Not just the recent antics of JAroen and Rephlexual, the constant bitching, Long running petty fueds of members, spamming etc.
I really thought a lot more highly of the people here.

I am with you on that,Ceri.
Nobody replies to anything remotely music related. Ceri,you guys should take much stronger action.I know it shouldn't have to come to this,but It is much-needed.

I don't flea.. but I would rather you kept your anti war stuff to one thread. I understand you feel very strongly about it, but the sheer quantity of threads could be considered spamming. Please keep it to one thread, thanks mate.

yes ban flea!
only joking, what would be good is if there was a ban on all topics relating to the war, they all end up with arguaments. How about closing any war topics started, or just as soon as they get out of hand?

maybe it's aphextwin.nu spirit that has left us. Back in the days when there was in fact an aphextwin.nu website.
Since the delay of xltronic it's just the mb, maybe it's missing some kind of website spirit. We need xltronic to produce more quality topics =)
Maybe it'll give back the feeling to this mb.

maybe, but I'm talking about the spirit back when aphextwin.nu was still online. Now that was fun! I haven't been posting as much here as I did in the .nu times, just because it's different. The threads are less interesting, the spirit has left.

What do you want me to do? Ban people because they have a different POV?
I've asked flea to stop making new war topics and if it persists I will have to take other action.
It's not just the war topics. Bitchy little comments attached to every post in a "rival's" thread (not talking about flea now), I feel there is too much crap to sort out. I feel like someone trying to fight back a tide using a bucket.
I know people will see it as an echo of planet-mus board, but it's getting so bad that I almost feel the site should be closed for a while to give people a chance to cool off.

thanks Ceri, its better than nothing. I just wish there were no topics at all about the war, this is meant to be a music messageboard, and maybe a place some people come to get away from the war only to see most threads on it!
Is it possible to just close any topics started relating to the war?

I think it's a good thing that there are no "sections" on this messageboard, others might not agree though.
I think most topics are fun to read, eventough a lot of them are unrelated to music.

This looks to me like some prowar people are uncomfortable with the differing points of view...btw there is a war going on and blacking out topics on war is turning a blind eye to reality. I remember polling a Xltronic poll about the war. Its seems to me that people may just be uncomfortable with the fact that the media proproganda is at its highest...I will note here that some electronic artists such as Aphex Twin, Autchere, Massive Attack as well as Warp with its Bushwacked are making statements about this illegal war. War is on the psyche of the entire world and more so on the minds of writers, artists, poets, actors and musicans. Being more sensitive to the human condition as a rule.

With respect Red, I know you and flea see me as pro war. That fact has nothing to do with why I said no more anti war topics... I love architecture (shit, this is going to sound like a crack att Nacmat, it's not!), but if every other thread was about it a similar ruling would be made. As I said, this is, ultimately a music board. Some deviation from topics is to be expected and tolerated, it's when the board becomes about something else entirely it becomes a problem.
Because of the huge diversity in POV on this matter amongst members the war topics fuel flame wars among members. If you (and that goes to the pro war camp too) must insist on debating it here, keep it to the existing topics. It's unfair to expect people who have no interest in war to have to trawl through so many topics (which are ultimately about the same thing) to find "normal" ones.

Ceri I have deep respect for you as a moderator and we both respect your opinions on any topic and agree that the board is looking a bit like a war zone itself...its looks to me just a little unfair that the people complaining about it the most are the pro war people it could look as if you could be seens asfavoring their wish to suppress anything they dont want to hear (pantalimon and his tempoary ban idea in particular) but I think it is a good idea to keep these discussions to a few threads to optimise the boards efficiency...I think the biggest problem you have right now is the annoying, bandwidth chewing empty threads and the attempts to undermine the coding of the board...exercising some bans in this area may alleviate this problem with the board going to shit...
I think also people need a break and need to calm down

Perhaps you're right- I think the number of "nonsense" threads are the real problem...
I can understand that it could look like I was stopping the war threads as a way of silencing your POV. Whilst I can see that, I don't by any stretch of the imagination think that being able to delete threads here etc. is any sort of power- it's not like people are going to think the war is justified as a result of not seeing any of the anti war argument just because I limited the war threads here.
I hope Flea knows I wouldn't ban him without a warning first and he has my word that I won't provided there aren't any new war threads created, at least for a while...
