Ceri i understand that people posting crap topics can be shitty, but i think even though a bunch of topics aren't music related that's what makes this a great place.
There are a lot of friendly posters here and i have learned a great deal music wise. Most of which i learned from various posters at this very board (as i no longer frequent others).
I think non music related posts are interesting because it gives you some insight into other posters on this board and gives you an idea of what they are like, giving their avatar and name a personality.
To say this message board is going to shit is something i strongly disagree with. I don't mean to upset you with this topic and i do see how certain individuals have made life more difficult for you but those recent actions shouldn't affect your view on the rest of us.
Keep up the good work otherwise, i'll keep my spamming to a minimum.

I totally agree with you. The only reason there was trouble this morning is because of some wankers posting deliberately shitty topics and otherwise fucking around.
Excise these people and the board arrives at a good balance between music and non-music. There's bound to be an ebb and flow of emphasis on these areas from time to time, particularly now when such major world events are taking place, but over time the good karma ensures balance is restored :D

Hi, I don't know if you were around this morning, but some of those topics in no way contributed to the board. I'm not sure if you're talking about the war ones (why does everyone think I said "don't mention the war"? I just said keep it to the existing topics...) or the spam or the blank topics...

did you see all those "secret topics" and other troll shit? it WASN'T about being music unrelated it was about posting topics named "........." and topics with no titles and other shit that made the front page look like shit..
but banning is a wrong way I think, and I wouldn't vote for Ceri today :\

I'm wondering if shitty topics can be completely removed, as opposed to just closed?

Yes, they can be removed... They tend to be kept as evidence until the webmasters get here though...

It's great when I'm here - I can't comment on when I'm not here, because I would have to be here to comment on how it was when I wasn't here, and logic doesn't allow that kind of craziness.

Only trouble with that is that they sit on the front page looking shit until a webmaster does actually look at them. More often than not it takes new topics being posted to push them off the board.
Perhaps it would make more sense to introduce a facility where the moderators could hide a topic, then the webmasters could review it and decide whether or not to delete it or open it up again.

no, dont DELETE the closed topics..... they're interesting reads. If there's a closed topic ppl who dont like them should just not click on them.
who cares if it looks "bad"... that's just stupid to delete them for that reason

I think the moment the moderators start deciding that anything other than music is to be discussed here, that will be the end of this place.

some of the worst spammers here (on the MB) seems to be a little undecisive about where they actually stand; "yeah, i totally agree bla. bla. bla., the level of spamming must be kept to a minimum", but then they forget all that and post shit again.
