real name as my username anymore. Then I came back for RIR5 and the mods didn't know it was me. I posted something negative about Finck after RIR5 which was a bit too mean-spirited (even though I was also praising other aspects of the show) and when they read my post they figured I was trying to upset fans and banned me. They told me after the ban that if they had known who I was, they would not have banned me. However, once a ban happens, it's permanent.

I don't give a flying fuck. As Jarmo said, it's called RESPECT. Not ass kissing... You can call us all kinds of names. In the end of the day you will be the loser... This forum has survived all kinds of shit. Trust me, we can survive a few doubters... You can leave now and never come back. I mean, after all, it's just a fuckin button, press the damn thing... And that goes for ALL you punks in the press... You know the rest... Uh, why are you quoting me in a manner in which it would imply I was "dissing" the forum? That's exactly what my point was - it's a matter of respect. If Merck asked you guys not to let people on the forum discuss this topic, it's not a matter of "being a pussy" - it's a matter of respecting his wishes and doing as he asks. I didn't quote you like that. I just used you and then I dumped you. :P Title: Re: Chinese Democracy Banned Post by: HamsterDemocracy on October 23, 2006, 06:52:58 PM Blame Merck, not Jarmo/mods.

You didn't even leave me anything on the dresser on your way out. :'( Title: Re: Chinese Democracy Banned Post by: Christos AG on October 23, 2006, 06:54:52 PM Blame Merck, not Jarmo/mods.

If he hadn't, no one would have cared. That is not completely true actually. I was the only mod online the day the first link to a leak appeared, and it was my own choice to delete it because I felt it wasn't right to spread future official material through this board. This went on for a while and, if I remember correctly, it was only after a few days that we were specifically told not to let the links spread. Even if we had received no instructions, I'm pretty sure we would have carried on the same way, simply out of respect for the band. Title: Re: Chinese Democracy Banned Post by: NicoRourke on October 24, 2006, 05:44:41 AM All of you big whinners, know-it-all etc, why don't you go for good.
Like someone said it's fuckin' easy, you just go to your profile and click this fucking link : (http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4967/deleteprofileuj1.png) We'll be better off without you anyway ... I think there's a power up in the sky testing me, trying to tempt me to use bad words or insults so I'd get negative karma points ... But I won't sink to your level. Don't you have something better to do ? If HTGTH is such a bad place, then why do you still bother posting ? |
