jrisreal please listen to 2day.

i know you probably don't think this but you are part of the very problem we're trying to sort out here. you've been registered for a couple of months and have more posts than people who have been here 2/3/4 years.

as was stated earlier the good posts to wasteman posts ratio is weighed so heavily on the waste side atm which is annoying. apart from that i'm with kaori in that there isn't much else wrong. yeah sometimes there is a lack of good threads but we can change that.

for me the ableton q+a thread is my favourite on here, never any bitching, barely any inane chatter which doesn't mean we don't have a laugh but there is a big difference between a cpl of joke posts and tons of inane bullshit. n00bs that come on that thread actually listen when we give them advice. when we say things like if you explain your problem fully, provide screenshots etc... you're more likely to get help they seem to listen. i genuinely try to help anyone in that thread that i can because i know the atomosphere of the thread is always a positive one and it does give back to me too. i pick up tips from there all the time from people of varying experience/knowledge levels.

this does make me sad . its the second time I've been told exactly this. I've been posting, not trying to gain post counts (trust me thats the last thing on my mind) but to help people out. I'm willing to tone it down though for the sake of the forum.

If it's any consolation I haven't seen any posts by you that particularly irked me, even the irrelevant ones don't bother me because you're not being a cock, trolling, or annoying anybody intentionally, and while you might be a bit over the top with your posting I don't feel it's really denigrating the standard of the forum, you're just being yourself it seems to me, and your posts aren't going to stop anybody who has more knowledge or experience from contributing... This whole "people post too much" argument holds little to no weight with me and I'm sure many others.

Overall we seem to be on opposing sides of this whole debate but on that point I'd definitely agree with you... ...Although I've no idea how that came up as I haven't read the previous page...

As long as I can lurk, I'm happy

Sorry guys I edited my reply for so long that it's different now lol - I'm tired!

scroll up!

I dunno if I could be considered part of the community on here seeing as I' very rarely post/check the forum anymore.. but I'd say part of the reason my interest in DSFp dried up was because of the decrease in engaging and progressive posts and the influx of a whole new generation of beat geeks. Think the idea of a sub-forum is on the money, at least one that doesn't deal with the very basic of DAW issues like sequencing/quantising and posts such as "How to make dis baseline" etc.

I honestly think that'll sort it out the majority of problems on here, I don't think a cap or restriction of any sorts would be wise, I've been on a couple of horrible grime/dnb forums that are terribly restrictive, with stuff like "to view/post in this section you must have X amount of posts" which really takes away from the "learning" experience (also fun) you get from a forum and turns into a sort some of system and I doubt music is about that. I think the sub-forum should just be maintained, and any post that don't need to be there get deleted. Simple as, whether that is possible or not is another issssue but that just my opinion

Every forum i have ever been on, the older members seem to remember the 'older better days' of the forum.

Seems like you go around ruining forums doesn't it?

Yes I totally agree with this. It's like there's primary school, high school, university etc. Different levels of knowledge and education. I think the idea of distinguish between levels of ability makes people squeamish, but we do it all the time in society, sometimes it's bad, but often it's a good thing.

don't take it too personally, you were close and on the radar so an easier hit to make my point. try just posting a little less and see how it goes. i'm not saying you should stop trying to help people out but in a thread talking about how we can improve this place comments about how we should fuck it off and how you want to be a mod etc... just aren't helpful.

also word of advice for general forum behaviour, begging to be a mod is a great way to never become one although i'm not sure why you would want to be a mod it's a thankless task.

I think this sums up how i feel too

Is anyone going to take any kind of action? At least we could trial the idea of advanced subforum

This.

I think maybe a voting system or invite to get access bit elitist but oh well

My theory is that we have two separate forums. This will sort the 'wheat from the chaff', the 'men from the boys' etc. Have a thread forum for audiphillia, geekery, production nerdery, equipment etc etc. THEN have another separate forum for 'how to make sounds', 'starting in dubstep', 'work in progresses', 'tutorials' etc. I know this seems like pure capitalism/fashism, but I'm not gonna lie, something drastic like that is the only was DSF can be saved - production wise. I think the high level geekery of the actual new production forum will be like a kinda door policy, and it'll scare off thew sKr1!/eX bAss!iNe 0o0o_-_0o threads - or at least, send them to a separate section of DSF.

constantly deleting questionable threads (things that could be left up, arent repeated questions, but you just find some reason that it shouldn't be here..)

there have been numerous times i can think of when i opened up a thread that was prepared to answer or try to help the person and then see LOCKED READ STICKIES NOOB LOLOLOLOL.

before you were a mod very rarely would i see locked threads.. but during that first period you became mod you just went ape shit with the ban hammer... power hungry? starved for affection? i dno. either way it was wack and im glad youve cooled off a bit and hopefully will continue to do so.

Ive never banned someone or trolled... Infact, I can't ban anyone.

Theres only been a few threads ive locked what haven't been reported ( I can count the amount on one hand)... Everything I lock or move has been reported more than once...The reason nothing was moderated before I was a mod was because it was only Sharmaji on his own and the other mods before he was one didn't go into production... Everyones asking for stricter modding anyways..

You're entitled to your opinion obviously but the majority appreciate it and want it stricter..

howiegroove wrote:Hey Leg, can you just ban multiple offenders?

No I can only send their user name for consideration to be banned.








As to everyones ideas and requests... Some are going to take a while to see if we can impliment it.. We have a new mod lined up and we will be much stricter.. Which is all we can do at this exact moment but in the not-to-distant future we will try and get a forum split and that if theres enough votes (poll will be put up by the end of the week).


THIS THREAD WILL BE LOCKED ON MONDAY PLEASE GET YOUR SUGGESTIONS IN BEFORE THEN.

(it'll be locked as things will start to change and don't want a constant discussion 'ere - people can send me suggestions all the time via PM.. which hardly anyone does but still moans about things and say the mods do fuck all.. )

I wasn't saying I wanted to be a mod. And the whole idea about a new DSF was just an idea so that we could start off new, yknow.

forum's fine

I say we create Brostepforum and kick all the Skrillex heads out to that. Leaving a happy Dubstepforum again.

Can I still be a mod?

Is anyone getting the impression that jrisreal wants to be a mod? . . .



. . . Nah probably just me.
