Anyway, nothing against them, I don't read that many of their posts, and if I do, I don't get all pissed off. Why should I?

What the heck? Why would you blackmail someone over an INTERNET POST about a band? They almost sound like groupies to me. How old was this though?browneyedgirl wrote:Right.Intiaani wrote:Exactly my first thoughts.Avatar Thief wrote: I wouldn't be surprised if this was A10's new nick

As annoying as the AFamily is I can tolerate them better than some other Forum behaviors.
For example, in the old, old Tolkki forum there were these fanGIRLS(about 4 of them)who were so sweet in other Stratoforums, but in Tolkkis forum they became total bitches with their smartass controlling behavior to some forum members, and overprotective behavior(to Tolkki. After all,em to post the way she wanted the person to post!(Sh they were his pets. ). One of these zealots actually tried to blackmail a person, trying to force the told a person if they did not comply she would post something VERY personal about the other person ) It makes me Mist-y eyed and Blue just thinking about that.
Remembering that bullshit I find it very funny from many angles.
Knowing what I know now, I would tell that blackmailer idiot, "if you are so damn upset to the point of blackmail over someones posts on a little internet forum, you go ahead and do what you feel you have to do, sicko! And while you are at it, get a life!"
Well, it was in 2002 and I was a total forum newbie who took people too seriously. And, when I was threatened like that, by a girl who knew the band (especially Tolkki)in real life, I was pretty stunned! These days I would tell such a person just to fuckoff and grow up!Oceansoul324 wrote:What the heck? Why would you blackmail someone over an INTERNET POST about a band?

And this is why girls who like metal (like me) get a bad rep.

Although freedom of speech and thoughts are great things, to a certain degree, it doesn't work in the internet forums. Some people are opportunists. They use the fact they can act anonymously to their advantage in a way they would never do it in public. Much like, well, we(?) download music from the internet because it's possible and we don't get caught of it. We rob a shop if it was possible because of a natural disaster for example, etc. Some just do that. Opportunism. So the UNLIMITED freedom can't be good...? A herd is always as stupid as its stupidest sheep. Or something like that anyway.NeverendingAbyss wrote:I voted for no because everyone has the right to say what he/she wants.
Totally agree about the nazi police at other forums like the Sonata forum. If you knew or saw how nerdy most of these moderator fan boys were behind the nick on a forum, you'd know why they are a bunch of cock sucking ball jugglers...and in that sense we have a really cool, understanding, non-fan boy moderator that is metal and enjoys a good laugh like we do. As much as I dislike the As, I do appreciate the laid back atmosphere and the privilege of talking to one of my favorite musicians! :headbang:Mormegil wrote:That is precisely the reason why I left Nightwish forum after about two weeks of posting there.Suomirock63 wrote:You don't think for example that Nightwish would not moderate their Official Forum in bit different way?

I'd much rather have a free forum where you can fucking swear and have stuff like Yeah-thread and microphalluses, than one of those neutered police-forums that every other power metal -band seems to have.
I guess that it would be possible to have a reasonable moderating level to get the best of most worlds?

Technically speaking, you can't ever stop any user from accessing a public forum such as this, it's virtually impossible, all you can do is judge if it's worth their while to keep coming back.mayhem-for-all wrote:I truly agree with Burning here.Burning Reflection wrote:Totally agree about the nazi police at other forums like the Sonata forum.

Jens is just awesome to have here and I like they way he moderates stuff.
the only problem is the fact that these A's can't be stopped once and for all without sacrifices.
The user Zlotnick who literally butchered up this entire forum was banned for good, but so was the whole country of Slovenia!

Let's look at it from another point of view. Why is the forum here from the beginning? Well, It's one of many possibilities (or channels, if you like) that Stratovarius is giving to us, the fans, so that we can experience Stratovarius even more. It's also a possibility for Stratovarius to keep, or even gain, It's fanbase.Rebel wrote:Technically speaking, you can't ever stop any user from accessing a public forum such as this, it's virtually impossible, all you can do is judge if it's worth their while to keep coming back.mayhem-for-all wrote:I truly agree with Burning here.Burning Reflection wrote:Totally agree about the nazi police at other forums like the Sonata forum.

This is so fucking banhappy. Just do what Jens has been doing, send Tolkki topics to the Flames boardmayhem-for-all wrote:Now that I think of it.
If nothing else can't be done at leats we could have a mod who would just immidiately ban anyone saying he(/she ) is Tolkki and would try to keep people from bashing him.
I'm not a fanatic who wants to defend his hero (well I still do respect TT) but instead that would just simply be the best of everyne and keep the discussion better.
The A-team is long gone. Last I heard, stinky and priapus "tied the knot" down in Phallustine and the whole family is rejoicing at this sacred union. Chris P. Bacon is the chef, and Timo Toikki the court jester. A9, A10, A10 2.0, A24, and the rest of the A's exchange witticisms and share nomnoms by the fire without a care in the world (except for the pungent odor of the Finnish goatfarmer who has also stopped by)! :rotflmao1:palarmux wrote:It seems, there is no need for moderators anymore, A-team have vanished, but it could be good idea id something similiar happens
