link Richard - something to consider for the trolls who are still here, wasting everyone's time and bandwidth. |
| inu-liger 04.03.2012 13:25 |
That would be such a godsend to employ on this forum. After years of the community being degradated largely in part thanks to trolls like Charles Webster Baer, Treasure Moment, Jake Britt, John.Simon, etc., we can use this to try and take back our community and maybe even entice former users who left 'cos of the negative environment here to come back :-) |
| The Real Wizard 04.03.2012 20:35 |
Richard... are you going to let the trolls take over? Look around on the forum. I'd say half of the topics are hijacked by people who are making the place worse, not better. |
| Micrówave 05.03.2012 13:28 |
Instead, maybe we should have a Queenzone Daycare and stick these two in it? Don't give into changing things because a couple of clowns don't like it when they can't bully everyone around here. |
| The Real Wizard 05.03.2012 14:33 |
Bravo. The schoolyard bully trolls again. |
| inu-liger 05.03.2012 15:05 |
Aww how cute. The bully wants to stalk and accuse his targets of his very own continuous intent. |
| Micrówave 06.03.2012 10:15 |
Interesting how the two knuckleheads so quickly responded. Can I "Like" their posts? |
| Saint Jiub 07.03.2012 19:37 |
Under a zero tolerance policy for personal attacks, everyone who has posted in this topic so far (myself included) would have been banned years ago. |
| The Real Wizard 08.03.2012 10:11 |
Indeed. But trolling and personal attacks are two very different (although not necessarily mutually exclusive) issues. |
| Micrówave 08.03.2012 10:58 |
So then what is this?
rocknrollover wrote: What concert Brian played his very longest solo? The Real Hippo wrote: One time he played in his basement for an hour straight. Posted in the General Forum the NEXT DAY after he accused me of trolling, personal attacks, etc!!!! So explain yourself, Bob. YOU can do it but no one else can? Is that the policy you're looking for? For all Queenzoners, let's make it a multiple choice. Was this an example of: A) Trolling B) Really bad humor C) Clever retort D) A & B Grow up, Bob. Or just stick to posting about Queen and stay out of the Personal forum. That would probably make things a lot better. You're an antagonist. (Stay tuned for the answer!!!!) |

Here is an interesting and worthwhile site which I learned about on a gaming forum. Perhaps it might be helpful for some citizens. link |

| inu-liger 09.03.2012 03:19 |
Are you implying that *I* am the one doing the bullying?? Wow, are you ever far from reality. Why don't you do some more research on the board, such as Microwave's attacks towards me about my guitar collection for instance? |
| Micrówave 09.03.2012 09:50 |
Relax, guitarman... You and Bob just like to gang up on people. You, in particular, can be quite vulgar on this board... for that you should be ashamed of yourself.
But if that's how you were raised, there's nothing we can do about that.
(Let's count how many times you use the word "fuck" on here. Just about every newbie gets a taste of your F bombs.)
I think the only threads I get puffed up on are when they start throwing outthings like "That's why America is the most hated country in the world".
Now if you'd like to discuss your guitar collection, which you were "scoreboarding" with... I also take a little objection to that.
First off, it started in the VOX AC 30 thread. I did not reference you at all, I simply stated that "The only "experience" I've had on the newer models is walking away from them.".
Even Bob was able to post something and didn't take offense. BUT YOU...WHO DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE STONES TO HAVE AN AC 30 had to respond with
Pay no attention to Microwave, Togg. He was being a sarcastic smartass there, as is typical of his character. ignoring the fact that you know NOTHING about a good quality amp because all you have is a practice amp you insult me and shrug off the fact that maybe I have about 10 years experience playing VOX, Marshall, and Fender amps. So, by all means, research. I think you'll find I'm pretty laid back, fairly intellegent, but highly opinionated. You are just an ass to everyone except your "buddies" because you met them at a Queen Convention. Big deal. |
| Micrówave 09.03.2012 09:55 |
By the way, Panchgani & I even had our differences and probably still do, but we don't sling insults for no reason at each other. If we both had been banned, then you would have nothing to do today. Think positive. |
| inu-liger 09.03.2012 11:23 |
Micrówave wrote: ignoring the fact that you know NOTHING about a good quality amp because all you have is a practice amp you insult me and shrug off the fact that maybe I have about 10 years experience playing VOX, Marshall, and Fender amps. WHY DO YOU KEEP INSISTING I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AMPS?! Just because I'm not rich like other people doesn't equal me having zero knowledge about amplifiers. You repeatedly attacking me based on false assumptions coming from out of nowhere and trying to bully me with your own personal achievements just to make me look bad only serves to highlight what a judgmental bully you really are. |
| Micrówave 09.03.2012 11:42 |
If that were the case, then why would you say
"Pay no attention to Microwave, Togg. He was being a sarcastic smartass there, as is typical of his character."
Why, instead, would you not offer your insights on the AC 30? Because you have none. You made the choice to go with the gear you wanted. You probably shouldn't have responded to the AC30 thread at all.
Instead, you gave us some of your clever, typical, bashing comments and expected no reply?
So I concluded, correctly, that you just don't know anything about real guitar amps since you brought nothing but BS to the discussion.
I discussed tubes, field density, quality of construction.... you discussed how I'm a smartass.
Although, throughout this whole thread, I have come up with something clever.... and I'll even give you credit for it...
SQUIER GUITARS - Just because I'm not rich like other people |
| Micrówave 09.03.2012 12:03 |
And let's see how I bullied you with my own personal achievements. I'll go in chronological order...
My next post after Inu-liger's "smartass" accusation:
Grow up, inu-liger. We're talking about guitar amps here, something you know nothing about. The newones just dont seem to have any gas. There's a reason they didn't have a master volume control... not just Brian but everyone played them at max level. I think part of the reason is that everyone wants to practice with them, so we have to redesign it so you can turn it down. That, and the cheaper parts and construction just make em a far cry from what they used to be. That said, I NEVER take my 30 out to just any gig... they are definitely not a road worthy amp after so many years.A quick STFU and back to the topic. But then you had to keep it going: Oh, and what source do you have to back up your oh-so-assertive conclusive statement? NONE. And not that I really need to, but here's where I prove you wrong once again: << >> Posted: 15 Feb 12, 02:40 Micrówave wrote: Grow up, inu-liger.

And not that I really need to, but here's where I prove you wrong once again: Enough said.Interesting. Here it appeared you TRIED to "Bully me with your personal achievements" first. Unfortunately, you brought a knife to a gunfight. My reply: Oh my god, you didn't just post a picture of your Peavey Raptor and some Squier guitar did you?!?!? Hehehe. But back to the topic, what say you... guitarboy... do you like the amp or not? And a Peavey practice amp and Digitech pedal!!! Hahahahahahaha. Never mind. You don't need a Vox amp.. you're doing just fine there. Your amp should be sufficient.So that's how I came to the conclusion that you don't know much about quality amps. No bullying involved and I hadn't even gotten to my Bullying Personal Achievement that hurt you so deeply... Here's my keyboard (Nord Electro 3) which costs more than EVERYTHING in your picture about to be played in front of 40,000 people and national TV (ABC) in Dallas on New Year's Eve a 1½ months ago. We headlined. I think I know a little bit about amplifiers. That's a Valley Arts Electric you can slightly see in the picture as well... again, costs more than EVERYTHING in your picture. (Picture of 40,000 people, a Nord keyboard, Valley Arts and Martin Guitars and me)So let's just end this and realize you and Bob have been being asses lately, you much more than he. In fact, he only gets mad at me AFTER I have defended some Anti-American rhetoric on here. I CHALLENGE him to say it's ever been more than that. You, you're just a d-head. |
| inu-liger 09.03.2012 12:33 |
I will admit I am an ass at times. And I can be more difficult than need be. But when people attack me on a personal level with baseless accusations, I will not sit back and take it silently. |
| inu-liger 09.03.2012 12:34 |
Anyways, let's get back to the original topic at hand which had nothing to do with you in the first place. If you want to continue this, keep it to PM's, or god forbid if you're man enough, let's have a vocal discussion on Skype sometime. And I'm being legit here, I am OPEN to having a one-on-one conversation with you. |
| MadTheSwine73 09.03.2012 12:45 |
I wanted to write something childish, but I see it's been done already. |
| Micrówave 09.03.2012 13:02 |
I don't "Skype" and I've decided (after the Photoshop Picture) that I will not give out my facebook on Queenzone, because the kids here will post obscene stuff, or try to contact my friends, etc... although, I am pretty easy to find. But we have to NOT have separate rules or start threads like this one. This was a horrible thread / subject to start and what made it worse was that you two were instigating it... then hopping over to other threads to do the same thing you're complaining about. I think Richard sees the greater good. We want traffic on this site. Just like Queen wants to sell records. Sometimes you have to bring on Paul Rodgers or Adam Lambert but the end result is more album & ticket sales and more money in pocket. |
| GratefulFan 09.03.2012 13:52 |
I'd like to apologize to all those who were on pins and needles waiting for Microwave's facebook for any of the 35 years or whatever that's he's been here. Clearly the Photoshopped pic and implicit intention to contact his facebook friends two weeks ago or whatever could not have been more ill timed. I'm deeply sorry. If I were Japanese I'd go all seppuku, but I'm Canadian so I'm just going to laugh out loud instead. |
| inu-liger 09.03.2012 16:14 |
Microwave...QOL moderates their forums to filter out pretty much the same type of crap me and Bob were complaining about, and they still see a lot more user activity than we do. (Hell, they even banned Treasure Moment a long time ago!) Are you even aware that they mock Queenzone a lot for how much crap we let go on here? |
| Micrówave 09.03.2012 16:46 |
So you're saying I should care about QOL Users and Moderators mocking Queenzone? Really? Again, I think you're overstepping realty here. It's a forum, a rather small one. Does someone really need to waste their time moderating this stuff? Do I need to contact YV about how GratefulFan just took another shot atme and I don't know what to do about it? No, I actually chuckled at it for a moment. It's called self moderation... and we're all doing it right now!!! Amazing! |

| john bodega 10.03.2012 11:48 |
It's a dopey premise to start with. Barely anything about the site has to change. There doesn't need to be any censoring; hilarious posts can go on being posted. We just need to nip a couple of people from the membership. John.Simon, Jake, the members of TM, and that's about it. It can't be put into words just how much better the site would be - wouldn't even require a huge change in policy or anything. Just get rid of these cocksuckers. |
| The Real Wizard 10.03.2012 13:58 |
Microwave - the answer is E, none of the above. The person who started the thread is a troll. Look at his history - no matter what he posts (with a Russian to English translator), he is a complete buffoon who cannot engage even in basic dialogue. So I decided to have some fun. No harm done. The point of hellbanning is to hide the posts of people who offer nothing of value to the forum. If you think I qualify under that category, then I hope the feature is added just for you. |
| Micrówave 12.03.2012 10:31 |
Bob, I have said many times on here what a value to this community you are. It's just that lately you guys have been picking a lot of fights, Inu more so than you. I think Zebonka makes a terrific point: "There doesn't need to be any censoring" I agree 100% with that!! John Simon, while a"troll" or whatever you internet gurus like to call them posted a scan of an article I had never seen. Does that warrant censorship? Had he been "hell-banned" or whatever, I would not have seen that article. Did it change my life? No... but it was an interesting read. But when you cross the line and maliciously fabricate things, that's when you have to look in the mirror. Users like Amazon and Inu-liger are doing far worse inciting things than John Simon posting bogus Freddie timeline facts. It would be nice to see, if you people really do want to make it a better place, the same attention brought to that problem as the worthless threads of nonsense. |
| Donna13 12.03.2012 10:39 |
Well, I've been reading a little bit about hellbanning and there are different types. One type allows the hellbanned person (HBP) to participate in the forum but nobody else on the forum can see the HBP's posts. Another type, called Friends For Hellbanned People (FFHBP) allows other HBPs to see each other's posts but the rest of the forum cannot see their posts. So I think we need to think back over our history here and try to remember just what it was that we did that made Richard put us in the FFHBP. In my case I think it was too many posts about subjects I knew absolutely nothing about. Obviously, I had no idea of just how irritating and disruptive I had become. |
| Micrówave 12.03.2012 15:31 |
I had never found you irritating and disruptive, I'm pretty sure the general consensus around here is the same.
We have an opportunity to clean up this site because there's bound to be a wave of new fans from a younger demographic.
132 Queen fans have joined so far this month.It's important that we realize that if we can't moderate ourselves, at that rate (see above) it would be quite easy railroad with Lambert fans and replace our threads with "What kind of shirt do you think Adam will wear tonight" and "Adam is so hot", not to mention the American Idol fans. |

Good thinking.132 Queen fans have joined so far this month.It's important that we realize that if we can't moderate ourselves, at that rate (see above) it would be quite easy railroad with Lambert fans and replace our threads with "What kind of shirt do you think Adam will wear tonight" and "Adam is so hot", not to mention the American Idol fans. |
