Flaming and deleting posts

Post by bclaire » Fri Jan 26, 2018 8:23 am

I'm up early and trying to get ready for my flight. I was disappointed to see how much flaming was going on in the "Hugely disappointed..." thread. Started cleaning it up and removing flame posts when I realised it was pretty flame-y right from the start and I don't have time to be selective when I have to be out the door in 20 minutes.

From the sticky:
Treat everyone on here with respect no matter how hard that may be.
Flaming will not be tolerated.

See you in Anaheim!

Not any worse than any comment section on a guitar-related YouTube clip.

In other words, it was a colossal sh!t show! :P

Edit: Hope you’re having fun at NAMM, Billy!

It’s generally pretty chill. I’ve been hanging around here for like 8 years and can count the amount of flame wars we’ve had on one hand.

Billy runs a pretty tight ship. :P

Well, in the end I got out the door at least a half hour later than I planned. Fortunately, I have the global entry card so quicker through TSA.

Now I'm on the plane (free wifi - who knew) and browsing the forum. I land 10:30 a.m. California time....

Unfortunately many legit non-flamey comments/questions such as mine went away along with it.

Sorry I started that thread that got out of hand but some people need to relax a bit and not be so sensitive when others express a negative feeling towards products a certain company is putting out, or in this case, NOT putting out. Thats what real consumers do, voice their opinions, and its not always praise. You dont have to love everything a company releases and should have a right to express your dissatisfaction towards certain products.
