I think this messageboard is great! Where else do you meet electronic musicians all over the world? As someone who doesn't spend much time on messageboards in general, I fail to see what all the fuss is about. I just ignore idiotic posts on this or any other board. Anyway, I hope this stays on as a place where there can be casual and serious music discussion for fans and musicians alike. Not to mention these great mp3 compilations. I've never seen a better and more active place on the internet for this kind of music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i agree. and i find it really embarrassing that sometimes people on the board simply tend to forget that MUSIC is (or should be) the reason why we’re here and the thing that really matters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, i find myself in the same boat often. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Yeah but stick around long enough and you'll figure out why half this shit goes on |
||||||||

i apologize you know, just in case i did something wrong |

How could we stay mad at that face? :D I liked dobbins idea btw. If the trolls only motivation to spam the board is admiration as ophecks suggested, I think an embarrassing status title would be enough of a deterrent. I believe creative status titles is incentive enough for people to chill oot. God I hope I'm not on Phobia's list. :P |

Ophecks is right man, I'd be like a parapalegic camel without this MB. It's a great place to find and explore new people/things/ideas....and shouldn't be used as a ploy to gain notoriety or fame just cause you post like a mad freak scientist or something. Sure, this Theo guy sounds like he read too many dictionaries in another life, but really do we have to be on such a level??? I'm all for banning these childish trolls. Don't sacrifice the whole board for the people who actually enjoy it. |

SAVE THE MB! KILL THE WHALES! (no offense to Inverted_Whale, buddy) OR AT LEAST SOME DOLPHINS! |
||||||||

|

What about a 3 strikes rule? Or a warning percentage like on AIM? :-/ |
||||||||
|
|

I don't think closing the mb is neccessary. |
||||||||
|

do what you got to do man |

agreed |

I think maybe the temp ban should be increased from one week to one month. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...or maybe even 2 or 3 months. Similar to when you commit a crime, if its something real bad you get 'life' if not, maybe just a few months. :D |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Don't shut it down please. I wouldn't want to see the MB changed because of the behavior of a few 'challenged' individuals. That'd just be silly IMO. Alot of dedicaion resides in this board and you have many supporters. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
the status thing is a bad idea - kind of medieval. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at the end of the day you agreed to the rules of the mb and if you use the mb you should do so banning is the only forward |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry :( |

Don't get rrid of the MB, it's a grreat place. As farr as I can tell (even though flaming may be worrse) the MB has equally as many good topics and posts as it has bad topics and posts, just like it did in the past, only in the past i think it was maybe worrse. Is chit-chat bad? Yes it's a MB, but people can still chit-chat on a MB rright? It maybe chit-chat but most of the time it is arround a theme, that would be totally lost in a shitty chat rroom. I think you should just ban the trroublemakerrs, and why not afterr all they arre trrouble makerrs. I don't think the point system matterrs an ounce, scrrap that if you think it makes people spam. |

i've been all over an assortment of messageboards in my time, and i must say this is possibly one of the tames i've ever seen. i don't see what the big deal is. |

phobia, it'd be a lot more easy to vote when we actually know what +- the release date of xltronic will be. If it'll be released within the next 2 months, you can go right ahead and close this down. I don't have a problem with that but it would definitely suck if we'd have to wait for 6 months or god knows how long. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I think you should ban whoever needs banning... my only problem with banning is that their never seems to be a reason given, and it sometimes might seem like random banning is happening... so, I think if you banned people who deserved it, and then maybe posted the reason for everyone else to read, it would probably do the trick... banning people is definitely necessary, but keep the good posters informed on why certain people are banned so we keep the moral level up... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
why should he close it down? if you don't want to take part then leave. saying you want the mb to shut down so other people can't continue posting just because you don't want to is plain selfish |
||||||||
|

agreed i think most of community would go in 6mnths and i like 99% of the people on hear i think it would be a shame |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
hear = here but you got the idea :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

your av matches that post |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agrree, why should the few (orr many) morrons rruin it forr the rrest. and why shut it down, just ban people, that will calm things down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i`m gonna quit postin on here for a while. I have a sore head. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry I get it now (not because of the hear though, I figured that on out ;) |
||||||||
|
|

|

i say ban the meanies and just set the record straight. i also agreed with a post earlier on in the thread about changing the status thingies, and say, giving each user a warning every time they cross the line. after so many warnings, they're gone. i think it would be a good idea. |

Have a once-a-week posting of the black list. Folks will know they're on probation regularly without a big fuss. If they're not on it the next week, no problemo. If you don't see them posting anymore, you'll know what happened :). |

I am out for a weekend and this is what happens? |
||||||||
|
|

|

more moderators shutting down more lame topics. point deduction and "scarlet letters" and temp/perm bans after repeated warnings. these things will help i believe. But in the end, do like i do and just ignore lame topics and the trolls. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think people are just getting bored of being nice...shame though... The moderators are doing a good job in my opinion, just because you feel like acting like an asshole dosent mean you have to take it all out here, people have enough shit in their everyday life, they dont need more of it here. I say shut down the site till the whole thing is complete. |
||||||||

either way i'm still going to kill myself |

what a stupid idea. sorry.. just voiving my opinion, i see nothing wrong with the state of the board.. never better |

My two cents (for what it's worth): There was a thread long ago about the quality of topics here, and I suggested that because of the easy, impulsive ability to post, that perhaps a limit on the number of posts in a given period could be made - this would force people to consider using their posts more wisely and not waste it on some of the drivel that I've seen on this board. If a posting limit is not desireable, then how about the aforementioned warning system - we are going to have this feature soon on our board where everyone will have a 'warning status' that the mods can use to let someone know they've fucked up. I'm not 100% decided if we'll use it or not, but it will be there if we need it. Back to the subject at hand though, perhaps a cooling off period would be in order - I've considered this before when the overall quality of the board has sunk below a certain level, but I watch, and eventually things work themselves out. Since this board's very nature is to post rapidly, I'm not sure if left unchecked this situation would clear itself up. Another thing to look at or ask yourselves is why do so many people want to start trouble here? If you can find a reason behind that, you'll possibly have the solution to the recent rash of bad threads and attitudes. |

i still love this place and have never had a problem with it. the real problem is that there is too many drama queens making too big of a deal of the 'social order' of this place. jeez folks, its a message board! not a fraternity or a dorm building or your fricking highschool band community. stop bitching and crying and just take it easy. will you all just take it easy??? i've bween drinking sorry bout this post. |

Well I guess I should say something since I am part of this message board. 1-I dont really see our opinions making a change in what Phobiazero wants to do because he's sees this site for what it is BUT if you do want our opinion, I'll say...do as you please :D |
||||||||
|
|

the story of this community was always full of problems with troublemakers, clones, trolls, etc... probably, it's our destiny here but i enjoy this mb anyway. |

"warninglevels" is to be implemented in future versions of this messageboard. we've discussed it already. members familiar to AIM knows what I'm talking about. i guess everyone is frustrated about the missing site tho - lack of conten. im sure everything will be fine as soon as we have more contents and it'll all get more "music-related" once again. the discog alone will get people into interesting discussions. its quite natural humans are getting restless when they are not getting stimulated and it results in dramas and disputes. |
