Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

Maybe banning Storf from the sub would be helpful? His presence is a lightning rod for anyone who feels wronged by VMP. Not only that, but the fact that VMP has an actual presence with an employee at his level on the sub every single day probably is not helpful for the sub in general, mostly because it makes that the place where people will angrily react instead of just emailing or going to one of the VMP official social media accounts.

And does anyone actually believe that Storf's presence is ONLY because he loves hanging out and talking about the releases with people? At what point does Storf grow a beard, a weird accent, start referring to himself as a jazzbo and telling everyone to smile more and spin a record? Is it at all believable that him using the sub to stoke the fires of FOMO is not something that comes up in his yearly reviews, at the very least?

Yearly reviews at vmp! Lol
 
Thank you for sharing, @Btsvinylfarm

That pizza post is GOLD. So well done. Please repost that to Reddit - it needs to be shared. Amazing writing.

EDIT: So wait, did this pizza post have to do with Matt from VMP? How does that come into play? I'm trying to catch up and connect some dots.

EDIT AGAIN: So this amazing, creative Pizza post came down, but we can all make the same separate threads of the same VMP record regarding "hey my record came, check out the kewl color!"

Yeah man I guess sure I mean if that’s what you’ve taken from everything said here so far. That’s why there’s no negativity on the VMP sub whatsoever anymore and all the top posts are positive and Storf has never been downvoted

Still haven’t found any previous contact/messages containing a warning that calling storf out was against the rules. You said that the ban wasn’t arbitrary or the first response. Feel free to respond to my reddit message responding to the ban with that info. 🤗

Man I already said I had nothing to do with that ban, I’m just going off of what others have said. Although I’m sure directly and personally calling him useless and pathetic multiple times unprovoked had something to do with it, I’ve already said a few times it wasn’t my call

I feel like maybe you’re looking for reasons to reject reality? I remember my popular local pizza joint that went down hill and lost 90% of it’s business but was still able to keep the lights on because of the few old customers that still felt comforted by the memory of what used to be.

I think the tomato just wants an apology for your misstatement about their behavior. While you have said it wasn’t your call, you also stated that the person whom was banned, @timmy tomato, was banned after warnings and repeated behavior. It’s cool if you didn’t ban them. But you did come in here and state that @timmy tomato is a plain ol’ bad apple.

because the mod wanted it in the overall sticky "fuck everything VMP is doing" thread they made to stop the reddit from being nothing but that

Yeah, but pizza.

I mean, it's universal. It transcends complaints.

Also, that sub could use a day or two where it doesn't take itself so damn seriously. It's not an official VMP platform, they shouldn't have to act like one. Some shit posting to lighten the mood should be allowed.

Can't say this enough. We're a small and (not so) humble state, but if you've never had a slice of New Haven Apizza and you think we're cowering in the shadow of our metropolitan giant, NYC, then you need to get to Pepe's or Sally's (none of this is hyperbole...this is 100% fact)

Pizza at the Brick Oven is my go-to. Quick, casual never any lines and amazing pizza. I’m not saying the others are not good but they can be a hassle with waiting/ordering.

Oh yea, there's tons of good pizza in southern CT. Those 2 are just the most famous/been on TV.

For sure. New Haven is secretly or not so secretly, the pizza capital of America. New Haven has many amazing places, whether its the giants or some off the beaten path. Really high consistency throughout that area. Colony chain is great too.

Pepe's Bridgeport is the one people love now.
The owner of the one in New Haven made some shitty comments that supported gun nuts and white supremacy, sooooooo many of us won't use it anymore.
Too bad Bridgeport tastes better and has less wait time... oh... wait...

I actively look forward to eating Connecticut pizza when I go home to my parents house for Holidays. I had terrible pizza a few weeks ago in Vermont and it was extremely upsetting. The worst pizza in CT is probably better than the best pizza in most states.
