Didymus 34,380 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 It's funny how such thing needs to be debated, you don't see rock fans claiming Nirvana did not bring alternative rock into the mainstream because Evanescence and Green Day made it trendy years after Nevermind was released. It's only pop fans that are completely clueless about their favorite genres history. Oh my. That clock is severe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a simple one word comment or a giggling emoticon in threads of other artists get WPs, then that sets the standard. These "carefully worded opinions" that call Gaga titles such as fake, liar, hypocrite, lazy, careless, etc. are looked at as "opinions". Opinions that some people are posting everyday... week after week, month after month. Why isn't this constant negativity towards Gaga on her own fanforum considered flamebait, when such minor comments are considered Flamebait when they are directed towards other artists? This is the source of some of the confusion! " BRAVO SIS TELL EM If someone posted :reductive: in a Gaga thread they'd be warned just like they'd be warned in a thread for another popstar.If someone posted an explanation about why they dislike something another artist did they would not be warned, just like they wouldn't be warned for doing the same in a thread about Gaga.

Didymus 34,380 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hi Kayla! Can I open a thread in Entertainment Section "Are you Over Madonna?" As a Madonna fan I will honestly tell you that it's perfectly fine to post that in the Madonna discussion thread Not as a separate thread though, because this is not a Madonna forum.

(Entertainment Talk would be the forum to do it, just make sure you are constructive in the OP and don't resort to insults- insults get flamebait warnings, constructive criticism does not. Know the difference.) The Whispering post you quoted I also responded to, so please read that for clarification.

Didymus 34,380 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Ok, I am going to try to open it as separate thread Idem to the "Are you Over Gaga" So two Madonna fans invite you to discuss your question in the appropriate thread and you refuse to cooperate just to get a rise out of people.

Didymus 34,380 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 @Kayla Explanation pls? I heard a moderator say not even long ago that the only threads about celebrities other than Gaga that are allowed are newsworthy items.Kayla just said me I can open that thread. fair rules for all DearIf it's allowed, fine, but I just don't get why you think it's fair yourself. This is a Gaga forum. A thread about being over Madonna belongs on a place like MadonnaNation.We all know you're doing this for the wrong reasons, so it's just a bit disappointing to me how you are so intent on posting the way you've been doing instead of letting **** go and have a good time, especially when me and Jjang are even fine with you putting Madonna on blast, in the right thread.But of course that blows your logic of "If we'd make a thread about your fav then you'd react the same way too" so you're gonna ignore our cooperation, but I hope you're at least seeing how you're being a pain in the ass intentionally and unnecessarily.

There's now an Entertainment Talk section for general Entertainment Conversation. You think a thread about being over Madonna is general EC? This brings up the entire problem that we used to have though If only Madonna fans are supposed to discuss in the Madonna thread, then you know that every other thread (that's not news related) is made by the people that hate her (meaning: it's flamebait). Anyway, if that's the way GGD works nowadays fine. But that's pretty ****ty if you ask me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't that minimize the problem of having Gaga hate threads though? I thought that's what you were battling this entire time.

Now you can open that in the Entertainment Talk section. You don't need a source or anything to open a thread...or you can use some loosely based article from a while back to open a thread.
