give me your feedback on "slammer", by junta on Dec 24, 2009 0:21:15 GMT 1, I'm only on here 6 months and when I arrived I had massive respect for you Silky, and the forum you provide. However as time went on I've been a little put off by what I consider manipulation of things on your part. Favouritism, hype, locking threads, deleting posts, making people unpersons. All part of running a forum I know but it's just the impression I've been given and it doesn't do the forum any good. In my opinion slammer has contributed a huge amount and it's a bit petty to flick him away like that.

Agree with all of that.
How about you stop being such an active moderator Silky and let the other moderators have some more power?
This stinks of a dictatorship.
It's obvious which galleries + artists (and forum members) you favour and are hyping to high heaven. And it's very cringe worthy.
You also act like a 5 year old if anybody disagrees with you. TBH i'm starting to think the forum would be a much better place without you..
I hope slammer (and the many others) would come back...but I doubt they would want to.
This forum is becoming a joke.
It's more like a market place for favoured galleries and artists to pimp their wares, than for art loving individuals to come and talk.

give me your feedback on "slammer", by barnsy on Dec 24, 2009 0:43:45 GMT 1, Personally, I feel this forum has become one big sales hall (despite my thread today offering for sale some of my collection, I don't do it often), full of people who want to make a fast buck, and that includes quite a lot of "i am genuine" types who have lots of stars, and finally even the gallery guys just want to promote and advertise. I guess thats just the way it is, in some ways sad but in other ways globalisation and abuse of the internet at its worst. peace

give me your feedback on "slammer", by sand on Dec 24, 2009 0:49:25 GMT 1, It would be nice if the main discussion board did not allow galleries / artists to pimp their new releases. Instead if a member wanted to discuss a new release, they could start a thread (wonder how many galleries would create duplicate accounts).
But more importantly, how about a clear list of forum rules and etiquette?
And also a list of rules / code of conduct that moderators have to follow.
Instead of a one man army (silky) stamping his authority any which way he chooses. A lot of the time completely unjustified and unfair.

give me your feedback on "slammer", by rosstierney on Dec 24, 2009 0:51:09 GMT 1, What would you be buying Ross? Surely its only worth the database of email addresses, which give very little about the ABC etc? How many actually still are live and then its only worth anything if they have chosen to opted in to ads/subs etc. And the Google listing, also where would your revenue come from? If your loosing ebay etc? I know its not about the monies, but I'm sure this site takes alot of mods :_) Just a trolls thought :-)
We'd be buying everything required to take full control of the forum. I have no interest in valuing certain aspects as I know he's put a lot of time into it as a whole. If he's prepared to name his 'buy it now' price, we'll go from there. I don't know about it requiring a lot of mods, he's moderated it by himself for long enough, along with his countless other forums. That's not to say there wouldn't be a lot of mods though.

At the end of the day it is what it is. It just flows along depending on whats news and whats going on with Artists and Galleries. Its a true view on what this scene is about, right or wrong, good or bad, its not hiding that people sell art, its not hiding Artists and Galleries come here to promote stuff. People choose what forum works best for them, and this seems to work best for most.

give me your feedback on "slammer", by Dr Bastard on Dec 24, 2009 1:42:33 GMT 1, Slammer' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
Slammer counted to infinity - twice.
Slammer does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Slammer goes killing.
If you can see Slammer, he can see you. If you can't see Slammer you may be only seconds away from death.
Slammer sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Slammerroundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.
When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Slammer.
Slammer built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Slammer met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement.
Slammer has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life there.
They once made a Slammer toilet paper, but it wouldn't take shit from anybody.
A blind man once stepped on Slammer' shoe. Slammer replied, "Don't you know who I am? I'm Slammer!" The mere mention of his name cured this man blindness. Sadly the first, last, and only thing this man ever saw, was a fatal roundhouse delivered by Slammer.

give me your feedback on "slammer", by Dr Bastard on Dec 24, 2009 1:47:24 GMT 1, Slammer is ten feet tall, weighs two-tons, breathes fire, and could eat a hammer and take a shotgun blast standing. Slammer is a man of few words. Slammer is not a man of few roundhouse kicks to the face. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse actually live in Slammer's nutsack. When observing a Slammer roundhouse kick in slow motion, one finds that Slammer actually rapes his victim in the ass, smokes a cigarette with Dennis Leary, and then roundhouse kicks them in the face. Slammer put humpty dumpty back together again, only to roundhouse kick him in the face. Later Chuck dined on scrambled eggs with all the king's horses and all the king's men. The king himself could not attend for unspecified reasons. Coincidentally, the autopsoy revealed the cause of death to be a roundhouse kick to the face. There is only one King. When Slammer played golf for money, chuck marked down a hole in 0 every time, a pro at the golf club, said to Chuck: "excuse me sir, but you cant score zero on a hole". Slammer turned towards the man and said, im Slammer, the man then proceeded to pour gas over his body and set himself on fire because that would be less painful than getting roundhouse kicked by Slammer, Slammer roundhouse kicked him in the face anyways.
Slammer made Ellen Degeneres straight. Slammer kicked Neo out of Zion , now Neo is "The Two" Slammer' iPod came with a real charger instead of just a USB cord Slammer knows where Carmen Sandiego is. Rudolph has a red nose because he got lippy and Slammer roundhouse kicked him across the face several times China was once bordering the United States, until Slammer roundhouse kicked it all the way through the Earth. Slammer is what Willis was talking about If you have five dollars and Slammer has five dollars, Slammer has more money than you. Slammer sent Jesus a birthday card on December 25th and it wasn't Jesusโ birthday. Jesus was to scared to correct Slammer and to this day December 25th is known as Jesus' birthday. When Slammer had surgery, the anesthesia was applied to the doctors. Slammer once broke the land speed record on a bicycle that was missing its chain and the back tire. Slammer once kicked a baby elephant into puberty Multiple people have died from Slammer giving them the finger.

give me your feedback on "slammer", by Sohoria on Dec 24, 2009 1:51:50 GMT 1, been watching this thread and others in the hope festive cheer calms everyone down...
alot of people speak to on here and respect them all...
people never met think of as friends and honestly do mean that.
silky is not the only person who can move and delete threads but is hard to do sometimes especially with disputes. apologies but i wouldnt want silky to sell the forum... to be honest if he did something wouldnt understand...
personally been through horrible year and im hoping things get better from now... there are alot of people who visit who have all had horrible news at some point with health or family and one of the reasons liked so much was the fact can speak to someone who you dont even know about the love of art...
might be silly to say but takes mind of things and for me actually helped... people say being called p**k etc doesnt hurt... im going to be honest someone was to write that about me obviously would be... dont think need for that language but just my opinion.
people say sharing the power but i dont think there is any power... this a forum about street art... i know so many possibly might quote me on that and reply back exactly but it is what it is... silky doesnt make the forum on its own... none of the mods.. its the whole group of people that visit this site each day that does....
artists that sometimes can be annoying who post in the wrong threads all contribute to certain degree... there was option to hit ignore which was introduced and think worked pretty well but sometimes im confused by what happens on here when a thread talking about art gets side tracked...
if silky wasnt admin and posted on the spqr thread didnt like the art work people would say thats your opinion... that is just me viewing what has happened last few days... two other members seem to be having some dispute i like both of them also and hope things calm down a little...
things always go in cycles and guess this is the bad time for silky but all i ask dont forget how much of a resource this forum actually is.. not to no single man or woman but as a whole..
whatever your religion thought now people would be happy with there health and knowing people love them rather than what has happened recently... asking someone to sell up i honestly cant back... just because this is not a company with shareholders... sure things could have been said more better but was a view point posted and seems to have just got caught in its own hype for the last few days....
i actually like all people on both sides of this argument but i wont return if silky sells up.... you cant ask someone who spent so many years before banksy became so popular after all the hours put in to do that... that is my honest opinion....
maybe people will say because i have a certain color star on the forum i am going to say that but even if i didnt i would...
again from the last two paragraphs people might research about politcial parties etc from history on the hold of power but what i say to that is this is art forum not a country or some entity fighting politcial battle....
i honestly dont mean to offend no one from me posting this neither.... as i said i dont have no bad feelings about no one.... if people are so angry by what has happened suggest take to pm rather than post anymore for the next two days...
its coming upto christmas.. and i will be honest words do hurt... what you tell kids sticks and stones is a old wives tale... hoping dont lose friends i have made on this forum by posting this but come on.... if your thinking this mirrors political problems seen around the world today all i can say is nothing is ever perfect... hand on heart dont wish to offend no one on this forum but hope next two days people can hold off... so much is going on right now all around the world and i can understand both viewpoints but this is a art forum and sometimes have feeling people associate what happens here with what is going on in the real world and it is not...
i want to end this on a good note... everyone spoken to on since my time first joining became good friends when spoken too via pm etc....silky.. mammal...CG....idris.. superman.... grantb... monkeyart (see what i did there lol)... alsbabar... ross... photoxtc... haveyn... wiz... wearology.., galleries blackratpress.... laz... carmichael gallery... upperplayground... pow....and many more...... all i say is tomorrow wake up... give family hug... tell someone close you love them and hope in reality next year is better year for people... s

give me your feedback on "slammer", by Wearology on Dec 24, 2009 2:26:13 GMT 1, JBOY / FREERANGE and I have settled our issue. He agreed to pay me the remaining balance for the DFACE / PUNK QUEEN piece on the 23rd and today I received the payment in full as promised. As far as I am concerned it is in the past and we all should move on. I never wanted to disrespect a member with over 5,700 posts or any member for that matter - and in retrospect I could have handled the situation a bit better on my part as well. Family issues, the economy, miscommunication - whatever the reason's transactions get screwed up, maybe we should put ourselves in other people' s situation before we are so quick to cast judgment. I can honestly say that Silky did not take sides publicly and if anything he was the voice of reason throughout the whole ordeal. Silky is a good man and I can not believe how much unwarranted verbal abuse he receives from our community. I hope you guys are lashing out at him like a child does to his parents with unconditional love. JAH LOVE

I for one am not interested in anything else - just the loss of another very knowledgable and trusted member. c

give me your feedback on "slammer", by ninja on Dec 24, 2009 3:20:30 GMT 1, I was reading the thread when Silky made his original post and to be fair I thought that it was well out of context within the thread and wasn't surprised that it led to some responses. I know that others do it on here but I can never see the point in commenting in a thread if it is simply to diss the piece with no sort of critique and I wouldn't have expected to see that from a Moderator, especially when it is likely to end up in a mess which needs to be cleared up.
Silky's post was quite clearly antagonistic when read within the context of the thread. I can understand why he is so keen for people to quote the offending post because it does not seem as childish or antagonistic when taken out of the context of that thread.
I don't know Slammer's motivation was but my own reaction to Silky's follow up in relation to SPQR, which was along the lines of 'if you dish it out then you have to be prepared to take it back', was that I almost posted something along the lines of Slammer's post, almost to take the heat out of the situation Silky had created in the thread. Having said that though quoting the dishing it out post and adding a smiley would have made that clearer.
As Silky has said in the now locked thread it always seems to kick off at this time of year on this forum. Perhaps it is the post Banksy release hangover, who knows? With that in mind I am even more surprised by Silky's posts in the SPQR thread.
To make it clear I don't know Slammer at all and I have only recently bought my first (very cheap) SPQR so I don't have any particular axe to grind here.
The forum will be a poorer place without people like Slammer so with that in mind I would suggest that Slammer and Silky should attempt to resolve their differences via PM, something which isn't possible if mods are so quick with the exclusion button.

give me your feedback on "slammer", by Heavyconsumer on Dec 24, 2009 5:11:00 GMT 1, I'm extremely disappointed and will greatly miss Slammer's input around here (couldn't believe it when I saw him listed as a guest and was just as shocked to read his controversial post - very out of character imo). I'm not confident that Silky will re-evaluate this situation and have no idea whether Slammer would choose to return were he able, but I am hoping against reason.
There are very few members who offer as much of themselves to this community as Slammer and Silky have done in my time here. It is so sad for all that to be ignored/forgotten because of one minor incident. At the end of the day, he was expressing his view that someone else here was out of line in something they'd posted and simply went the wrong way about it. It's happened to many of us here I'm sure - that's life sometimes.
There ain't too many members more worth forgiving than Slammer imo, so with some X-mas goodwill and a little luck, perhaps we can get back on track soon and put this situation in th past.

give me your feedback on "slammer", by eduarandres on Dec 24, 2009 8:43:26 GMT 1, Slammer should be allowed back He is a great guy i made a trade with him and it was the best ever He even gave me a tour of bristol on his car taking me to lots of spots to see banksy pieces, nick walker pieces and so on I personally dont like what silky said about SPQR if you dont like something just ignore but for someone to be selling prints at ยฃ5 its a good thing lots of people dont have the ยฃยฃยฃ to buy and then slammer should not have said that but dont think its just a reason to ban him, just delete his comment and send him a pm
SLAMMER HAS DONE 100 GOOD THINGS FOR OTHER FORUM MEMBERS
AND IT ONLY TOOK 1 COMMENT TO BAN HIM
TO ME THIS DONT LOOK RIGHT
BRING BACK SLAMMER !!!!!

give me your feedback on "slammer", by darrenrapley on Dec 24, 2009 9:19:42 GMT 1, Slammer was a good addition to this forum. Obviously up to you Silky but if there is anyway of letting him back in without either losing face or setting a precedent, you would be a decent guy.
Merry Xmas all!

give me your feedback on "slammer", by veralynn on Dec 24, 2009 9:26:02 GMT 1, Personally, I feel this forum has become one big sales hall (despite my thread today offering for sale some of my collection, I don't do it often), full of people who want to make a fast buck, and that includes quite a lot of "i am genuine" types who have lots of stars, and finally even the gallery guys just want to promote and advertise. I guess thats just the way it is, in some ways sad but in other ways globalisation and abuse of the internet at its worst. peace At the end of the day it is what it is. It just flows along depending on whats news and whats going on with Artists and Galleries. Its a true view on what this scene is about, right or wrong, good or bad, its not hiding that people sell art, its not hiding Artists and Galleries come here to promote stuff. People choose what forum works best for them, and this seems to work best for most.
The forum has 'evolved' over the last few years but I wouldn't readily agree that it 'just flows'.
It's regularly manipulated by 'old hands' with 5700 posts to serve their own purposes who appear to have little interest in the subject matter.
It's content is viewed by 000's and only a handful ever post - those who offer information often find themselves prejudiced by their own acts of kindness - then other members are surprised when people get the arse ache when they miss out.
Acts of kindness (Wear's) don't get rewarded like they might, instead they get shafted and it takes months to sort out (I don't think the public flogging was necessary but on the other hand new members should have some kind of insight into the goings on).
The person who runs the Forum has a gentle dig at someone's friend, then that person has a dig back and he gets banned - absolute disgrace.
Pretty clear that the consensus view is that the forum would welcome Slammer back, last time I looked we lived in a democratic state....
