Are There Too Many MJ Threads in the Music: Non-Prince Forum?

Some people don't mind coz they like, admire MJ or are a fan of his, or simply cannot stand the man.

But there's grumblings coming from orgers who say there are just too many MJ threads.

And no, don't even suggest a forum just for him lol

Now discuss.....

a lot of prince fans dont like MJ..and u no y, cuz MJ is the only who can even be compared 2 prince and hes competition, always has been 2 prince. im a fan of both, and NO there are not too many. I bet if sumone started posting a lot of threads of lets say...Madonna or Justin Timberlake, nobody would complain.

i'd say no, there are times when there are just as many madonna, britney or beyoce threads....there are some valid mj threads with subjects that are being discusssed...however, there is an issue with folks creating mj threads to bait mj fans or us mods of the forum and those threads (which tend to be silly in nature or rehashed topics) need to be dealt with...


but the minute we start censoring discussion is the minute the org jumps the shark....


and one last comment, its a bit hard to determine if there is something going on within a forum if you aren't an active member of that forum. dont you all think?

i should have been more specific...im only talking about "trend" type questions...like, "are there too many silly threads in gd"...only those who are consistent posters would know the answer.

Hell yeah! There are way too many. Aren't there sites for MJ just like this one? According to some on this site, MJ has the best fans int he world, so why haven't they started MJ.org??

i wouldnt say that.. cause you have alot of 'readers' .. who just choose not to post in silly threads, but see the nonsense.. some who are constantly posting.. dont seem to 'see' the pattern of silliness and they'll keep doing it.... (like the bait threads .. 'do u think Prince can fight?' silly type threads)

eek

I actually agree with you on all points.

Threads on his appearance in a magazine (i.e. the thread on Vogue Magazine), new album release details (i.e. the thread on the release of Thriller to celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary) or discussions on his music and performance (i.e. what songs and albums orgers like and dislike), I think, are perfectly valid, and should not be banned.

However, there are certain orgers who create threads such as "Michael Jackson Syndrome," "Michael Jackson, image complex?" "What if Michael Jackson was again black?" "Another way Michael Jackson is like Elvis Presley" (a thread a moderator closed because it was a race bait), etc. are incredibly irritating.

It seems that these orgers (the same people most of the time) enjoy watching the people who like and dislike Michael Jackson beat a dead horse.

Moreover, there are times when Michael Jackson-related threads go WAY off topic.

I have reported a number of Michael Jackson threads in my frustration (sorry again to the moderators for my excessive reporting). I think if the orgers report inappropriate threads, the number of Michael Jackson threads will diminish.

Another thing: there have been instances when certain orgers bumped a number of the Michael Jackson threads for the sole purpose of bumping Michael Jackson threads. In fact, one of those orgers admitted this in a thread entitled "Christ Almighty when did this become MichaelJackson.org?"
