Dubstepforum.com

A lifted studio forum like ... Why ?

#1. DON'T BE A DUMBASS

rule #1 can manifest itself in many, many ways. The most common one is DON'T BREAK THE LAW IN PLAIN DAYLIGHT. IE, don't ask/post about cracked software or warez on a public forum, and don't share copyrighted material (most commonly, samples).

#2. New to dubstep? Got a question about production? Welcome to the family. We're more than happy to help, but it's a 2-way street, so do your due diligence: USE THE SEARCH BUTTON and READ THE STICKIES before you ask.

#3. As fellow producers, we want to hear your tunes, tune ideas, synthesis projects, etc. there's 2 threads up top for feedback-- post 'em there, rather than making a new thread.

that's all.

That's all no ?

I don't see it as being elitist at all, but some quality control.

I also think there does need to be another mod to ease the strain on you good few! But maybe one from a regular user (thinking basic a, fstz, whyrez, abz) who can then have the access to lock (but not delete threads) just a lil bit more power to the people

Power scares me.

Give it to Deadly and Whyrez.

Nope, I don't want to get bitched at when I lock all of Serox's posts

this whole thread is prove of the fact that an "advanced" section is needed

maybe instead of an advanced section we could just get a beginners section

I like that idea!

So to sum up:

What's the conclusion of this thread That is the fundamental question that needs answering

Fuck me, possibly the smartest thing I've heard said on this thread!!

LOL i thought you was going to say "fuck off, what a dumb idea"

but would the beginners go to the beginners section then?
And what would you see first, haha

but yes it is a very good idea, and less elitist as well so might be better in that way as well

a. The public square or marketplace of an ancient Roman city that was the assembly place for judicial activity and public business.

b. A public meeting place for open discussion.

c. A medium for open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a newspaper, a radio or television program, or a website.

just saying

Yes label it beginners lol, and we will go there to help to them, providing its not how do you make wub wub wub..

I haven't really said much on this thread. But here's my 2 cents:

No matter what forum I've been on, be it a guitar forum, a dubstep forum or a drum and bass forum, they have all had the exact same problem. People whining about a certain type of thread. In Guitar forums it was people whining about n00bs posting shit like "how do I sound like Kirk Hammet" in the Drum and bass forums it was people whining about threads asking how to make Reese basses and here it's wobbles.

The problem is universal and won't be solved. You can moderate as hard as you like and create as many sub forums as possible and you'll still never stop all the stupid threads. You can sticky things, but some people will just never read them, and you can try as you might to work out some kind of elaborate system of prevention when it comes to these threads, but the truth is there is no escaping them.

If you set up a beginners thread you're going to have an even bigger problem, because while everyone likes to imagine they'd pop by and try to help, the truth is deep down most of us know we just won't when it comes down to it at the end of the day. We'll try once or twice a week to go in and give some advice, and then it'll dwindle to once a month, then to once every two months, then we'll forget the beginner forum even exists. When it comes to crunch time people never do what they said they will. So you'll end up with a beginners forum where they don't get enough help, get disillusioned and leave. Which ultimately is even worse for the forum. Even if you did manage to separate the n00b from the elite you'd still have a problem where every now and then a total idiot would get through to the higher level sub forum and ask something retarded. So the problem still isn't solved.

If you split it the other way and create an advanced forum you've got the same problem, just under a different guise. The best solution is to stop getting so upset by wobble threads and the likes.

Every forum/online community I've ever been a part of has the same problem as DSF does. It's not a sign the forum is dying or getting worse (as it's often declared to be). It's a completely natural part of an online community. /b/ has been complaining that 'newfags' are ruining it since day one, Ultimate-guitar.com has been complaining that all 'the cool old-cigarettes left because it was too strict' and that 'there are too many penis threads' (although that's kinda to be expected on a forum about guitar), doa is still complaining about 'reese threads' and dsf will always complain about wobble threads.

There is no solution to this problem. If you even consider it a problem. To me it's just a natural state of being for any forum that is fairly impossible to combat effectively with any resource other than a degree of patience and friendliness towards the offending group.

/\ Just my thoughts on the issue. You're all welcome to disagree with me.

I just thought I should get a post here to stick up for all the lurkers.

For everybody posting noobish threads that get in the way, there are probably two or three people who just lurk and learn about stuff.

Any steps taken against the lurkers would be bad for everyone involved I think, because you never know when a lurker might actually have something important to say.

+1 I lurked for weeks anonymously when I started on this before I made a post.

Uh, maybe it's just me, but I don't actually feel like I'm subjected to all that many threads that are actually about making wobble basses?
