Wrongly Done Moderation - Music Star Draft Of Passed Musicians - Buddy Holly RIP (1 Viewer)

[rockaction]

Shutting down the rock star draft was wrongly done moderation. I pay for the bandwidth here, and that was just a bad decision. No longer.  @Joe Bryant, those people in the draft were more than respectful, and trying to make the best out of a bad and mortal situation. I don't care if I get banned, this was poor judgment.

You pay for the bandwidth here? How much is your subscription?

 

[rockaction]

Enough to respect Joe and David and their bandwidth. I don't use the service of FF for the most part.

I defray?  It's their business model. You pay for the bandwidth to use. 

How you doin', Capella?

Gotta link to the subscription page for the forums? At this point, I probably owe several years of back pay

Speaking as someone who wasn't participating in that awful, amoral draft, I know that I feel safer knowing its closed.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves

I thought it was an honorable thing rather than a shameful one.  

 

[rockaction]

rock star draft seems like an weird hill to die on

Seems like a lot of effort and respect for the players involved not to say something.

That should just be an auto ban for that comment.

You're not wrong, just seems like bringing up money is a bit much

Ah, okay. I got it now. I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but I guess it is. 

My bad. 

 

[Drunken Poster]

I love happy endings

Not going to name names but....

I am actually surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Then that says something, Poseidon. I spend a lot of time here. Need to rethink that.  

 

[rockaction]

We were honoring people in that thread. 

Dilla especially. This wasn't no dead pool crap; this was love.

You should. Take RoknRole with you. 

 

[RokNRole]

You should. Take RoknRole with you. 

I don't think twice about anything. You should know this.

 

[rockaction]

Fair enough.

But your porn pigeon/coke stuff is kinda old, don't you think? 

eta* Always thought you were okay, but comments like the ones you've been making make me wonder...

Why would some doodle head shut down the music draft?  The moderators here are nuts.

Joe shut it down. It's been a rough day for everybody -- perhaps a nerve was touched by last night's events. It's a shame, really; I felt like we were honoring those that had passed rather than joking about it.

I thought it was because of my posting of a reference to a Monty Python scene related to a post about one of yours. I have sent Joe a note apologizing. I would have appreciated warnings, but if it was me I’ll take one for the team.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I doubt it was you.  It sounds more like people who keep their carrots in unusual places.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Where do I go to complain about this stuff?

I think right here is a good start?

Bye bye Miss American Pie....

And the three men I admire most...

The father, son, and the holy ghost, they caught the last train for the coast...

 

[El Floppo]

Seriously?! Wtf man.

With the bs and nastiness that so frequently happens in here, THAT warranted removal? A bunch of the more mild mannered folk enjoying themselves over a music draft? Because the musicians chosen were people who have died, died? 

Mods, Joe Bryant... I'd honestly like an explanation as nothing I saw in there was remotely offensive. Is death offensive?

 

[El Floppo]

Ok... Just saw the locked thread. 

@Joe 8ryant.... I've been here a long time.  I don't think I've ever genuinely objected to the moderation in regards to locked thread or suspensions. But...Imo, this decision is completely Draconian and off base. Because of the monty python reference? A couple posts that are self aware and questioning out loud as possibly being in bad taste? No maliciousness, nothing mean. You don't like it, ok... Edit or chop those posts. The whole thread? A bunch of well-meaning people being awesome with eachother (other than my ribbing of otb)

Please explain this further as it makes absolutely no sense to me.

 

[Ilov80s]

I don't get the locking of the thread at all. We were paying tribute and discussing our heroes and inspirations that passed. Totally baffling.

Tom Petty not dead yet jokes are not going to fly. Find another board for it.

@Joe Bryant - Please check your messages, I sent you an apology last nite. My reference wasn't meant to be about Tom Petty or the events yesterday in Las Vegas; it was just about the line in the post.

 

[El Floppo]

Understood (I guess).

So chop the offending post, not the entire thread where 15 people have been awesomely respectful to eachother and the artists they're drafting.

 

[Joe Bryant]

We've never done the deadpool stuff or anything where a person dying is a plus. We're not going to have any thread where Tom Petty being the "steal" of the draft or a "value" pick as he died during the draft. I didn't delete it so you guys can copy over the stuff you want to another website or platform. But it's not going to be here. Sorry. 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I very much doubt that you are sorry, @Joe 8ryant.  That is just ridiculous.  The music drafts have always been friendly and respectful.  You seem to have a problem with that.

I'll go back and re-read. I recall people even questioning their own posts around Petty as they made them.

Doesn't discount 15 music loving people have spent weeks participating in a very friendly and mutually respectful manner about artists- yes, dead artists- in a very respectful way. 

If dead people are now out of discussion, history is in trouble. Please rethink this.

 

[-OZ-]

Just to be clear here, people talking about how to best benefit after a player gets severely injured in the shark pool is okay, but people who enjoy music talking about the greats that have gone before isn't? 

Jokes about Petty aside that draft had been going pretty well (even if I owed a few picks). 

I just don't get it. 

 

[belljr]

You should. Take RoknRole with you. 

You know they are the same person, right?

 

[AAABatteries]

I'm not sure Joe 8ryant is going to help much here unless it's an Otis alias and he unlocks the thread once the sale goes through.

 

 

[AAABatteries]

I don't have much skin in this game as I wasn't even following along but it seems like the distasteful posts could be deleted, a warning giving and then move on.  No?

 

[PIK95]

Our thread got blown up?  Wow, I am running out of reasons to come here.  Awful decision.  I started at the other board,  maybe ill finish there.

Or speculating that the guy who killed 50+ people was innocent and was planted in the room as a cover up. 

We are all music nerds and loved Petty. It was a brutal day yesterday and losing Tom was piling on at that point. Just numbing day- weekend really. People often use humor when they are upset to cope. The draft never ever was about rooting for death, hoping for death or benefiting from death. It was just a bunch of music nerds reminiscing about legends lost.

Yea, I'm guessing you didn't bother to read the rest of the thread. Each poster contributing to that thread was respectful and educational and each pick was a tribute to the artists. 

 

[Waingro]

We were, but Joe lacked this understanding, which is why he lacked any empathy for the folks contributing to the thread.
