Any of you dudes get banned from TGP?..Why?

It’s more than a couple people at this point, it’s a total hive mind clusterfuck. You’re mostly safe as long as you stick to the actual gear related subforums, but even there you have to be wary of the people who find it virtuous to be offended by everything-and who attack those they find offensive. If you have an opinion on ANYTHING that isn’t in lockstep with the herd, you either keep it to yourself or expect to get attacked.

And no jokes about brands. Or what a brand says about a person.

That's where it becomes obvious that you have paid posters shilling for manufacturers/defending any negative remarks against certain products.

It goes beyond "fanboi" with some of these accounts.

Yep. Just look at all of the brand new members that showed up for the launch of the TMP. There was only one small thread at the time, so I find it hard to believe that a google search brought that many people in overnight. And all of them praising the shit out of the unit like a bunch of middle management zombies kissing corporate ass at the company picnic.
 
Couldn’t this also be the brands themselves pushing this via the known channels?

What channels are there, YouTube, a couple of gear forums and Reddit.

I don’t think many guitar / amp / pedal brands have really more channels than that.

Whatever it is, I find a lot of it to be kinda sketchy. Somebody buys aTMP, then seeks out a gear forum to gush about it? Seems to me that if a person is going to get involved in a gear forum, they would most likely also use the same forums to do a bit of pre sale research. And if you’re actively researching floor modelers in the $1500 price range, you’re going to know which units are fairly mature and which are experiencing teething pains.

Yeah I agree.

Normal would be to ask about a gear and maybe later give an update that you bought it

I would not go on a forum to tell I love something I just bought

That is for Reddit hahaha

Not just the over-the-top praise, but also the gaslighting and condescending attitude toward people who are bringing up issues with the unit. See also: Neural Quad Cortex launch.

Yeah very inpatient. I know I am really a beginner in helix land and may even be the worst guitar player on this forum, but there is so much patience here and just genuinely helpful people. On a couple of good ones there it’s really bad.

This forum is basically populated by people who get along well with others. There’s apparently no room for that kind of behavior at The Other Place.

That's the "inner circle circle-jerk" right there.

I don't ever visit that thread. Circle jerk is right. Not my scene.

And what do you do if little bro has a fight with older bro. You tell them both to STFU so you can play guitar like a good dad.

Maybe that is what TGP does right. If you don't act like you belong here, gtfo. And I am pretty happy with that. But maybe it;s just a couple of rotten apples there that ruin the overal vibe. Most of them must also be active here and this forum is really friendly and funny and helpful.

This would be fine...except I was penalized for saying that I didn't like a particular YT channel(a certain person whose last name rhymes with Shill) and was tagged for that. If I don't like something, I will say that. What business is it of theirs?

The only person you’re allowed to dislike is Nugent. Otherwise, they’ll report you for musician bashing.
