Well, i am very sad some of you feel us seniors "gang up" on people I guess that if you are nice, or if you are not (which i dont recall, but please enlighten me if i have !) that either way you cant please everyone. Guys, Just on the subject of our Seniors, all of them - in addition to their posting histories - contribute an awful lot to GMC both visibly and behind the scenes. In my opinion each and everyone one of them does an awful lot that we don't necessarily give them any where enough credit for. I also can't say as a mod (and I read all the forums as a mod) that I've ever seen any of them 'ganging up' on anyone. I actually find that insinuation quite offensive not least because they are nice people but because they try their best to help . Matt, and ALL our Seniors - guys you are AWESOME and you ROCK! (OK maybe not including me .) On the subect of employment contracts - a long time ago I worked as a Trade Union Strike Convenor and I currently am employed in a capacity where I lecture to Post Graduate students on Human Relations. The whole area of Employment Contracts is fraught and complicated. Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

1) This is not a football club! "We are cooler, they are cooler", makes me laugh!! Cool! ;-) 2) All contracts, as someone wisely said, should be signatured by hand and sent by mail, otherwise i don't really think they can be considered contracts at all effects 3) we could also be nice people making friends here on GMC, but in the end of the day we are paying customers, and we should be treated like that (with no banning from forums one has paid for, unless for injurying people ON THE FORUM) Contracts, that's Kris' headache, really. Then there are rules to follow no matter where you are, even if you're on a deserted island there might be rules against chopping down palm trees or lighten fires. Just because you pay the entrance fee to a night club you can't expect all night clubs to run by the same standars. One may allow the guy who passed out on the floor, another may kick him out. One guy said earlier he enjoy this forum since he can have his 11 yr old kid read above his shoulder without cussing and nudity popping up in threads. I was happy to see that because I for one have interpreted Kris' intentions with the forums to be for everyone and I have strived to uphold that standard. Anf by "for everyone" I mean that the adults will have to keep it clean for the least common denominator which are the kids. Sure, they already know all the bad words etc but if their parents know this is a clean place I'm confident they can peacefully let them hang here. And for parents with no control over where their kids spend their Internet time, at least this is a friendly place. For us adults I don't think it's a huge sacrifice to refrain from swearing, acting sexistic and posting nude pictures. If people want that, there's thousands of sites to choose from. I'd rather leand towards that a clean site like this one stays in minority. So I don't agree that paying equals complete freedom to rave. Just because you buy the lady a drink it doesn't mean you're free to do whatever you want. 4) btw, censoring is not so strict for other issues which can hurt as well people's sensitivity, like linking some kind of striking videos which are then seen by the youngsters, as I seen So first you want complete freedom since you've paid, but that puppy video should not be allowed? Please! 5) there's no way of getting upset by what people may say on the phone or on msn, it's their inviolable right and i have to underline that police has to get a mandate to look into one's private conversations, so how can anyone else do so? This is unacceptable and incredible and to me it sounds like an embarassing and scary censoring The whole picture is that there was a MSN gathering to damage or destroy GMC. They may of course speak of whatever subjects they please. But these plans came to actions against GMC and at that point we reacted. We had all right to do so since that was an attack against GMC. It had nothing to do with the discussions on MSN. It was the attacks we had to defend ourselves from. 6) Same thing is what is said on other sites, it's surely not nice to have people speaking badly of a gathering site but there's nothing to do but accept it 7) Gathering is normal in EVERY commercial entreprise and should be accepted as it is The MSN gathering was an Ill one. It was bad with evil intentions and since they were openly using GMC to damage GMC I don't see why we can't say it was bad? It certainly wasn't good. The gathering itself was never questioned, it was their deeds. Please understand they were actively working to destroy GMC, the site I read further down that you would still like to visit. A terrorist cell would be questioned as a gathering already and never accepted as it is. We're sweeter than that, we accept gatherings. 8) btw, my idea is that Pavel has done nothing wrong 'cause he didn't publish GMC material on another site, but brand new material, so copyright, to my mind, is ok That's your idea and as much as I hate to tell people their ideas and opinions are wrong I have to do so in this case. Pavel was aware of the rules since there was a call on the new contract some time ago now, he choose not to tell Kris he was also working for IG. Ask yourself - Why do you think he didn't tell Kris? The answer is, he knew he was breaking the contract. Surely he told Sean over at IG he still were with GMC and they probably had a laugh about it too. Just guessing about that last piece but I think I'm very close to the real truth. 9) personally i find this kind of climate quite scary, i have a "free spirit" philosophy so before I didn't have so many reasons to don't like GMC; but now I can have some more And that's perfectly fine with everyone. But make sure you base those reasons on facts. Just to be honest to yourself. 10) I didn't know that thing about instructors being paid for posts in the forum, but I don't like it 11) I think that the rules for instructors should be known by customers as well Do you like to see the instructors interact in the forums? Is that of value to you to get a reply from an instructor on a question you've got instead of having me reply something that's completely wrong. 11 - I don't think there are any big secrets. 12) Anyway, I'm not thinking about leaving the forum, I'll go on following video lessons which for me work pretty good. But if someone else goes away, instead of getting upset, one should ask himself why, and try to improve the quality of the site, under ALL aspects. I've said what I had to, may sound harsh but sorry, I'm an open person. There are different ways to approach a thing. One could post a suggestion for improvement in the forums, that will lead to a discussion, Kris whom it concerns may not even see it. There will just be replies like Ye and Nej and there's a risk in the end there's nothing. To lobby ones suggestion through a better way is to go striaght to the source, Kris (don't hate me for this if you get plenty of PM with suggestions now). You'd get a straight answer on wether it's doable and if so, when. A forum post with suggestion will have less chanse of being pulled though. MickeM cracks a brilliant idea during the coffee break, everybody cheers and pats his back but nothing comes out of it more than the satisfaction for MickeM which lasts a whole two days. A month later Angelica has been thinking of what Micke says and schedules a meeting with her boss, presents the idea with a plan of how to adopt it. The boss runs to the manager, the news ends up in the company newspaper, already there's a project group attending to solve the idea and Angelica gets a wealthy raise and a small bonus. ;-) I meant to say, enjoy the video lessons and crack new ideas. Any suggestions of improvements are welcome. -------------------- My bands homepage

I'd like to say few things about instructor contract.
I find it very easy to follow and understand,including few extra instructions in stuff board. It's all very clear and all we have to do is to inform GMC management if we're planing to teach somewhere else as well. That's pretty fair from my point of view. Then we sit and talk,look throughout all options,possibilities etc. So as far as I can see things, it's really hard to break those rules by coincidence or mistake. In life but in bussiness as well,the TRUST is really important. -------------------- Youtube

There really is no need to argue at all on this topic. When I first joined Gmc It was Kris and for the most part Pavel, other instructors were starting to post new lessons but alot of it was Kris and Pavel. Some of you are blowing things out of proportion and making the seniors look like "bullys" when in fact , you and I both know that they did nothing wrong. Together this is a wonderful place to hand out and have fun. We talk about are issues , guitar, life. In every way this is an awesome place and all arguing does is ruin it. Sure we did lose Pavel but some of you are acting like Gmc is destroyed. Kris is always finding great instructors and its not like all the work that Pavel did here is vanishing into thin air because he left. All his lessons (54 of them) are still here ! Who knows he might come back and visit but surely if you were Pavel you would want to do whats best for yourself ( Even if that means going to another site ! ) Everyone needs to stop arguing and chill. Lets get back to doing what we have been doing all along, having fun. I'll drink to that too!
