On Permarockering and Instrument Specialization

Is it just me, or are top drummers more likely to get permarockered than top players on any other instrument? I can name more permarockers/ex-permarockers that are top drummers than top players of every other instrument combined. I have nothing against the SH drum community - this is something I just noticed.

A lot of them seem a little dim on the idea of good posting. Could happen to anyone.

Well hey, there's always the old stereotype that drummers are the dumbest of all musicians...maybe this case is proving to be true? xP (kidding)

I think the recent explosion of permarockers on the blue side in particular was kind of silly. Quote tunneling is dumb as shit, but there were no warnings given whatsoever.
Just as a personal belief, a mod PMing or posting towards someone and asking them to stop postwhoring, quote tunneling, or whatever, is more more effective than permarockering them. PRing someone just makes them mad, it doesn't make them genuinely want to make their posts better. As a matter of fact it does the opposite, people who have been perma'd never expect to be un perma'd, so they really no longer are motivated to post intelligently. I think permarockering as an institution just doesn't work and should be removed altogether.

There are much better ways to deal with these problems, from what I can see. I'll use elite as an example because we're blue side brothers and I know he won't be offended. If I were a mod, I think rather than permarockering him without warning, if I was displeased with his posts I would send a PM or a post in his accs thread something like "Hey elite, could you please use proper spelling, grammar, and capitalization in your posts in the future? It makes them easier to read for the rest of the users, and makes the site look more professional. Thanks."

Just my two cents, with I'm aware isn't even worth two cents not being a mod. I'll call it my two Yen. Which is like .04 cents xP

IMO if someone is post whoring to raise their post count and therefore their rank, then permarocking them is an appropriate response. I don't think it's productive for reasons unrelated to post count however. If someone is just an idiot and posts nonsense, they might not even realize theyve been permarockered. Some people don't even look at their post count or care about their rank.

Anyone care to explain to me what happened in elite's thread?
