Shocked Isn't he supposed to only eat healthy things now like apples and neo-prog?

A question (or two) for those of you with experience of other forums.


Where's does Progarchives forum sit in terms of civility, strictness vs. freedom of speech, number of members who get banned/warned/suspended, friendliness etc., compared to other forums (music related or not)?


Besides some things that bother me that you will never change (graphic smileys, the ability for huge fonts), I would say you err on the side of leniency a bit too much. At my forum, I would never allow anything like the Velvet Room (forums are forums, not chat rooms), nor would I let some of the spammier things slide without a temp ban or at least a warning. Although my forum has a language filter, I think Progtologist is a bit overzealous in censoring.

Am I a hardass? Possibly. That being said, the users here are (generally) much more mature than there, and usually friendlier, probably in part because the age group of this forum skews very upward because many of our members started liking prog in the '70s, or someone discovered prog at around 16 after liking terrible music before. Whereas my forum has many 14 year old videogame spazeroids.

 

Take a stroll through some of these forums, especially the Halo forums, and you'll probably see why I have to be strict most of the time. It can get a bit tiresome...My name is the same, if you want to look me up for some reason.


Wow. You're no fun (on the PA). You have to let Velveteers exist. The VR allows prog fans to discuss different things while not having to worry about topics.

Yeah.  If they weren't talking about random stuff in the Velvet Room, they'd be talking about random stuff in the middle of a topic about music.
