Members blaghaus Posted November 11, 2005 Members Share Posted November 11, 2005 [conspiracy theory mode] First Avatars, then, increased moderation*, before you know it it'll be on-topic only, and we'll only be able to talk about gear MF sell. You mark my words. *Not including that bukkake stuff, that was dumber than jrak* [/conspiracy theory mode] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IndofunkCity Posted November 11, 2005 Members Share Posted November 11, 2005 Don't know exactly how tongue-in-cheek the original post was, but I've actually been thinking about this too ....I mean, other than GJ, the other topic-specific forums, EG, AG, LL, and even *gasp* amps are VERY on-topic. I really like them for that (well, not amps, I actually just went there to see how OT they are) ... it's the electric guitar forum, you got there to ask a question about guitars, read what other people have to say about guitars, get advice, share guitar GAS, etc.... What, are we really not interested in effects enough to fill a page with effects-related posts? And then there are days when everyone and their girlfriends post parody threads, which is funny at first but then just I say we either get moderation, or show enough restraint to stay on-topic here and go to GJ for off topic fun.Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin' Well my post was half in jest. This is one of the best forums on the web, otherwise I wouldn't be here. and I don't go into GJ because it isn't as good as here. Frankly, if this place was on-topic, I'd say 10% of the numbers would come here. Effects are good, but theres only so many times you can talk about which fuzz clone you want, or why delay rocks.We dont need moderation. its as simple as that.

Members IndofunkCity Posted November 11, 2005 Members Share Posted November 11, 2005 I was always anti-moderation until recently. I know, it sounds like a case of "it was better back in the day!" but ... well ... it did seem like it was better back in the day. I have nothing against the ocassional OT post, but I mean, if the meatheads in AF can stay on topic, talk all day about amps, then {censored}dammit, why can't we talk about pedals, modding, circuitry, maybe even post some clips, ... ya know?damn, just looked at AF again and they're almost as OT as us today. oh well.

I wish this forum would do like other forums and grant some members moderative abilities, so they can delete parodies, etc. I mean, self moderation is the best type, if there has to be moderation.I get annoyed at times about page 1. But when that happens I just and go somewhere else for a few hours and 9 out of 10 when I come back it's cleared up.I don't even know what everyone gets worked up about. So far the moderation I've seen here has been really, really laid back. People give Phil a hard time, but he's the coolest forum mod I've ever had.

It has been my understanding that the Moderators only enforce the rules when enough people complain about someone or something going on in the forum. All I'm asking for is clarification of the rules (and punishment system), so people feel as though they are treated fairly when moderation is dealt out.

I understand these thoughts, but...I guess alot of us will need to not post. I sure as hell can't nor want to stay on topic all day.If you have a friend that is an auto mechanic, is that all you talk to him about? I rather like the interaction here......maybe this just ain't the place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should know the boundaries and the consequences. I'm just worried that this will become a "no effects - no post" area. That'd suck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, member-mods are volunteers.I'd do it, but there would be a lot of very unhappy people were I modded, so I won't even go there.But I agree.I do agree that I'd like to see our rules solidified though. And this mysterious banning of people is kind of lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
