I don't know much about Toppscore and don't know if he deserved getting banned. Maybe he did maybe he didn't.

What i will say is this: this crybaby going behind people's backs and reporting them to the teacher (Brad) is a bit rich. If you don't like someone then don't read or respond to their posts, simple as that really. Don't enter into it with them.

This kind of warped thinking ultimately leads to a forum where it's a clique of backpatters all stroking each others egos and telling each other how great they are.

Real life is not like that and you're gonna meet opinions and ideas on here you don't like and don't agree with. What are you gonna do? report them all to Brad so they get banned?

Other forums people argue all the time about things and a lot worse than on here. No one ever gets banned usually and there's usually very little trouble.

I'm sure Brad's got enough to do without babysitting this forum. :P



That was kind of my thought on it. I was shocked to see him banned. I hadn't been on all weekend, and it came as a surprise. I just recently returned to the forum after years away, and don't remember it being like this at all in the beginning. Maybe my memory is just fuzzy, but it used to be slow around here. Though it was pretty cool.

Not knocking Brad's decision. He's got to do what he has to do. I just find it odd there are so many presumable adults that get this bent out of shape about what someone posts to actually tattle on someone. Bizarre.

The photo in his signature is annoying. Yesterday, I wished it went away... "God, I wish that thing would go away, it's annoying."

Well, I noticed that he would post a lot. I guess he would try a be helpful,but came off differently. I've figured out who to listen to and who to set aside. We have techs here and hacks..

In the vintage amp forum there are many guys who have a vast and rich knowledge of all sides of amp information, construction and repair. They are respected for what they know and willingly share their knowledge with folks in need. They are a resource unmatched anywhere I have been on the net.

This guy came in and for awhile was playing nice and being respectful. He was treated the same way. But in time he managed to anoy and insult nearly everyone in there and did it to the point of driving off some of the most respected members in there a few times. Do we really want post after post degenerating into cat fights?

Given that the forum template that this is built on has a "friend" and "foe" feature I'd think it was designed for people who knew how to manage their own interactions? Maybe? Just saying.

Perhaps it'd be better off with an "ignore" button. Then you could just ignore people who annoy you. Or, you know, do it anyway without a button?

Yeah, there are a few cry-babies here that need their ego stroked.

As for using the "Ignore" button...you'd end up with nothing to read! :lol:

Thanks Brad! I hated seeing long standing members who contribute so much to this forum leave because of topscore.

Well, I hope I'm not annoying anyone. I've tried to start a few threads and almost no replies. so, here's my public apology if i've annoyed someone. :)
topps always had some really self-redundant reply to everything.
i asked on one post if dragster humbuckers were available to purchase by themselves , to which he replies "IMHO, Dan, they are sold in factory shipped guitars.
Maybe if someone bought a Classic series Jaguar
and wanted to pull and change pickups, they'll be available.
Toppscore "
thanks, captain obvious.
there were more, but that's my personal favorite. really? in your humble opinion they're sold in factory shipped guitars? maybe you're not aware of what IMHO means and just like to put it in front of everything to sound hip? hmmmm.....

I'm not sure if announcement threads are the norm whenever someone gets banned but I haven't seen many of them, so hopefully that is a sign that banning users is not that common.

I never paid much attention to Toppscore since he seemed nutty the few times I read his posts. I wondered what his native language was a few times though. :lol:

This thread is starting to get interesting. Really people. For the most part, we're all creative people , with some exceptions. You have to expect things to get a little crazy sometimes, like it used to, and still does, when it's all in fun.

For the first time in a long while, people are getting back in the groove of good informative posts and making it interesting. What's even better is seeing the "older" guys coming back, hope those that are stalking make an appearence.

I had no problem with him. I would actually prefer to see him back as he was technical.

And maybe weird yes, but who isn't?

Sorry, I liked the guy.

Yah, he never beaked off at me either. I'm starting to get the feeling that a great portion of the complaints were related to his signature graphic (which he asked me for in a PM and I provided - he liked my foot-stomping Keef) and also his frequent posting but now that I've seen some of uglier things he did I can see why he was punted. Hopefully if he returns under a new name he will have learned his lesson from this and will adjust his behavior accordingly.
