Go back to the Telecaster thread, you're doing much better in that one.

Seeing as someone nice has got this thread going again, I will add a photo of my shitty strat:

It was my first ever guitar which I got when I was 9! A Tanglewood something in a trans green colour. Looked the part but sounded shit.

ughhhh.

that green is GRIM.

9 though, that thing must have seemed HUGE.

can we start a voting system, where if more than 40% of members with 300 or more posts particularly dont want someone around, they are just banhammered no questions asked?

im modelling this on whole foods, where i work. the place is shit but ive always been a fan of this policy.

William, I think you're the last person that should be blethering on about the worth of others to the forum. And shortscale will never have a system like that, any Ban talk from Hurb in this thread was tongue firmly in cheek, we do not roll like that.

Why three hundred? You've contributed nothing much to the fourm beyond odd conjecture about what makes mega tone and how good your guitars are. You are also a bit of a noob. I don't remember you from Jag-stang and I don't really care.

If you want to change things around here you need to up your game and give the rest of shortscale a reason to listen to you. We don't have a reason yet.

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 12:48 pm

if you're gonna set a post count it should be more like 5,000.
300 isn't much, there are a ton of people who've got 300 posts or more. i still class myself as a noob and i've been here a year.

that system would be ridiculous to implement too. you'd need some sort of poll topic limited to members with enough posts and then you'd need to decide on a time frame for the poll and it would overall take alot longer than a few mods agreeing someone is a twat and needs a good kicking.

if we have a system like that we're moving closer to the NO FUN ALLOWED policy half the forums on the internet seem to have in place.

hahah yeah. I remember at the time I went to get it we tried it out expecting to get a half size one or 3/4 sized.. but for some reason a full size one was fine.

because, "they are just banhammered no questions" is no reason to ban anyone on here. say 40% of people hated you and you had 299 posts and you just got banned out of the blue. would'nt you say it was unfair?
and the definition of fair being we all have a right to post here and not be banned. some people like tribi9 post here and a lot of people dont like him but wasn't banned because he did nothing wrong.

this may work where you work but i dont think dots, mike, or any admin/mods will agree with this here.

I was with you on the middle pup issue before I actually got the strat (going on the experience of my old squier), but now I seem to be using it loads. Sounds great.

i think you might want to double check that one, i'm fairly sure he's been zapped.

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 2:42 pm

ahem

whether or not tribi9 did something wrong is open to debate i think you'll find. he broke a sort of unwritten rule about getting deals on shortscale and then flipping them without asking.
