Stop. Think. Type.

A simple rule of thumb

Once again, what started as a reasonable request turns into a bun fight and the blog gets deleted. We may well have lost an NWB user too.

Some people in here have a serious chip on their shoulder. Just think, what might not be an attractive proposition to you, might be suitable for someone else.

That's the censorship started, which is what I dearly didn't want to happen but some people just will not take the hint. But if it means a more harmonious site then so be it. Please can I ask the moderators to use common sense when deleting blogs and to ensure that anyone who has posted inappropriate material is advised of the reason. This is a sad day for nwb, but it was coming.

There's no censorship on NWB if you adhere to the T&Cs. This site isnt a free for all.

If you cant abide by the site terms, then £$%£ off! - simple as.

If that's your attitude Paul then consider me an ex member. All I have ever tried to do is have fun on this site, make friends and enjoy the music.

easy Scott,
thats all we are here for, Mr NWB's does have a job to do and fair play he does it well, keeps us all in check.
sometimes we do get carried away, especaily when someone winds us up the wrong way and I do feel we have the right to speak our minds, this is why I like the comment STOP, THINK, TYPE!!
I too perhaps went a little far with a comment, I did try to keep it funny, but what I think is funny may be seen as not by someone else.
hense it being removed.

lets all sit back relax and go with the flow.
I for one really enjoy this site, the people on it and the chat that goes on,
lets just do what we doi best, chat, tell each other where we are at the weekend, sell, buy and ask how places and gigs are, and sometimes have a laugh.

Marc.

I don't know how the blog got deleted. It could have been a mod, it could have been the originator.

Regardless, it turned into another episode of the covers/originals discussion that has been doing the rounds on here for some time. Not long after it decended into a bun fight.

So far (to the best of my knowledge) NWB members have alienated two venues and one promoter by taking exception to them and the way they run their businesses. It should not be the right nor the place of NWB members to tell people how to run their businesses.

The way I see it, If someone has upset you in any way you should feel free to "advise" other bands on NWB so they can react to the situation as they see appropriate. Allegations, incidents and speculation should be kept in private messages as per the terms and conditions. Anyone who fails to do so, risks the reputation of NWB.

Some of the recent witch hunts have been personal, unnecessary and may have robbed other members of NWB of opportunities which they would normally be grateful for.

As for Scott. He's a respected member of this site and I will be sorry to see him go if that's what he chooses. In my honest opinion, Mr NWB may have gone slightly over the top, but I've sensed his frustration growing for some time. We all saw the recent blog. I can only imagine his frustration got the better of him today.

For clarification - I've not deleted any blogs or comments for the past few days, so I assume the blog originator deleted it off.
