I have a problem with all of these spamming noobs. Why did you guys join a music forum, if you were going to talk about each others signatures, and how pretty everyone else is. And do not tell me "just skip over the stupid posts". because, frankly, I shouldn't have to. This is a music forum, and it has some of the most intelligent members of any forum I have been to. It is ruined by the fact that we get people on here like fFeEeEkK and SittingBehindYou, who just want to post whore, and fill our lounge up with stupid forum games.
mosesandtherubberducky made a great thread. It was a game thread, but it was created to expose everyone here to new music. It was posted in the General Music forum 2 days ago, and it has 9 replies. Mostly by me, him, and PTS. That is pathetic. If the game was "post a pic of yourself, and the person below you rates it" it would be filled with 8 pages by now. But no, since it was about music, it doesnt get replies. PEOPLE, THIS IS MUSICBANTER, not rate the person above you's avatar-banter. If you want to talk about that shit, go to www.offtopic.com you can spam about whatever you want. Don't do it here. Urban has made a bunch of great music threads, and they get 5 or 6 replies, but then, he goes out and makes a "compliment someone" thread in the Lounge and, badabing...INSTANT SUCCESS (not a dig at you Urban ) That is ridiculous. All of you newcomers who have joined just to pic whore yourselves, are pathetic. Get a life. This a place to discuss music. If you aren't going to do that, then I will watch every post you make, the second you cross the line, I am reporting you to a mod for spamming. Hopefully you will be banned. |

i have a feeling that a lot of the people that have joined lately, joined because they saw all the games in the lounge and thought theyd throw in their two cents. if not that then to make ridiculous posts in the music forums like trying to prove why the beatles are better than the stones. spamming just ruins the forums, and makes this a worse place for everyone.
if you are hesitant to post in certain threads because your knowledge of music isnt very extensive, then...1. consider it a learning experience and check out the bands that youve never heard of..and 2. if you know jack squat about music, and arent willing to learn, then why the hell did you join a forum called "musicbanter" in the first place. i agree with you bungalow, im tired of all the people that post ONLY in the lounge. sure..i post in the lounge, everyone does. but when that is the only place you post on the forum, thats when its out of hand. there have been a significant number of newbies that joined, and as soon as they posted, they got in an argument. why? usually because they are either not willing to accept other peoples opinions, or they were unwilling to learn. elitism gets no one anywhere on a forum. (with the exception of a few). i know that a lot of the people on this forum are sick of the games and "oh em geee" threads that are pushing any form of intelligence out of sight. they are taking over, and most a lot of the people posting in them are either newer members or people who never post anywhere but the lounge. frankly, i as well as a lot of the other members are sick of it. if you cant contribute to the parts of the forum dedicated to MUSIC, then you shouldnt be here. ive reported a few spammers lately, and most of them have been banned. i plan to keep doing this whenever i feel that someone is doing more bad than good.

I wasn't making a dig at you Urban. I was saying that you constantly put out good threads....about music, but they get ignored. Finally, when you post something in the lounge, it gets tons of replies. I like the way that thread was done. It definitly beats the wat thta half of these other lame ass threads are done.

I find myself posting in here more because nothing happens much anywhere else.
I still think we should have a proper off topic forum that doesn`t tolerate all this spamming sh*t. Is the louge supposed to be the off topic forum for proper dabate or is it somewhere where you can mess around & joke with people who post here.I think someone has to decide and thats why I think there needs to be more than just the one option that is available. However the admin seem to think this place is fine & seem content to crack down on any talk of the direction this forum is taking by the people who post here.

big3's thread got closed, and this one will too. any movement by the members towards bettering the forums is shut down.
im all for a boycott of the game threads.

I have to say I do find the attitude of the admin curious sometimes.Any ideas are usually shouted down as 'Convince us you NEED it'
This is an internet forum , i don`t NEED anything , however it would be nice if things were tried once in a while to keep things fresh & to get some proper debate going on here.

*rolls eyes*
This is getting past the line. I can see ****ing senior members telling it how it is in the nicest way possible, and all the "too cool for school" n00bs are just making it a big joke. Have some consideration, some of us have an IQ above 90, and would like to enjoy a forum as it's supposed to be, not a PLAYGROUND. Little bitches, go back to your crayons and grow up.
