Let me make it clear, I'm certainly not on this Discussion? board to cause anyone trouble, I am here purely as a Gn'R fan, like the rest of these fine people seem to be. I don't see what was considered bad enough for this thread to be blocked, because nobody threatened anyone else, some peope cracked a couple of jokes or whatever.? ?I agreed that the ACTUAL address should not be given out if anyone does know, and there was a warning about being banned from here already, concerning this.? This simply was a bit of a discussion, which I thought would be ok on a 'discussion board'? We all seem intelligent enough to not reduce ourselves to the usual shit you come across of your average message board, so I find it insultong that it was stopped before it got out of hand...At least wait, surely?

The reason (i think) it was locked is because when I logged on earlier, someone had posted the actual address and was offering the phone # for the house.

It seems on this forum if it's in the gnr section and it goes somewhat off line/topic it gets locked..

It was an issue about posting a home address, which is against the rules.

You got your answer so there wasn't that much left to discuss.

Since somebody thought it was a good idea to post an address, even after I had said it wasn't allowed, it was locked. You can thank that banned guy for it.

Topics only get locked if they go really off topic, contain stupid fights (which we try to stop before we lock a thread) etc.

Topics that "disappear" are usually moved (often to the Dead Horse section) or merged with an old thread. Sometimes I don't even leave a redirection topic when I move a thread since it's obvious that the thread was in the wrong place (for example a thread about VR in the GN'R section).

For example, if you post a topic about wanting to see pics of Axl and then can't find your post the next day, look for a similar topic and you'll probably find your post there.

Fair enough, you said 'don't' and somebody did, I understand that. I know I got my answer (I didn't take in the address, just the Malibu bit)but shouldn't it be up to us when the discussion stops, even if it goes off topic? That's the beauty of talking, it can go anywhere.  When you have a chat to someone, do you say, 'we were talking about 'this' and now were not, so I'm stopping the conversation dead'? No, you let it go where it goes...


Too much power trippin' it seems to me.  You could have just taken down the message that you felt was over the top, not cut the whole thing off just to prove a point.  Anyway, I have a feeling we're gonna go round in circles, so unless I have to make another totally fair point, I'll leave it there, but I would seriously take in what I've said, because I'm not trying to piss you off, Jarmo, I'm trying to point out that your blocking the entire thread was way over the top.

I just think the topic was dead, and people aren't smart enough to just let it be, he lives in cali, nothing much more to say, we'llnever get anymore then that..

I'd love to know how someone had his actuall address?  Also does anyone have it to verify if it's correct..?We dcould send him a card or something hihi Grin

The guy was just kidding around, it wasn't his real address, he even said he had his phone number, which I thought was amusing!

I'm sure he was, but he was told not to post an adress, there are some people that might believe it's real...When I see a thread like that I'll post 123 fake street or something silly not to be confused with a possible real addy...

I myself have seen a few topics locked a little soon, but every topic I've seen which stayed on the sunject never got locked.. Just look at how many are over ten pages/..

I think alot of vs threads get locked because it becomes pointless and lots of insults fly around and nothing of use is gained..

Yeah I do understand that, I just think you should wait for it to get the that point before you lock a thread.  Like I said ealrier, I think he should have removed the post in question, not the whole thing.  I didn't get the inpression that pointless unults were on the way as no-one had any insults to throw about anything.  Oh well, there you go!   I'll see how my future threads go from here on I guess....

Don't be so negative, it won't be like anyways in the future unlewss you ask for axl's addy.. It was just that ype of topic, you can talk about anything about gnr, just looks like personal info is a little much.. I've seen it on other forums as well, those topics can become a problem.. Not saying you're wrong but you just have to let it roll off your back..
There's not a subject here you can't debate, just be patient it was no big deal.. Even if the thread continued it would have had nothing more to say, or add..? beer

I was the one who locked your thread. I'm sorry you feel like it was power trippin'.

I saw a question that was answered and from that point it was only a thread destined to cause troubles.

Maybe "Sly" didn't have the right address but someone does and all that thread did was give them a stand to shout it out.

Therefore, and since your question was answered, there was nothing to discuss about.

What would you go on talking about anyway? If his home has a pool or if it has a good view?
