Sincere question on recently closed threads

JH6056

I've been away from the board and just read several threads very upset about the ticket prices, PJ Premium tix, etc.  Most people are just telling their experiences and their opinions on it. Yes, many are upset, but hardly anyone is being rude or abusive.

Of all bands I'm really surprised that those threads are closed without any reason stated or which forum rule they violated explained. Kat and Sea when you close threads don't you usually say why you're closing them?  I don't understand why fans sharing sincere concerns, opinions, and experiences with recent ticket onsales are censored here, on PJ's discussion forum.  Does the band not want to know what fans think?

Sincere question, why are these discussions getting shut down?

1 or 2 threads to commiserate is enough wouldn’t you say? Do we need 20 individual threads all about the same experience crowding out other non-ticket related discussions?

It's a REALLY big issue. A pretty big departure (not this tour & prices alone, but recent ones). Maybe merge them into one or two threads, but shutting them down with no comment? That is not how it usually happens here.

There is an almost insurmountable level of bitching I think they are just trying to keep the forum organized as 2 feigns stated above.

Censorship is cool again. Try and be more progressive.

They didn't keep anyone from posting. That would be censorship. They just said go post on the thread that's already open, rather than starting a new one about the same thing.

Perhaps you would be so kind to point out the thread that was already "open" that would correspond to

What's the difference between Pearl Jam and a Scalper?

i had a thread closed

https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/297896/verified-fans-tickets-getting-more-tickets-in-the-hands-of-fans#latest




not sure what rules where broken....i pointed out TM's and the band's insane prices....was I sarcastic ?  absolutely 

https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/228366/forum-posting-guidelines#latest

expressing one's frustration about the band's TM hypocrisy  etc seems to be a non starter.

if it's not censorship i'm not sure what is

Since the webcrawler days back when I used to listen to No Code on a Panasonic disc man I am pretty sure moderators of internet discussion boards / forums have discouraged users creating multiple threads about the same subject

at THEIR discretion... I see multiple posts about the same thing with positive, pro band opinions, experiences etc

it's the negative ones that get closed

More threads about the same thing get made when you don’t want to sift through the 20 existing threads. Thread control friends. Thread control. ❤️

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
If you guessed this one is not like the others,
Then you're absolutely...right!

People like to start their own thread because they think their own comments about tickets are special and unique. They don't want their comments to get lost in the shuffle of the other comments in the main thread about tickets. It's basically a "LOOK AT ME" thing. Then when it gets closed or merged, they get mad and cry about being censored because they are fragile as fuck.

Bingo.

Unfortunately, you may be correct. People don't like to be criticized. China, Russia and any other entity that has the power to shut down something they don't like being said about them.

perhaps you're right...could also be they (me) think they have something valid to share 

fwiw...i got the pair of GA I wanted in the 10C lotto, Stoked ... my motivation is to point out the hypocrisy of pearl jam the corporation...also, consider this...if a thread is closed down due to criticism of 10C/PJ....who's the fragile one?

If it was censorship wouldn’t they be deleting individual critical comments from the main threads on this topic?   Get a grip people.  They’re just deleting duplicate threads as per the forum guidelines.  No different than every other moderated discussion board on the internet.
