i dont think there is one mod in particular assigned to any forum, ill double check and let you know though. (nope, all the mods are super mods and handle all the forums)

I just think its all ****ed up because most of the odler members have heard everything in there paticular favorite forum.and (in my case) are sick of noobs calling posers punk rawk and getting away with it.Then they get all pissy about it and threaten to leave.I dont think you leaving we'll solve much to be honest.I also think mods should just delete spam.Chats never work it didnt work on UG so the mods just started deleting spam.Really its that simple close pointless topics etc...

Its not that simple though. What I consider pointless and what someone else considers pointless may be two different things. Sometimes a pointless thread evolves into something interesting and worthwhile, and, more frequently, original and engaging threads get hijacked and turned into garbage. Do you close those threads, or wait to see if they get back on track? Its always a compelling dilemma. The hardest thing about being a mod is deciding whether or not taking action in certain circumstances is unfair to someone else.

Yeah but i mean if a threads just like stupid and really serves no point like if its "you all suck" ive seen topics like that left open for a long time.Also i think lots of members quit posting and leave is cause they get no respect.Really they have noobs calling them names and no one does **** and there sick of it.I use to IM with rise above alot and he didnt like how he was being treated and hes gone now.

Ive been doing alot of cleaning around the board. Not so much deleting particular posts (although ive done that on a few threads, to keep the thread going without the bs) but mostly deleting entire threads that are pointless. Its pretty much impossible for me anyways to go through and read each post in each thread in each forum. I dont visit some of the forums because, well, simply put, im not too familiar with some of the genres. So unless someone brings something to my attention, chances are Im not going to find some of the problems like in the emo forum for example. I think best bet would be for everyone to keep their eyes open and let me or another mod know when something isnt right in one of the forums. If someone spams a thread or goes off topic too much and other people start complaining about it in the thread itself without letting one of us know about it, its not going to be noticed by a mod unless they happend to go into that particular thread and see it for themselves.

Satch you're a groupie again by the way. Just so ya know.

And while Im in here, I think the sub-forums would be a good idea. Its not as if people will join just for the lounge, its still a music site. And even if there are a few that do join purely for the lounge, they're sure to post in the music forums after time.

I thought I had more to say, but.. Obviously I dont.

Hallelujah

Someone sees my point at last

AITA ...you`re a star

What would be a good example of some sub-forums, hypothetically, if this were to happen?
