Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:Here’s my TOM. I think it has four purples for accents. Acceptable?
I think that looks amazing. That’s why I think the blanket statement of “whites only for GI” just doesn’t always hold true. But....warm whites and cool whites are def the safe bet.

You guys keep saying it’s a “club thread” and it’s all in good fun. That’s great. It seems like a lot of these clown puke pics that have been posted are people’s current personal games. Are you guys going into their game room profiles and getting these pics out of their profiles? Yes some are just rando pics off of FB and eBay but some of these are directly out of people’s Pinside profiles. You make fun of them to a point of almost calling the owners stupid. Then you wonder why people are getting upset and defending themselves. How would you like it if someone started an OT club thread of stupid cities and states to live in. Then they targeted your personal city from your profile? You probably wouldn’t like it very much. But it would all be in good fun right??
My point is let people do whatever the F$&@ they want!! Who cares!!! Seriously. rant over
Quoted from RJW:This isn't an OT thread, it's quite relevant to pinball.
Secondly, you said it yourself, "who cares". I'll never understand why people get themselves worked into such a lather because of some random person's opinion on the internet.
You say let people do whatever they want but I guess that doesn't include posting in this thread.
It absolutely lets people post in this thread. I never said to shut this thread down. I am merely saying don’t get all bent out of shape when someone defends their game when you guys go digging in their profiles for games to make fun of. Oh and I’ll switch my city hate thread to a non off topic thread then lol. And also another observation on this thread. What is the point of the poll if no one except “artists” are allowed in here? 
Quoted from MustangPaul:You saw what they did to me didn't you. Here I thought I was in good standing with other Pinside members.
I know brotha lol. They keep saying “it’s all in good fun” lol. But come on.....you can only push someone around, poke fun, joke around or whatever you want to call it before said person is gonna have enough and stand up for their decisions (led choices in this case) and argue back. It’s that simple. Club thread or not, it’s not a secret society that requires a secret handshake to come in here and express opinions. Just to be very clear here....this thread has become AWESOME reading lololol. I’m having a blast in here. But once again, what was the point of a poll if you don’t want anybody’s opinions except the white light purists?
Quoted from irobot:I don't think it's "all in good fun". Posting a picture of a game and saying it looks like crap is pretty hard to present as "happy friendly fun".
At best it's it can be considered honest.
If someone makes an "I hate clown puke" thread and you're offended by it, maybe you're being a little over-sensitive.
Remember that the clown puking dramatically changes the look of the game, a certain percentage of people are going to hate it even if they are too polite to say so.
Yeah but people are attacking Pinside members PERSONAL games though. Key word is personal here. It means something to them, they happen to like that look or they wouldn’t have done it. People aren’t offended until you make it personal (ie post pics of their games). Turn the tables man, an “I Hate White GI Club thread” and ALL of you guys would be in there defending white GI. You know it’s true lol. And also for the record I’m not offended one bit. Just having a fun discussion with some pinball people. This whole thread reminds me of the black/blue dress vs white/gold dress argument!! Remember that?? Basically people’s eyes all see differently. Some people saw blue/black and some people legit saw white/gold. Coloring a pin truly looks good to some people. Maybe their eyes will change one day and the color of the dress will change to all white with some warm white accents!!! Lolol 
I’m 100% with you Law. Most of the people in this thread are just having a discussion including me. I’m not the slightest bit offended. Seriously I’m not. I’m just playing some MET with my wife and commenting between games haha. All that I’m trying to say is people in this club can’t be surprised when they get a rise out of people defending their games that are being made fun of. It’s gonna happen. Most people don’t care and it’s just a friendly banter/discussion between some enthusiasts. But as Red would say....”That’s Pinball For Ya”
Quoted from Taxman:Drain the threads that are a topic that upsets you. It is that easy. If you come to a thread and get into arguments because you don't like the topic you are the troll.
Pinstadium has his thread. People who like his product are discussing and posting pictures they think look great. I think most look horrible. But I don't post in that thread. I look and laugh to myself. I don't get upset that they like the look and I don't upset them with my opinion in their thread. Everyone is happy.
This thread is for people who prefer white light and the way it looks. We don't like overbearing color. Why don't you laugh and move on? At first I thought it was funny and seeing people justify the look was entertaining. Now that it has gotten personal maybe moderation is needed.
Paul went over in the other thread complaining about his feeling being hurt here. Pinstadium gave a great reply about not having time for it and he moved on. Good for him.
I think these pictures are ugly. But that is a personal preference. I think many of the light mods make it harder to play and even hurt my old eyes. Sorry, I can't change my age or the fact that I experience real pain. This is not an opinion but a fact. I also play competition pinball where we stream the games on the internet. This interferes with the cameras also. I have many reason to not like these games.
I agree with this thread. I am here to laugh and discuss the topic with like minded people. Once again look in the mirror. If you came here because you disagree with the topic you are the troll.
Totally agree agree with you brotha. However, THE POLL is inviting people in here lolol. Why is there even a poll if you don’t want anyone else in here? One of the poll options even says you can stay! lolol
Quoted from Mitch:I think you need to re read the poll a little closer.
Mitch this is a good thread btw! I’m just seriously confused why you want people’s opinions via poll only? They can’t give their opinions via words? Just leave a vote and they have to move along? The only people allowed to speak are the people who vote for the first choice? These are just questions I am seriously wondering about. I mean no disrespect. I love white LEDs as much as you guys but I also like a little color. I’m right in the middle of this lighting discussion. My MET is all stock lighting and my BSD has color LEDs. I love them both the way they are. So that makes me the third choice on the poll. Yaayyyyyyy I’m allowed to stay lolol.
