Awesome!

I thank you that you stopped.   The actual problem is it becomes a back and forth thing and never stops.

The karma is supposed to be a nice perk to have on the board not a constant, constant problem.   I can see getting back at someone but this case it just never stops.

Had any of you stopped and really let one person [could be anybody] that is a smiter, keep on smiting aside from the first back and forth, then that person that is constantly getting smited has more of a leg to stand on and we can actually do something, instead of he smited me for this and he smited me for that and then the other person says, well he smited me for this and he smited me for that - that is what the staff has to listen to and it's becoming constant and make both parties in the wrong and not one person stand in any better light then the other person.

Putting up the rules may have been a bit premature but even that wasn't listened to the first couple hours it was up.   So now the smiting feature has been disabled indefinitely.

WOW Mike Patton and Slash now that I'd like to hear 

That's a damn good list and people on that list I'd love to hear with Slash.

Lets see

Buckethead
Bruce Dickenson
Amy Lee [Evanescence]
Scott Ian
Bret Michaels - I'd love to see what they could come up with

James how do you know that her family wasn't middle class? 

I do agree that something should be done to this adult that created the myspace profile and was contacting this girl.  If I was that girls mother, I'd be out of my mind.

I have to definitely monitor my kids interaction on the net because now it's not just highschool in which bullying goes on, this is now another outlet for this, thus causing more pressure on teens that suffer from it.

We'll this is good news.  I am totally looking forward to checking this out.  I really didn't like Libertad so I am hoping Slash this will be something that I can totally enjoy coming from Slash with all different artists.
