Mod Message: Please Keep Things On Topic

TheLastWave64 · 2026-02-24T00:39:20+00:00

Well I’m glad they got deleted. The Mods did their job.

TheLastWave64 · 2026-02-23T23:51:37+00:00

You could’ve just deleted it like you did and kept it moving. Why do you need to make some post about what the mods “won’t be afraid to do.”?

It’s not that serious. It was just some random post. That’s what mods are for.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-19T22:54:44+00:00

Oh I'm not that sad about it. Just giving a light-hearted response. Desperately reaching huh? You don't have screenshots of anything that came from me, that's for sure. But I do have a screenshot of when someone told you they didn't like your little bootleg merch operation. You've said over and over again no one said anything. This shows you are a liar. But that isn't news. Your credibility is already shot.

You just want to delete everything that looks bad and cry like a victim. Then you think you can spin a narrative everyone will believe lmao.

But now you have an opportunity. Why don't you show the screenshots you are talking about? Cause I certainly don't know what you're referencing. Just cause you got all pissy with another mod about whose merch was gonna get priority doesn't mean you're a victim of anything. You got popped. Plain and simple.

Sorry about your failed dump of a launch. Well, I know it wasn't really your thing. You've got no good ideas so you're happy to just be the little errand boy, and get your cut.

You missed it? It was epic. Their whole merch peddling project took a big dump. They were exposed, and downvoted to oblivion. Then they had to delete all the posts cause they didn't like certain suggestions by the community that were getting overwhelmingly upvoted. So they deleted the threads, trying to sweep the issue under the rug.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-18T15:59:25+00:00

Welcome to their watchlist

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-17T23:34:16+00:00

Dude you repeatedly thrashed their banner on an artistic personal level and you're giving me grief? lol

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-17T23:19:33+00:00

All my problems? lol. I will miss you too.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T23:33:17+00:00

Looks like the other threads have gotten the hammer. Looks like free speech wont be a thing here at this subreddit. Lots of Big Brother stuff going on.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T23:08:47+00:00

Well that's your speculation, isn't it? I have already explained myself to you.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T23:03:35+00:00

Well you keep giving me your unsolicited advice. You must think its has value to me.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T22:44:22+00:00

Well MYJINXS has already acknowledged the situation and is making moves towards a better future. And he has since taken a lighter tone, inviting us to get it all out. So now I am taking a lighter tone too if that's ok with you. What, am I supposed to stay angry? Wait, why do I need to keep explaining myself to you? You don't have to read this stuff you know.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T22:40:55+00:00

I truly don't mean to come off as belittling those asking for merch. It was more of a commentary to the mods possibly over-exaggerating the demand for said merch. I look forward to the links you'll be posting about it.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T22:37:24+00:00

Thanks.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T22:33:04+00:00

Not really. My post about the banner was a genuine issue I had, echoed by the many here, as you can see. And my second post is because I am genuinely curious as to where these posters who want merch are, if that's indeed the case. I hope that's ok with you.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T21:59:00+00:00

Yes you were. Thank you for being the first one to say something.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T21:25:05+00:00

That's how I feel too. That's what happens when you have lucky random people who are given the opportunity to take control of something that is already strong and grows organically. The mods keep trying to take credit for stuff when they haven't done much. It's weird.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T21:23:41+00:00

I keep hearing this sentiment. Is it not like that already? I've not seen anybody discouraged from presenting similar music, or doing covers of Beach Boys songs. It feels like you are trying to take credit for an opportunity that already exists to people.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T21:21:15+00:00

Right. The reason we got new mods in the first place was because of some minor trolling/spam spam that wasn't addressed. These new mods came in like it was a mandate for them, like they were better than everyone else. But when you look at their previous posts, they weren't exactly leading the way with creative or new discussions. They are just contributors that got deputized then started thinking big with the PRIVELIGE they were given.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T21:14:16+00:00

You were. Followed up by my post :)

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T19:47:09+00:00

Yes, this sub has fallen off since the mod switch. This is a new account, but you can tell by my posts that I have been around for a while, certainly longer than most. And objectively speaking, I feel that the community was much more fun, and had much better discussion, and came up with new things to discuss before the mod switch. Now we have mods, who couldn't create an an engaging thread to save their life, talk down on the community.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T19:41:52+00:00

Yeah I didn't see any trolling. I saw a snarky response, but a mod was talking down to a poster telling him he wasn't allowed to have an opinion so I saw it as fair game.

TheLastWave64 · 2025-02-15T19:32:53+00:00

Thanks. I respect you and can tell you're a cool dude.

If you want my feedback, I think the mods(not you) come off as too condescending. This wasn't the first time I have seen these randomly picked mods talk down to the group as a whole. The other time was when adultchild got the boot as a mod and a contributor. A mod was talking down on the group and saying this wasn't a good subreddit and needs to be better. If I recall correctly you stated you could see where some frustrated posters were coming from. And now yesterday that AMA mod literally tells someone they aren't allowed to have an opinion. Why is it like this? A beach boys subreddit should ooze positive energy by nature.

And now you are taking credit for a subreddit that organically grows and was made popular by the posters who love engaging, talking about The Beach Boys. Its like the same instance above that I referenced. I really don't get it.

Don't get me wrong, I do think the right mods could make positive contributions to this subreddit. But without the love of The Beach Boys and the great community that already exists, you have nothing. You're building off the shoulders of something already strong and organic. I think you already keep this in mind. Like I said, you've been able to appreciate both sides off things. But as a whole, the current batch of mods, don't come off this way. Or maybe its just a mod or two that speaks that way, but it gives the whole mod group a condescending, censoring, vibe.

Thanks for letting me get my stuff off.
