Why not have a warning system so that once someone has posted what the mods consider x amount of pointless posts in a set amount of time either they aren't allowed to post new topics for a while OR any topics have to be cleared by a mod before they are posted on the board? |

I think your silly rule is fundamentally antitheticall to how a messageboard works. The people here are the message board, not the topics. Next you will try to legislate sarcasm and the board will become a ghost town. |

ah.. just like you creating two threads within half an hour about your favourite comedian yesterday..? |

dude, what a nonsense reply. This is a music related mb, do you really want to see anal-sex topics on here? People should visit this place to discuss music and related interesting subjects. There are A LOT of trolls who are just creating senseless useless topics about nothing, it is absolutely not how a mb does work. I can't believe there are this amount of dorks (yes you are!) who wants to discuss NOTHING. Talking about time-wasting.... oh, and 'antithetical'? good one.... how non-sense is the way for a mb to work is beyond crap. (I lack the wit to see the brilliance of that comment) |

Erronous- you talk good English! The purpose of a good MB in my mind is to bring like-minded individuals together to discuss any topic thereby fostering a diverse cultural environment where ideas will naturally evolve. It is presciously the gestalt of this fuction that makes xlt great. I find off topic posts much less tedious than half wits attempting to flame me. |

for warned people could you have it so status says "warned"? i usually never check my email |

What do you mean by filters? How do you set them up? Every topic starter would classify his/her topic? And then the reader could filter out threads which are classified as "funny"? Would people stick to that? Anyway I don't think it would work. Only make the MB more difficult to use. |

Don't pick at his English, how pathetic is that? |

for a message board, or any type of structured discussion to work, it needs to be about something.. if it were only chaos, the board would be populated by people only willing to discuss nonsense and nothing else. the posters then might not even like electronic music. have you ever seen a non-subcategorised message board with no official topic to discuss that actually "works"? we need a sense of order, but because of that, certain posters will always wish to rebel and post uselessness. if there were no rules or order, most serious posters would get tired of the anarchy and leave. even the trolls would get annoyed and most likely leave because they had become so much less "shocking" and their tomfoolery had become commonplace. i'd think that an "anarchy" board would serve no one but those who have nothing that interests anyone to discuss. |

dude... i see where your comin' from on both sides of the matter. i believe godataloss when he said, "The purpose of a good MB in my mind is to bring like-minded individuals together to discuss any topic thereby fostering a diverse cultural environment where ideas will naturally evolve. It is presciously the gestalt of this fuction that makes xlt great." makes sense to me, yay we all agree electronic music is our favorite. great. now that we got that out of the way what else makes you tick? yeah me too. awesome. i hardly imagine tho that this mb would dive as bad as Q4Z2X might think. look at it now. is it really so bad that it's interfering with the rest of your life right now? mods seem to be cool here. why don't you then divide the effing board into music and non music if it's such a godamn headache. i don't understand why it's so hard to ignore these so called dumb threads. freedom of choice. it's what you got. freedom from choice it's what you want. look at all the people on here i can't find anyone like you guys around me in my town. i'd like to be able to continue to hang out and just shoot the proverbial shit together and connect with like minded human beings. on the level that we agree in taste of music somewhat at least for the most part it seems that we are the unique outer portion of the real world. no two are a like here. |

i think anyone who thinks about what MB is for .. to such lengths has way too much time on their hands.. |

It's actually not a problem. If you don't like how we run or setup this messageboard - then leave. There are lot of other forums out there that might suit you better. That would prolly be much better for both sides. How can people join this mb and then tell us how to run it? Isn't that weird? Why don't you download some free forum software and set up your own board? Thank you... |

As Phobs pointed out earlier in the thread, this isn't about "off topic" threads, we all accept people want to discuss star wars, or martial arts or whatever with other MBers and in moderation (no pun intended), that's fine. The thing people dislike, and this thread is about, is nonsense threads. Very few nonsense threads are genuinely amusing and tend to range from sub-par Baron imitations to outright random characters. |

the very same discussion was here one year ago.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
luckly nothing changed :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and will most probably be here again one year from now! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's how it works. same issue coming up every year - it always ends up in either banning or troublemakers leaving. |
||||||||
|
|

|

aaaand that about wraps it up. next week we're off on vacation, so there'll be a re-run of an old favourite: "Multiple Accounts Will Be Banned". thanks for watching, buh-bye. |

ive done a wonderful thing. Just put a book by your keyboard, then when you get bored, you read. Its constructive man, not destructive. Ban the bomb, make love and biscuits, not hate and salty crackers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and when you check my posts from a year ago, you'll see i was reacting the very same way as that godataloss does now... |
||||||||
|
|

Well, to have this discussion now and then is good I think. Except the thread called "AAAH!", I can't find any nonsense threads of the first 50. And most of them are music-topics. Good stuff. Way batter than the last weeks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is all getting very non-productive.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sometime i like to bump old topics 'cos i find them a part of aphextwin.nu/xltronic.com history. anyway it depends from situations, but sometime old topics are funny the important is don't exaggerate too much with stupid bumps. btw: I will be really disappointed if i will find an old topic of mine closed... i'm jelous of my little old sons. |
