Re: MS Suggestion Box

i might sound like a bit of a pervert here but its with regards to the puretna thread... what about a free blog space to host it away from the main site ? would that work ?

Re: MS Suggestion Box

[COLOR=red]If you want to jerk off just Google porn.[/COLOR] Promos & Recommendations is fucked. There are just to many threads where people are using the forum for their own financial gain. Obviously views are diverse on this but no one can deny its a problem. The whole section looks like a graveyard. Much as I hate subforums I think you would be better off creating a new sub forum but only where users can post music from the top 50 subscribed artists in the MS database (not necessary 50 look at the demographics and draw a line where you think the tastes of the forum are represented), sort of like a VIP or Favourite 50 type thing. It could also be reviewed at the periodically to accommodate with users changing tastes over periods of time. I'm not sure whether is possible to automatically direct threads when they are created in a main forum to a sub forum, or expecting users to do this themselves and getting moderators to move threads out of the subsection if they have been posted there when they shouldn't have been and warning persistent offenders. Lets face it no one gives to shits about 95% of the artists being posted in P&R at the moment.

[QUOTE=feather;962423]How much does the huge user base affect cost of running? Are we letting dead weight (non participating users) drag us down? If we're trying to grow/maintain user base at the cost of adwords and all these changes to [ms], does it make sense to open up [ms] to new registrations for limited time, like private torrent trackers? Or perhaps implement an invite system for registrations, again, taking cue from private torrent trackers.[/QUOTE]

Cross post.

Or limite the users who can post links. P&R has always been fine when it was regular users posting sets and our podcast bots. In fact back then, at least I knew most of the sets come from people with similar music tastes or people I trust.

Re: MS Suggestion Box

I agree with feather and Chunky. P&R needs a revamp.

Re: MS Suggestion Box

Since the forum is having a clean up...

On some fourms they have the badwords filter that replaces swearwords with other much more hilarious words. I think that would be awesome.

Re: MS Suggestion Box

I just about spit my Wunderbar out when I saw the pedobear banner. What's up with that? It really bothers me that there is a symbol for pedophelia that is socially accepted somehow. So titties aren't ok in the GYY but the pedobear is?

Re: MS Suggestion Box

^^^ Yeah and shopped over [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=54"]James Zabiela[/url] isn't really a good thing.

thats a good point - google ads accepts paedos but not hetros! outrageous.

Re: MS Suggestion Box

Hang on what is this pedobear? I thought it was just Zabiela with a bear head.

Re: MS Suggestion Box

if you're going to let the bots run wild in P&R, can you at least make them post tracklists too?

Re: MS Suggestion Box

:lol: I've noticed the bots aren't as busy in P&R at the moment :D

For feather, [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedobear[/url]

When I googled that it came up that one entry had been removed because it contained child pornography,

Re: MS Suggestion Box

Well the bots if any, in P&R, only post links and don't talk ... but the ones in Movies, they make posts about the movies and their signatures are spam links. So it's distracting to check a thread thinking someone made a new reply only to find out it's a stock post.

[quote]are you offended by the bear pictured here? You should be! He's pedobear, an internet mascot for pedophilia. Sort of. It's not like actual pedophiles go around iding each other by little badges with a teddy on them. If they did that, they'd probably have a lot of awkward run-ins with preschool teachers. Pedobear is just a character made to [I][B]mock[/B][/I] pedophilia. And like anything interesting on the internet, he's often feared and grossly misunderstood. [/quote]

I never said I was offended or asked for it to be removed. Can you read? I was shocked by it and the fact that it doesn't represent any part of MS that I can see. [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=257"]James Holden[/URL] on the other hand does represent this forum. Nice try!

nothing wrong with posting an opinion. thing is people need to stop getting their panties all up in a bunch over ridiculous things. if that seriously offends you as someone states is more mocking than to be taken seriously, then some of you people need to step away from a computer from time to time...

the problem with this board isnt the board itself, but too many pansies that post here.

peace out...!
