Personally when I see over a page or more of posts by the same person with a similar motif, I find I lose interest mainly because it seems the page has been taken over by one person and there doesn't seem to be the same amount of group interest. However I do give credit to them for perseverance and tenacity in expressing a musical passion, and after all, it's good clean fun. Opinions? ------------- My Doc Told Me I Have Doggie Head. |

No offense but that sounds like a personal problem. If i had free time and i want to catch up on Micky's polls, i'm going to go through the ones i've missed - not stare at my screen for 5 minutes while a timer passes. Talk about losing interest? I think i'd leave the site. This is a community forum, powered by posting. The forum is already slow as it is, don't want a massive list of posts in threads? Lower the date requirement in the top left. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

well... we could talk about something else I suppose. like the current admin team. Great guys.. but I haven't failed to notice I haven't got ONE SINGLE warning PM from them since I've come back. sh*t man... I had an entire PM box full of them with Micky v.1 and old classic admin team. Good times man! That was a potent team a mix of real tough guys and ultra anal retentive types. Either I've really mellowed or the current admin team is a group of good natured pussies... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

^ A little of both but on the balance I'd say we have a very level-headed Admin team. On the other hand, this place is a rose garden compared to the mid-00s, so that works. Plus I miss Bob and Tony and Jody's presence as much as their policing. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

We need fewer rules. We have five. All of them reduce down to one: don't be a dick. When common decency, good manners, respect, consideration and observing basic netiquette is the norm there is no need for rules and Moderators. Sadly, some inflated egos around here believe themselves to be above all that bollocks. It's been fun, now it's not. see ya. ------------- What? |

We have a forum's volunteer guard composed by some people who are de facto above the moderator. Acting as a forum's police, what is a priori violation of this forum's policy and the rules, they think that only they know how the board should look like, and they, therefore, are patrolling the forum. Thus, everything is permitted except that which they do not like personally! Their mode of operation is quite simple: discourage and offend the members (e.g. call the members' posts "spam" for no reason, direct personal insults, posting lies and so on) who post something they did not like it for any reason. |

I think the number of posts each person should be permitted to post on a page (or in a thread) should be inversely proportionate to that person's age. ------------- Want to play mafia? Visit http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com" rel="nofollow - here . |

yeah David.. I was quite impressed.. and all too happy to take my dose of forum-moderation when I stepped over the line in my tongue-in-cheek vitriol against SWilson. I'd never think about insulting people ...I mean really insulting them.. but when you live the life of straddling the line .. stepping over it occasionally happens. Some took offense.. others saw the potential and told me I might want to tone it down. Of course I did.  problem found and solved without problem. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |
