Lately this has really become a problem. I could probably infest this idea in to your head and some people still wouldn't listen. People have their own opinions on artists and songs. If you disagree and go out of your way to personally attack them or indirectly attack them in a belligerent manner, that's breaking the rules. Since it has become such a problem recently, understand that if anyone continues to do this, you may be banned. You are free to your opinion, but don't attack the opinions of others and do not cause an uproar because they dislike an artist that you like.

I just think a banner is artist bashing not matter how you look at it. Its one thing to say your opinion. I think that not anti-whomever but anti-their album thing was just a cop out to find a loop hole in the no artist bashing rules.
I think you can't stop people from artist bashing and its not fair to even try. That was my point. People are always going to have an opinion. Others have the option to ignore it or have an opinion about the opinion. Maybe there should be an anti-artist section? I just think people should be able to have unregulated opinions.
If I had been the first to put up a banner against an artist or an album I would've gotten a warning. Just seems like some people are allowed to push the limits more than others.

You're missing the point. An example of a conversation that isn't allowed: Person 1: "I like the new D12 song" Person 2: "I hate the new D12 song" Person 1: "well obviously you are a fuckwit with bad taste because anyone with half a brain would like it" That's what I've been seeing and it's ridiculous to tell someone their opinion is wrong. I'm not stopping you from going in the topic and saying "I hate D12. They are talentless and juvenile." What I am stopping is someone from replying to that and saying "Well you're stupid because it's a great song!" |

You guys if you go to a mod. Josh , Matt , or TCorey and express your complaint they really do care and try to fix the situation. If you don't pm them though than there is nothing they can do. There are so many topics it would be ridiculous for us to think they read every word that is writing

I'm not stopping you from going in the topic and saying "I hate D12. They are talentless and juvenile." What I am stopping is someone from replying to that and saying "Well you're stupid because it's a great song!" Well I never have said that to you or ed. Go back and read what I said. No one has said either of you were stupid for having your opinions. I did say to rebirth that I was surprised that he didn't like it and that at least others liked it but that's all I said. That's not opinion bashing. I still think people have the right to bash the opinion but not the person giving the opinion. |

I never said you said it but I do see it on the board and I do see people instances like:
Avril fan: "I don't like Fighter"
Christina: "...says the Avril fan"
that only causes topics to be ruined by what is nothing more than absolute juvenile behavior. You're not going to do anything by telling someone their opinion is wrong, other than cause an argument.
...and yes, you have the right and on top of that we have the right to establish rules on this message board and ban you for it. I've never seen anything postive come out of "Your opinion is wrong" and that's why people are not allowed to say it.

What if someone says "Christina is a skank?"
Are we not allowed to respond?

Belligerent is if it's percieved as instigating. If you do it every time her name comes up, that's belligerent. |

....they really do care and try to fix the situation. Yes, they try to fix the situation and they are good mods, but let's be honest here. They don't care.  I don't blame them if they don't. I wouldn't care. It's not their jobs, it's just something on the side. If they truly do care, they need a ... life.. ;) ;) |

This post confuses me. For one, Rebirth I have seen you do exactly what you are saying not to do  (no offense) and I continuously see people do the things you gave examples of (especially the Avril/Christina example-I swear you cant say an opinion on anything without someone bringing up another artist you like!) And I see continuous, nasty bashing of artists like Christina, and Madonna. Are you guys going to start cracking down on that now or something? I was told before when I complained that basically the mods wouldnt do anything about it so I stopped complaining-I just figured it was how the board was chosen to run. |

A moderator on another message board right here in Hawaii mentioned "If you need to get personal, take it to e-mail". I disagree because I thought making threats of any kind is against the law.
The bickering on that website is worse than what I've seen here.
