Re: Can we have Chunky back pls kthnxbai

we also lost alot of key members participation because of him...which imo has caused ms to really suffer..

Fair enough if you feel that way my friend. I think it a little unfair to lay the blame for such a thing at the door of one person alone. Please take twenty minutes to see how much music and knowledge Chunky has brought here over time. If it were true that someone left because of him it's a shame someone would just leave rather than sort it out I feel, but hey ho. We can't put a number on the people who came here in the first place because of his efforts though can we ? I'd say many kept on coming too because he kept on delivering the goods and kept on taking the time to help.

but god people really do take themselves a tad bit too seriously don't they.

yes

All I can say is that I know him personally, he's a very nice bloke and a great laugh.

I don't know him personally but he's always come across to me as a top bloke. I wonder sometimes if there's a lot of misunderstanding of people here in terms of sense of humour? Fair to say that Brit humour is a little different from US humour for example, sarcasm often gets lost in text. Maybe people took him seriously when he's kidding and thought he was kidding when he was serious at times?

The amount of quality old and timeless music i discovered thanks to him is inmense.. Very important MS member imo.. Sometimes i don't share his responses to some other members but well, don't think is a big deal either..

This is a double edged sword, would you rather have people just come in here for music or come in here to make friends, the latter being the foundation of what was the original intention behind the sight. Of late, it's become a festering pot of bickering and music and I personally don't like that (as much as many others in here). I'd rather have 50 happy posters / friends sharing lesser music rather than have only 5 people willing to become friends and accept a particular individual's negative personality (this is not specifically towards chunky but a general statement to your response).

Moreover, a healthy majority of the people who have disapproved the ban don't appear to be from the US and with most folks generally against the US in the Politics forum, I did expect this.

I for one have always been against suspending users but Chunky's issue has been going on for months and months now and increasing in frequency.

Thanks for the reply Kamal. People coming here to share/discuss music, make friends, have a laugh, yes. The vibe of this forum has always been the thing that set it apart imo, I don't really come here for music so much as just coming here because of the people here I like.
The music discussion has taken a kick in the bollocks since p&r got taken over by the spammers but I think, in time, will come back now you've moved the offenders on. I hope so.I think you should have fucked them off long before you did, as you know, but that was an opinion no more. We've all got one eh?
Chunky has't been a "negative personality" overall in his time here I don't think? Do you, honestly? It's clear something has pissed him off lately, yes.

most folks are generally against the US in the Politics forum? Hmm

I'll give that some thought and get back

Cheers me ole flower

Things with Chunky have been of late, a bit off the beaten path. As for folks against the US, I was more referring to the US bashing that goes on in there. Sorry if that came off wrong.

Yes, Chunky has been spilling the stuff out into other forums too, in the most random places. So taken out of context, it would appear Chunky is being disruptive. But at least he's not trolling indiscriminately in threads as some of us are prone to. He's never struck me as a public nuisance.

So to your point about coming here to make friends, I doubt if Chunky is turning newbies off from participating since he got it for very specific people with, presumably, a cause. And it usually takes two or more for stuff to get out of hand ...

I only hope he returns with no hard feelings given what's transpired, now that would really ruin things for the board.

Re: Can we have Chunky back pls kthnxbai

its temp, 7 days. receiving too many complaints specifically about him, i ain't got nothing against the man, but when people continue to specifically pm me about him and chunky was asked to ease up several times in the past (which evidently didn't happen), it had to be done (albeit for a short duration).

I'd like to file a complaint against the individuals who complained against him, in reference to MercuryServer Forum Statute 35.02 relating to the inappropriate presence of sand in their vaginas.

i was also under the impression that i was the forum asshole. of course, i've been away from this forum for a while...

Re: Can we have Chunky back pls kthnxbai

imo ms has reached a low point as far as being a forum used to make friends and discuss music but has reached a high point in the amount of music and sets that are available and the database to orgnaize all your favorite djs.

personally i really miss the old ms.

Re: Can we have Chunky back pls kthnxbai

My take on it was that Chunky thought this was his message board and when things changed...he took the hump and started abusing other members. I have never seen anything positive from him to do with the progression of [ms] so i think thats where people get put off posting and contributing to it.

Obviously i dont know him personally and you can never take someones internet persona as their real one but he had a few goes at me just for trying to introduce new music to others. Very narrow minded and petty i thought but i wont lose sleep over it.

Im sure he will be back but he really needs chill with the online hating. No need as far as im concerned.

Good music and discussion doesnt need negative attitude and poor attempts at one up manship.

Its clear that there are very mixed views on him here and ive never seen that about any other members of [ms] in all the time ive been coming on.

The only reported posts and complaints we received were about emusic/domi/chunky. Make of it what you will.

Re: Can we have Chunky back pls kthnxbai

i,m kinda residing to the idea that many of us need to get the fuck out more rather than sit @ computers all day arguing with each other, its just causing bother both mentally and physically

Re: Can we have Chunky back pls kthnxbai

sad... ive always liked the chunky and obviously i troll around the P&R forum, not here as much as i would like but i used to get really pissed at the Politics forum bc of the constant hating on each other which is why i refuse to go in there anymore.

i agree with some of the other comments, if you are going to ban 1 person for insults, at least be consistent about it. just because some members dont receive complaints doesnt make it right or ignorable.

Re: Can we have Chunky back pls kthnxbai

I love Chunky.. Yes from me! See you in a few fays friend,

[superwave]

Re: Can we have Chunky back pls kthnxbai

All I can say is that I know him personally, he's a very nice bloke and a great laugh.

Plus C has been a major/immense contributer to P & R's on [ms] : he had differences of opinion about running the section (he's very passionate about this which is understandable given the input he's had) + he can get controversial at times (as can others).

Hopefully he's back in 7 days and keeps within the boundaries needed

I agree, even when he is at the worst of opinions, he still contributes something.

+1..

The amount of quality old and timeless music i discovered thanks to him is inmense.. Very important MS member imo.. Sometimes i don't share his responses to some other members but well, don't think is a big deal either..

Merits aside, i think a 7 day warning over some incident maybe merited. Though, in the past, i have had him attack my online persona, i would say he does us a huge solid by sharing the sets he is privileged to obtain. One not outweighing the other is all im getting at!

Things with Chunky have been of late, a bit off the beaten path. As for folks against the US, I was more referring to the US bashing that goes on in there. Sorry if that came off wrong.

No not on MS!

i,m kinda residing to the idea that many of us need to get the fuck out more rather than sit @ computers all day arguing with each other, its just causing bother both mentally and physically

Hallelujah, but maybe a few hours a day, i mean, week.



The banning of chunky isn't surprising, yet it could be a massive mistake. For more reasons than just the sharing of old mixes. I am in favor of open opinions, so he sure be put the court of MS peers, or some crap.

Bring Back CHUNKY, he always had a contribution(bad & good).
