    I'll be a devil's advocate... which I hate usually... do you like KVR and Gearslutz better? :wink:

    [I hate them, and have been a member for 20 years in both]

    This has been a refreshment right from the start for me, and it still is. Best music forum of all. :shrug: The friendly and open attitude of people. When I go to aforementioned forums I get sick in comparison.

    Totally agree

    @tooloud

    I've got 52 yrs in the industry and we are both too old to give a damn. Collect your inner curmudgeon and run them off your lawn. Long goodbyes are never good. Hate to see you leave, but, if you have to go, shut it down and be done with it. Get on with life and let no one steal your joy.

    30 Years in this Industry and that doesn't hold water if it's a humane thing.

    How you talk to folks and having respect for your fellow forum members matters. Truly it's a common sense thing.

    Learn to always be good to one another and this place and the rest of the world will be a better one.

    In essence, be you...but be cool.

    This is the warning you received which is automatically generated when insulting a member:

    Dear tooloud,
    we have noticed that you insulted another user of AudioSEX in this message:
    (Why is UAD-2 “unbridgeable”? (No, seriously))
    Insulting another member is not allowed per forum rules, as such you are granted a 2-point warning. Please observe 5-point limit, which is a threshold for ban.

    Sincerely,
    Olymoon
    .....................................................................................
    This is what you answered:
    I am sorry my ten years of contributions here are so easily outweighed by a newcomer whose only purpose thus far has been to gripe about why Acustica and UAD plugins haven't been cracked. If that is the sort of person you prefer in the community then it is clear that I am not needed. I am disappointed that my record of guiding and advising others is of no value and that you support somebody who, having arrived a month ago as opposed to my ten years, tells me they "sincerely doubt I have anything to contribute" Do you not think I find that insulting? You have a warped vision of who is and who isn't an asset to this group and you have just lost a member who was committed to helping people make better music in favour of a newbie whose only input has consisted of complaints that they can't get expensive plugins for free.
    .....................................................................................
    And you didn't wait for my answer to post this thread, so I guess you made your decision already

    This is the answer I sent you about this matter :
    Hi Tooloud,
    Of course, we greatly appreciate your contribution, and being an long time member may have shown you how important is respect in this place for it to work.
    So the rules clearly stipulates that you cant insult a member, and the reason is quiet obvious. Imagine that we would look at the registration date before warning a member who insult another one...
    And member Hoppe have been warned too.

    Beside, this new comer, is only asking a question, I cant see what's the problem.
    So this guy told you "sincerely doubt I have anything to contribute" because you said " Following your lengthy conversations regarding AA cracking, I'd be inclined to steer you away from this and onto more productive discussions." which question the utility of the thread itself and he was saying this about this particular thread, not about all your capacity to contribute.

    We all have been beginners, we all have asked "stupid questions" and for each of us, depending of our knowledge, there may be questions that sounds stupid, but are essential to someone else.

    Think about Audiosex as a big place with rooms, the thread title is like a door where the activity is written. When you see a room in which you're not interested, you can go to another one.


    I sincerely wish that you're are not leaving Audiosex.

    Have a nice day

    Regards

    Olymoon rules are changeable like other things. Democracy is not working everywhere. Some members deserve to be offered or granted exclusive concessions. I don't know whether this can be applicable to forums or not but if rules don't change, professional people won't participate and leave here. :mates:

    What about dedicating special places to highly accomplished persons? These places exist in the society like universities or other places. You can't mix all people in threads.:bleh:

    Whining little shits from Generation Useless crying "offence" at every little thing get on my nerves as well but you're just as bad for flouncing about like a tart.

    the classical (internet) circle of life.

    victim<---->drama<---->victim<---->drama<---->victim<---->drama<---->victim<---->drama<---->victim<---->drama<---->victim

    ...ad infinitum.

    the existential food chain of the internet.

    i propose a simpler, more efficient alternative.

    drama<---->drama<---->drama<---->drama<---->drama<---->drama<---->drama<---->drama<---->drama

    please people, as artists of the interwebs we must show leadership in streamlining this process. redouble your efforts. make it so.

    apologies, carry on.

    to avoid many problems, in general my humble but firm recommendation is, dont use "we" when you mean "i", dont use "us" when you mean "I" and dont have really the plausible entitlement to.

    a warning flag rises directly when I see individuals who use "we"or "us" extensibly in their comments instead of "i" or "in my opinion"

    to me that its the clear sign of some kind of "disorder", when used systematically its often the language from an childish fool or a pompous ass with low self-esteem who somehow believes they achieve authority claiming to represent more than themselves. at least in my experience it has shown to be exactly so 9 out of 10 times

    also, i feel its a bad idea to think one "deserves" some special treatment, if i believed that in a forum without being the owner i would need to really check myself

    Dear @tooloud I really feel sorry for you.
    Again.
    I think it would be best not only quit AS but quit music business as a whole. Sell your studio equipment ASAP and save the money. You will definitely need it later.
    Why? Because you're a nice guy and nice guys tend to get betrayed. Music business is full of gangsters and they will get you over and over and over again. The business is too hard for you.

    Quit music, find a nice woman and a normal job and never look back. Live long and happier than ever before.

    Wish you all the best.
    R.

    Hello @tooloud (and maybe goodbye),

    We were never introduced but I just wanted to say that it's unfortunate that things turned out this way for you.

    On a 2nd thought I don't think it really matters how old you are in this forum (your profile lists December 2017 for your join date) if you are unable to respect someone else, be it a newbie or not.

    More than that, if you decided to be offended after a warning to the point of leaving then I'm curious to see how you are managing things in the "real" life.

    Wishing you the best in your endeavors,
    Mr P
