The Big3's Second Annual Bitch-a-thon (albums, reviews, quote)

~~[MERIT]~~ · 11-07-2006, 10:47 AM

i mostly agree with you Big3, but many times what people want to say about a band has already been said 10 times so they just say "cool" or "i agree" as to not add unnecessary redundance to the thread.

Meehh, especially a lot of topicstarters do that. To keep their thread high. Though, to be honest, so do I.

some people like a band but dont know all that much about them, so they just add "cool" or "i like them" to show their support for the band, while disguising their ignorance.

^ So they think, it usually makes them look even more ignorant. Maybe threads should be made more detailed from now on? A good startpost, with some background stuff, and a link to one or more mp3 usually set's of a better discussion.

On another forum I'm on, they have strict standards, and it works! But then again, it's just a discussion forum, and not a music forum.

thats an idea, but putting strict post standards would result in exponentially fewer posts, and exponentailly more posts for mods to delete.

I can start a thread right now to see if you`ll put your money where your mouths are

No, I'm talking about strict threadstart standards.
Post-deletion usually ends up with the mods and posters having discussions in the thread about the deletion. Up to the point where the original topic of the thread get's ignored.

@Urban: Nobody's acting goody-two-shoes here. It's just some good ol' speculation.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 11-07-2006, 11:14 AM

Nothing goody two shoes about it.

Like I said I can start a thread right now where people of whatever taste in music they have can express themselves & go into detail about what they like.

But the question is do people want to?

dont be a party pooper. starting a thread just to try to prove someone wrong is just as gay as spamming.

It's the way you start the thread. If you have a good basis, with what exactly you want them to go deeper into, and give an example yourself. I think people would be eager.

But if you say: ''discuss music here'' People get lost on what exactly to post. Because you're trying to put the whole of MB in one thread.
