One repeatedly cited problem is the volume of posts of a typical boring chatroom nature. To fix this (to force people to put thought, wit and art in their writing) limit each member to, say, 1 topic starters and 8 replies per day. This place could really be great in my opinion if threads changed from being spur of the moment, to well thought out in, say microsoft word, and then posted. It should not matter if any writing is intended as informative, humorous or deliberately pointless. |

I don't like your idea. |

impossible. so you start a thread, a nice one... but 8 hours later you want or need to post a new one, a new thread, it is very important but you cant, cos you already started one.... sounds dificult... |

good point. |

absolutely fucking not, but I think you're just fooling around, like Joyrex with that "message size lower limit" suggestion ;D |

You have to think differently from how it currently is. It would operate differently but it would be better in my opinion. One thing you should realize is that NOTHING is so important that it can't wait for one day. (oh no I'm sick and dying and have 23 hours to live. I wish I didn't make that last post so I can waste my last bit of time doing what I have ALWAYS wasted it doing... posting messages.. NOthing is that important. People are born and die all the time anyway which probably has nothing to do with the point (which I forgot) Think about it. Relevent things in time happen slowly as far as information regarding music is concerned. And as far as other types of writing, they are more fun to read and write when composed with thought and time. Person A feels that something is so important that it must be posted in HIS/HER opinion, but persons BCDEFG.. feel the same way about different equally unimportant posts. My idea will never happen, but so what. uuuummm... I forget what else I was saying. |

Our unhealthy mutual addiction could be toned down a notch. AND we could have a better time for the shorter period of time we spend here. |
||||||||

|

so it costs less time to buy a better time. how convenient! |

and of course another idea is coming up with a better name than xltronic. It wouldn't be so stupid if it was just a made up name. But how it tries to spell excellent in a cryptic way is dumb. Sort of like what's written on the alien's computer screen in maddox's new post (search for best page in the universe in google) |

and the Elephant Man is back :D |

For example, key secret would have to consider whether his/her dislike for my idea was SO great that he/she would be willing to sacrifice one of her 8 posts to express it. The same for his/her idea that nacmat's point was good. Elephant man would be a humorous character, but would only be able to remind us of his hilarious lunacy 8 times a day. Everyone tries to spread their own memes and get noticed and accepted socially I guess. |

good idea in principle, i see what you're trying to achieve. i'd probably end up spamming watmm instead. |

lol man you get me laughing all the more today I'm about to hit the limit at his so STOP |

I actually think this is not a bad idea - why not set up a system where your seniority determines how many topics per day you can create - if you've been here 1 month, you can create 1 per day, etc. with a maximum of say 12 per day for an established member. I don't think the number of posts here is the probem, it's the number of topics - if there were less topics, people could keep up with the flow of the board better, enjoy it more, and ultimately raise the quality of the topics. |

good point that if my idea were to happen that the current message size limit (how it cuts off your message if you write too much) should be expanded to make room for the extra thought put into individual messages. Not that it'll ever happen.. |

That sounds familiar. |

no post limit. but we need a topic limit. we need to stop the trolls coming on here |

well yes and I just sum everything up |

yeah stuff this block of creamy space up your ass wMw (dunna) and for the algorythm of my behavior: I act bad, then Phobia warns me, I say it'll be ok, then just keep acting even worse, then I get banned (or not), then I realize my mistakes and line crossings, get the vibe back, start being an interesting and quality person. then some time passes, then the Saint Chopper is back. goto 10. please forgive me if those empty-minded bullshit jokes offend you. i don't want any hard things on me. :( the word is... OVERREACTING |

Joyrex's idea about seniority would be good and bad. People like me would have rediculous amounts of posting power where as people who are new wouldn't be able to ask much needed question. There is always the search feature for that, but thats a pain sometimes. Also it would again raise the discrimination against the n00bs. I just think it would solve one problem by vreating another. |

yeah, a topic starting limit isnt a bad idea, it seems most of the topics that are boring and pointless are started by people who just start topics out of habit, because they are bored..not because they have some important or interesting issue to bring up.. it seems like the majority of threads are started by a core group of compulsive thread starters who start topics for the sake of starting topics... disregarding any notion of 'interesting content' or 'usefulness' it wouldnt bother me at all.. i seem to start one thread a month at the most.. the post limit could be kinda annoying though.. if excess posting is an issue, you could always lenghten the time allowed between posts.. like now, when you try and post multiple posts within one minute, it tells you to slow down.. maybe increase this to ten minutes or something? |

this wouldnt work, but the idea i fond interesting. i post a lot less often because most topics i find are shit (personally). i dont know if limiting the number of posts would work (i doubt it), but something should be done to force people to make more intelligent posts. i agree with that. apart from banning people for shitty posts, which i find exhausting for mods, i dont know any perfect solution... i come here to post about music, idm, electronica, but most topics arent about what im looking for. people will say 'fuck this, it's an open forum, i got opinions and nobody has a right to regulate what i want and will say'. fuck this way of thinking. this is first and foremost an electronica messageboard. respect that. maybe if it was specified that, by agreeing to become a member of this community, you would have to somewhat contribute to music discussion, it would avoid people complaining about being banned for overposting unrelated topics? |

what about the augmentin? |

Thats a shitty IDEA. We dont need more regulations ! |

|

no way to this |

|
|

there should be a minimum number of words per post |

minimum or maximum? what about the augmentin? ------- don't think the idea would work 'tall .. and a hierachry thing re: more senior get to post more, gives it a nasty feudal sort of feeling. sure it would stop trolls, but they are usually spotted/gotten rid of pretty quickly anyway |

wMw's bullshit spree has ended, he has lost his interest in you shut teh fuck up and delete the thread |

i think m has a good idea |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

besides: I am a tough poster nowadays, and I rarely start more than 1 or 2 threads per day... in fact many days I dont even start one |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
that idea is shite |
||||||||
|
|

very nice idea. |

Or maybe it could be made so that every post has to be checked first by a moderator before it actually gets posted! Or how about this: if you create an interesting topic you're allowed to create another one. But if you create a useless topic you're not allowed to create a new topic until the next day. Or maybe we should ban posting altogether, think about it... it's the only way to insure for a 100% there will never be any more unpleasant posts! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

how about the fools get banned... it would be too harrd forr a mod to check everry post |
||||||||

i suggest an xltronic member code |

I post fewer than 8 messages a day anyway, and they're still garbage. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Yeah, I can see that. |
||||||||
|

What's the point in having a messageboard if you can only post X-amount per day - it renders pointless the ability to have interesting discussions--this place is conversational by nature, which makes it much better than the average messageboard - this is why we call ourselves a community. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
what kind of board has ever implemented some bullshit like that? because it sounds stupid and lame. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the idea. AND if something is REALLY REALLY that important you can just email people. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, I usually choose words that I think would make me appear intelligent regardless of whether they are the most fitting words. This is because I am a pseudointellectual. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pseudo-intellectual eh? hehe.. "fitting words" sounds like a tricky proceduce! i guess you could determine the "fitness" of words, and establish the "fittest" as the ones that result in the most pragmatic effects, (ie. in light of the intended meaning of the "fitted" words). perhaps one would need to view words in a more conglomerate vain (ie. most pragmatic conglomerates). this all seems to throw important light on the "regardless of whether they are the most fitting words" aspect of "fitting". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still, i think your augmentin idea would inject an uneccessary restriction on our "freedom" ... |
