| Say for instance I didn't like the next Snob video, maybe I didn't like some new theme song or something. If I come on this board and go, hey not a fan of that new theme song I prefer the normal one. Am I going to be labeled a troll and get banned, or will I get a nice conversation and feedback?
Cause being as this is a new forum I'd like to get in on this, but I don't want to post here if this place is a no criticism zone. |

So long as you're polite and fair about you're criticism, I don't foresee any problems. |

| I think I've seen Brad state a couple of times that he is very open to criticism. Just be constructive, not an ass-clown.

| Well I'm more than happy to keep my end of that bargain. I was just being hypothetical by the way, I don't actually have any criticisms, it's just I know a lot of the boards around other TGWTG personalities... aren't quite as open to anything that isn't blind praise.
Glad to join up. Sorry for making a new thread on my first post, I know that's bad etiquette, but I just wanted to make sure this was a place I'd actually want to post. |

| I know where you are coming from. This is actually the only forum for a internet personality where I have a registration. The other places are just not worth my time or attention. |

| More popular boards that get a lot of traffic tend to frown on people making new threads before the poster gets used to the rules and how people like to act. This is kind of a brand new board though, so I guess we're kind of in the genesis of all of that any way. |

That would be because they are pussies...I'm looking at you, Handsome Tom.

It may also have something to do with the fact that there are no mods. |

But I don't think he's ever actually complained about any of our activities. Granted, the forum's only been up for a few day, but if those couple of days are any indication, he seems content to let us talk and be merry. |

Well based on the kind of guy Brad is I very much doubt he'll be ruling us with an iron fist... |

| The only moderation I've noticed here is Brad deleted one of my posts, and I essentially started the post by saying he's welcome to delete it if he didn't want the info out considering it had to do with blocking ads on blip.tv
Anything related to people discussing Brad's stuff, and all of the other internet reviewers had remained in tact even if it was something about not liking somebody.
I think it mostly depends on how the information is presented.
For example it would be acceptable to say the following:
"I felt the Snob's latest video wasn't very good, as it focused too much on his love of Crystal Pepsi rather than being snobbish as I've enjoyed previously"
This probably wouldn't be accepted or well received by him or the fans:
"I didn't like his video so I hope he gets cancer."
So, so long as you do it like example 1 and less like example 2 I doubt anybody is gonna throw a fit. Though, I can understand you being a little worried. I've read stuff about Spoony's forum that makes it sound like not blindly liking everything is a bannable offense. I don't actually post there though so I can't personally verify. |

I take it Spoony abuses the Banhammer. |

On Spoony's forum it works like this.
Spoony can take criticism and often change his work based on it. Spoonys more "crazy" fans yell out everyone who attempts to criticize Spoony at all. |
