Why was this topic closed? It's about independent electronic music. How did you know this wasn't the start of his contribution? |
||||||||

His participation in the community may have been via e-mail! You call their advertising spam but look at what's usually discussed here, at least this is music. People have even started posting their music under topics labelled [spam] how shit is that? http://alteredbeats.com/ |

"people" ? you mean a moderator who overreacted ? those "people" forget that this mb would be quite poor without musicians showing and exchanging their music. |

The webmaster himself doesnt seem to approve of that. I guess thats the end of the road. I think we've has this discussion many times before. About how people come to the community with nothing more than spam. No discussions. They use this as their personal medium or something and many members expressed their distain for it. Now the boss is expressing his. Based on past discussions i would say that people being bummed out are the minority which shouldnt come as a surprise. |

my mistake then. still, i think Steedie is a dupe - i wouldn't get so serious about it. |

The guy posted his link and I found some good music to download. We could discuss the content as long as the topic stays open and it keeps all the indy electronica together. |

Fair enough. Although most often times when these people post they often get ignored and or 1 post. I think now that phobia is encouraging the moderation of these aspects it will serve as an attempt to discourage them. They come here for the free advertisment for themselves at an already thriving community of a particualr genre. Its allowed from regular members because regular members contribute to the community aspect of XLT. These "freeloaders" just expolit aspect for their own personal gain through self promotion. Just offering a perspective different than your own. :) |

You are right, but i think it's just The Webmaster's will. If he gets upset - even gravity must work the other way. There is good spam and bad spam, apparently. It is strange, but this is Phobia's website and his messageboard. I've noticed that it's quite common anywhere else : someone becomes a lurker at a messageboard because he works on his music, having no time to chat there all day long. And then he comes and spams. Nothing wrong with that, imo. |

i understand people wanting to minimise spam, but instead of closing topics, why not have a specific spam thread pinned at the top of the board? That way people can have a dig round in there if they are interested. if not, then don't look in there. simple. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That seems like a fair approach except that people often tend to overlook and forget about pinned topics. Sometimes a whole new thread is ok. But thats a solid idea i think |

They are flying our choons tho, they have nothing to gain other then contacts and fans. They aren't even trying to sell a CD for 50p. I'd rather be downloading his tunes then reading Qrter correct another spelling mistake in a 'favourite cake' topic. Aye, anyway, Black Moses is gon' fuk me up. |

not as solid as my cock: 8==============> o o o O xlt hyakusen raid! What happened to him anyway? |

I'm quite surprised there isn't a free banner links page for indy elec music on here already. |
||||||||

maybe Stedie is Hyakusen-reborn and closing his spam topics will prevent his humble come back. he's trying to be nice ! |

Yay! Fleet, Marl + Bob! Um, no. "trust the crew" That was double-reverse sarcasm that didn't pan out. Sorry. I support the handing out of Stern Authoritarian Banningtons. |

I'm into Banningtons where it is necessary, i.e. Skyfarmer. All it was was a little bit of a Spam sandwich. Didn't warrant Steedie's B7 by a long shot. Or the stomp like grimlock thread shutting down. |

noooo....no more Proteu5 :) i did 1 remix for him and that's enough, his voice is too annoying. i heard he works with everyone and spams everywhere ? |

Don't just think of the individual tho, think of the point. I'm spent. |

he did the equivalent of paying phobs to have a banner with the slight difference that he didn't pay. |

People have even started posting their music under topics labelled [spam] how shit is that? I don't know, how shit do you think it is? I thought it was quite sensible as you know, generally, that the thread contains someone "spamming" their music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why not [Music]? Search 'spam' for music on a spam filled music board? Bleh! I'm guessing that was started by a bunch of cynics. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was just an easier way to make the board more tidy. [vid] or [mix] and such.... i've also seen the [nsfw] which comes in handy to warn people. Also [spam] notes that it is that particular members tunes. I am a fan of certain members and will immediately check it. [music] is kind of generic. |

I think it was started ironically, but also in recognition of the fact that some people do just "spam" their music here with no interest in the board. It's just another example of the "healthy sense of humour" enjoyed by XLT that isn't always present on other places. As far as I know, and it's not my board to say, but that attitude and a general consensus of maintaining some quality control is what keeps the board special. Just saying "any" electronic spam is fine, is not true, let the natural XLT filter do its thing, these things happen for a reason. WATMM's EKT board provides adequate space if you're looking for a rimming in recognition of the fact you've managed to "lay down some beats", but if you wanted a proper opinion, I'd value the comments here more. |
||||||||

|

Fair point. I thought it reflected the attitude you where buying into when posting tho but at least it's all in one place. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, you can't say anything without sarcasm. Anyway it's not like I can't just start another topic about whatever so I'm done. The overall quality of this board is much better then others but you still get your pricks bringing the place down with their hostility, ironic or not. |
