Okay, Erika that makes you better than me. God you piss me off. You better not think about borowing anything tommorrow. I don't care if I borrowed your jacket today, you ass! You wouldn't be on here if it wasn't for me... ho bag!

I'll be honest with you guys, I don't think issue should be made as to the topic of posts. If the mods are that bothered about always posting on music they should close down off-topic entirely, and I hate the think of the potential repercussions of that. The issue should be with the quality of post, not location.

Can`t you tell her when she comes around to borrow something rather than bore us with it?

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.

It serves its purpose, its a melting pot for anything non-music related. If you want a serious topic, start a serious thread, if you want to play a game start a thread, if you want to talk about how you hurt your back trying to lick your own ass, start a thread..just try and help out and keep it in the lounge where it belongs.

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.

We've tightened the rules up, since the new mods, but theres a limit to what we can do without it infringing on babysitting. The subforuming is probably not gonna happen any time soon. So in the meantime, quit acting like its the end of the world, we'll do what we can. Just dont look in the threads that dont interest you, we'll keep the number as low as we can, and Im sure looking at page 2 of the lounge isnt such a difficult task for now, is it?

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.

sleepy jack · 01-24-2006, 07:15 PM

I agree 100% with that.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 01-24-2006, 07:19 PM

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?

PerFeCTioNThrUSileNCe · 01-24-2006, 07:21 PM

exactly.

i would like to hear a moderators response to this.

sleepy jack · 01-24-2006, 07:22 PM

The mods usually don't come on this late, alejo and rise occasionaly.

Please, elaborate.
Though I'm, sure that there is no way that your argument will be logical.
I really can't stand people like you. Why isn't rap music? Because they don't sing? Is it because they rap? Define music. If you can, I'm sure you will be intelligent enough to back down from the coming argument, before you are completely and utterly torn to pieces.

As for the rest of what was posted today. I am not a "senior member", but I really enjoy hearing new bands. Being introduced to new music, is one of the greatest things that can happen to you. Avoid being genre biased, and you will find that a world of new music opens up. This "world" of music, however, is drowned out by ignorant posters (SabrinaMaher, Kashmir86, FfEeeEeeKk) and, by people who are constantly making dumb, pointless threads (madeinNY, hobojesus) Why are the threads about "what makes youo go mmmm", more popular than threads that discuss music intelligently? This is a music forum. Sure, talking about music can get redundant, and when it does, log off. Or, make a thread in the lounge...but, do all threads in the lounge have to be about "wet dreams, what makes you go mmm, rate the persons above you ???? "

Please, make some decent threads in the lounge. That is why it was made, not to be filled with stupid game threads. It is ridiculous. I have made quite a few threads in the hip/hop rap forums, folk, punk, indie/alternative forums, but they die out after 2 days. Only to be replaced by "what time is it in Tokyo". We are here to talk about music. I think the people who are incapable, should be gone. There should be no arguments about it. I think that threads like this one, are neccessary. They need to be made. Even if their only use is to flame noobs to the point that they dont want to make stupid posts anymore. Even that helps.

I'm too lazy to write more =)
