saturn Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I'm at work now, so when I get on the Gibson page I'm not signed in by default. I'm a Guest. But I forgot this and noticed that The Lounge was blocked. I finally figured out if I signed in, I had access. I could go into any other area though without signing in. So I guess that Guests are no longer alowed into The Lounge? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 "The Lounge" by it's very nature discusses, sometimes, controversial subjects. Best to leave the transient trolls standing at the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I did notice that the forum entry notes now that the lounge is for members only. I think personally that it's not a bad idea at all. Some of the info here is very broadly guitar and music associated; some of it is "We" who've been here a while are pretty much of a special little community. It may serve as a reminder that as a community, civility is vital or the community goes away as such. In another thread Duane noted that due to concerns of those in ultimate control, it's up to us "members" to determine whether the Lounge survives or not. I think it would be a great loss were it to disappear because we do get those "here are photos from my gig Saturday," and "Has anybody tried this on their guitar" and even "did you know string wire mostly all comes from one company?" Just saying. Gibson is an icon in guitar-oriented music because of a number of factors. It's up to us to determine whether we can be civil, as one should find at an open jam session, or if we'll entirely lose the venue for the jams... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 TROL! I mean LOL!!! I'm serious though...the trolls can be eliminated quite easily.....ignore and delete. No need to respond to a troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShredAstaire Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I also think its fair to say that we all have displayed Trolly behaviour before....doesn't mean you ARE a troll in general though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep' date=' you're absolutely right, I agree with you to ignore them, ...but I had a laugh because I was using a metaphor with real trolls from fairy tales[biggrin'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Shred... I think you made good points - including that all of us, most of us "regulars" anyway - have almost certainly appeared to others to exhibit "trolly" behavior. Sad but true. And Kris - yeah, I had a visual of the troll metaphor as well... <grin> m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
