I reckon I would only miss it after it was gone... Like that weird tool, or mystery kit you have around for years and don't need until you just throw it away. lol
 
If people complain about nut cases on Facebook I just put up a link to a thread in RT OT.
 
Political stuff is always going to come up (especially at election time), so at least OT gives it a place. If OT is taken away, we'll start to see crap like "The overdrive channel sounds as smooth as Trump's policy on ______".
 
I've never actually looked at OT til I saw this post... It seems like a different world over there for sure... not really my thing but if people are drawn to it and post and participate in it regularly I say leave it.
 
pretty simple imho, keep it but enforce the no politics. I mean come on, that is clearly stated in rules lol. It's not rocket science :lol: :LOL:
 
Well, it does say something about abandoning all hope, so there’s some truth in advertising happening. :lol: :LOL:

Are you insane??
It means...... abandoning all hope (less you be a whiny pussy)
Then complain to the mods ... (who SHOULD FIX IT WITHIN 15 minutes of my insecuritie attack!!)
If not......
I’m Taking my pussy rants elsewhere!!

Can ya feel me? :D
 
I haven't wandered into OT in years. It's an embarrassment.

I think the key is keeping OT threads in the OT arena - period.
And if hostilities arise over there - moderate it accordingly. Just because it's OT doesn't mean anyone should expect some full-on latitude to be an offensive shithead over there. Or threaten people. Or make derisive comments to other members. It's the "Off Topic Central" sub-forum, not "Feel Free to Be An Asshole Here" sub-forum.

2 cents.
^ The voice of reason - I agree completely.

There are a small number of people that consistently cause problems and aim to do nothing but troll and incite responses. The lack of consistent moderation opened the door to extending that behavior to personal attacks. That should never be tolerated. If someone wants to post weird topics in OT, fine. Read them or don't. If they launch personal attacks or make racist comments, then they should be immediately banned.

There's my two cents...

^^^ Totally Agree

Admin's job to to ban the Trolls, and shutdown threads that violate the rules of this site. Clearly very little interest in doing this. Amazing how much the Trolls get away with, almost like there is some preferential special treatment.

'Job', lol! Feel free to sign up to help. Or, you know, keep crying about shit that doesn't matter.

Not to poke the bear here, but it does matter. When was the last time you saw SAH5150, mrdan666, gainfreak, rockinchippy, Reza, rupe, barzinni, etc post here ??? Or chubtone ? Lots of guys stay away, and the forum was better with them. Just my .02

Agreed... I get that being a moderator is not a paying job, and it's thankless more often than not. But consistent moderation does matter for the sake of the forum overall.
 
Why is it so hard for some people to just ignore things they don't like? If some dude trolling on a guitar message board really effects your life that much...I don't know what to tell you.

I'll gladly sign up, matter of fact consider this my application, because this bullshit would not fly with me.

So you are going to go around banning and deleting things that you don't like? Let's hope they don't mod you. In fact, I think TGP may be looking for mods.

No I would ban Troll's, and things that violate the rules, would that be a problem?
 
After reza split there was an edict the political threads would be pulled and people given "time outs" and if it continued there would be outright bannings, BUT that has slipped away, AND the trolls have made it back in, so what does that say about "the rules" ?
