why so many of my posts get deleted?

The management of any website reserve the right to have the website content represent the views they wish.   This is one site where people who always see the glass as half empty don't stay long, and it works well.

no, i dont think it works well, of course Jarmo could say its his website so he can do whatever he wants, but i dont think thats the case. i complain because the posts i made are not just to argue, i write to participate and give my opinion, when it was one or two i said "well, maybe it upset someone or something" but a lot of posts get deleted,and i mean the posts that are writen to participate not just to start fights.

if a moderator does not like the post he should not deleted it, it should be deleted if its against the rules of the forum, we are not here to please the moderators, we are here to talk about GNR.

and i started the topic not to fight against the moderators, just to clarify a point, where i think they are been to drastic , and are hurting the site. 

theres quite a few other GnR sites that thrive upon negativity.    HTGTH isn't the only option you have to talk about GnR.

How is being honest being negative??


There is a difference being negative for negative sake and for posting an honest heartfelt opinion on something.

You have to understand, to Jim Bob, negativity is a person not having the same opinion of GnR as he does. Jim Bob, the guy who pretends that GnR was founded in 2001. Notice that Jim Bob posts on every thread where the 'old' band is mentioned? It is because he hates the fact that the old line up released 5 albums and changed the world, and the new one released 1 album (albeit a pretty kick ass album) and cannot even promote that one album properly. I am sorry, but it is not negative to wonder who the hell is actually in GnR, it is not negative to wonder why there is no promo going on right now. But, when you run your message board like the Axl Rose Gestapo, things get crazy very quickly... What, did Axl threaten to remove Jarmo's name from the thank you list on CD if he let people engage in free discussion?

Jealousy is such an ugly thing.  It's like a cancer.  It'll eat you up.

Oh, fuck off.

Only joking.

Jim is my favorite mod in the whole wide interweb universe!

Ass kissing is also an ugly thing. Between you and Jim Bob, there is plenty of ass kissing to go around!

[norway]

I just wanna know where my snowblower wen't, haven't gotten mine yet. Hope you read this Axl!

[SLCPUNK]

Ouch...

[TomFriend]

I have a severe case of the disappearing posts too, understandably today because I dared to suggest that some fans were disappointed that Axl hasn't done any promotion for the album release.

Let me take this opportunity to apologize if that jolt of insanity shocked any of the board's more sensitive readers.

Well if your honest opinion is always based on your negative outlook on the band....

"This sucks, that sucks, I hate this, I hate that".

A honest opinion?


Sure, it can be. But it's also just pointless negative whining.


I'm not surprised to see so many of you choosing to focus on the whining aspect.

It's what you do. You find things that you're not content with and focus on them.


It's the same fucking thing over and over with some of you.

They don't tour, it sucks. They tour, it sucks too because they don't cater to YOUR needs.

They don't have a song out, they put one out and it's the "wrong" one.

There's no album, the album comes out and you enjoy it for a minute before starting to find shit that you don't like.

I don't think I have made a negative post here concerning Chinese Democracy. If I have, I am sure the positive ones are 50-1.

Whoever heard of a fan not being allowed to have an opinion?

I don't think CD was a great choice for the first single.  Is that being negative? no it isn't being negative. It isn't saying that CD isn't a great song, it just wasn't a good first single due to the long intro etc.

I don't see how that is being negative when the numbers don't lie.

Same with the other stuff. It isn't being negative saying that the promotion has been less than spectacular. That is just being honest. No one can sit here and say that this album has been promoted the way it should have been.

once again, that isn't being negative at all. It doesn't take away my love of the band or the album, it is just keeping things real and honest.  Now u have CD's sales going to shit, when it should've been one of the highest selling albums of the year. U have slews of people now spreading crazy rumors and now with all sorts of negative firepower.

Saying I prefer "Sorry" or "This I Love" as a single over something else isn't being negative either. It is just giving an opinion which is what the whole basis of message forums was founded on.

When CD came out, nobody was negative. it was amazing all the positivity and just over the top mayhem of excitement. Why has that changed I wonder?

[jarmo]

What I'm saying it, and it went over your head I guess, is that some people FOCUS on the negative.


I'm not saying you can't have an opinion or offer constructive criticism, but when you start focusing on the negatives, something's not right.


This isn't 2005.

To Clarify though, U are talking about people in general right and not me?

Cause I honestly don't think I've been negative. A tad overzealous maybe, but not negative.

/jarmo

exactly, the question of the post was, why so many posts that are giving an opinion or offering constructive criticism,are just deleted?

i can say that i havent post a negative thing about the new band (and im not saying that the ones posting negative stuff should get their post deleted). thats why its so wierd, it seems they just delete posts with out reason.

Considering your personal text and signature, I don't think anybody is surprised to see you trolling this thread.



Oh, and to answer all of you wondering why your posts get removed. If we have a topic about something good, and then you post "well, this sucks". Chances are it'll be gone.

It's quite simple.

I'm aware that everything sucks for some of you, but that doesn't mean I will let you ruin every other thread into some kind of bitch fest because you want it to become just that.

There's a few of you who don't seem to like GN'R that much and then complain about us removing your posts.

Maybe if your posts weren't constant whining, bullshit lies or trying to bring everybody else down, they'd stay up.
