ya know what...im getting tired of all the mods coming down on us and telling us "we are limited in what we can do" and giving us all that bullshit and then closing any threads that contain any hint of discussion of the things here that annoy us. ethan was right, making a thread about the problem is a way of dealing with it. we can discuss it and see what comes of the discussion.

if you dont like the way something is.....do you just sit there and let it be? or do you do something about it. well...fenix said "make a thread". and thats exactly what ethan did. there is no reason to give him sh!t for it at all. we have a problem with something and we are trying to deal with it in the only way availible to us. by talking it out. im sorry if thats not how you deal with things, but we are just trying to get our opinions dealing with this subject heard. hell, maybe if we get them out in the open then threads like this wont spring up as much, but every time one does...it gets locked.

this is very true, the lounge is simply a melting pot for off topic discussion. but as of late, the lounge has become the most popular forum on these boards, and its filled with unintelligent "rate the person above you" threads. with everyone on the forum playing the games in the lounge, no one is posting in the music forums at all. most of the music forums get maybe 5 or 6 new posts a day, possibly more if an actual conversation is drawn up. hardly anyone talks about music any more.

now, sure...fenix you say the game threads will fade away if we dont pay attention to them, but we can only control one person on these boards...ourselves. even if everyone that has expressed an opinion towards this stopped posting in the game threads.....the lounge would just become a giant shithole filled with postwhores who play forum games and talk about how they hurt their back trying to lick their own asses. if that happened, then any threads not related to music that actually contained an ounce of intelligence, would just be overrun by the constant posting the the game threads, and would die out before anyone noticed them.

lately i havent seen people banned unless they are reported. ridiculous threads, obviously, have run rampant, or else this thread wouldnt have been made. and no one would be complaining. now im not saying that i have a problem reporting spammers, or anything like that, but we shouldnt have to. as far as i know thats a moderators job.

the reason its the "senior" members who are complaining, is because its us who were here when this site wasnt filled with spammers and game threads. sure, you may think that we are just bitching and whining...but since we have absolutely no power on this site, and apparently our opinions dont either, thats all we really can do....talk about it. like i said earlier....if someones doing something that you dont like....are you just going to sit there and let it happen? or are you going to get up and do something about it?

i dont know about anyone else, but im sure there are a few people that will agree with me when i say that im tired of this elitist attitude that some of the members have taken on.

go ahead, flame me, close this thread and ban be if you want, but im not going to sit back and not voice my opinion.

Anyway, now Ive calmed down a bit, Im gonna agree with greg. I still stand by my opinion. Im just less likely to bite your head off about it.

I just have to reply to this though. Sorry to bring it back when its calming down.
So, we literally have to be here 100% of the time to watch over you guys? You know what, Im so sorry, from the bottom of my heart, that you might have to wait for a while before one of the spammers gets banned.

Oh wait. We do do things without you telling us to, dont we.. Remember when we used to get those trolls joining the forum just posting in every visible thread with nothing but emoticons? Yeah, we still get that, you just dont see it as often as you used to because there's more mods around to go on a deleting spree for you. No one notices this, but everyones quick to point it out when it takes a day or so to get a warning sent out to another member.

Aaanyway, thats totally off topic.

Im done.

what on earth are you talking about? so the lounge is essentially distracting people from posting about music? em.....nooooooo.....
i post in the lounge when i have nothing better to do, it's not like there's a new fantastic band to talk about every single day. when i come across something new related to music, i discuss it, the lounge is not going to comepletely sidetrack me.....

and i don't mind stupid threads, like greg said, what is stupid to me doesn't neccesserily mean that it's stupid to someone else. if some people are having fun with those threads, i don't see any harm in them. i simply don't post in threads i don't find interesting.

and it's really not that hard to cruise through new threads and posts. i can do it in 5 minutes. i essentially look for threads with either interesting names or topics or threads created by people i know and/or respect.

Does make you wonder why we have a feedback thread.

Usually when someone posts an idea we get the usual 'PM admin' response.

Why?
If I have a good idea I want to see if people agree or disagree , you can`t get that in a PM & if the admin don`t look at the ideas posted or take any on board whats the point in having a feedback forum in the first place?

Im with the disabled post counts in the lounge idea, I think it would knock down alot of eltism. I think the sub forums idea would be good for forums games that way we don't have to run into them if we dont want too..
