The Way to Fix MS from Becoming Old

Re: The Way to Fix MS from Becoming Old

You are completely ignoring the problem of inappropriate links.

Have you been reporting said inappropriate links to the mods for quite a while now with no response Didi?

Most importantly, this thread is a bit of a debacle because if anyone has a problem they can always contact a mod in private.

Pickle has been stepping Mercury Server's game up for the past several months via the dj database, which has been an awesome contribution as I am sure everyone would agree.

Re: The Way to Fix MS from Becoming Old

I have certainly brought it up in the forums, which I think is the appropriate place. See this is part of the problem, we should be able to openly discuss problems in the forums. It's not dirty little secrets to be handled behind closed doors

I think pretty much any dj set here is not innapropriate. If there are tons of dupes, then thats what mods are for, and if they aren't being merged to everyones satisfication, maybe some new ppl want to be mods eh?

I'd say 99% of the stuff in P+R I have no interest in, but I don't want that stuff to ever go away. I just starting listening to The Revenge just last year and went back thru the archives and downloaded everything I could find. A big archive of stuff which I never noticed before and which (one person may not like) has to be a good thing rather than a bad thing.

Also GarryX looks like most of his posts are from soundcloud(?) I don't think that site is any way used to monetize download links.

Re: The Way to Fix MS from Becoming Old

Of course they are inappropriate if they are linking us to porn, not to mention that some are crappy radio rips ! Why would I want those when I can go to soundcloud and get something like this amazing Guy J set from Guy J himself. Soundcloud links are great!! I haven't found any reason to complain about GarryX in fact for me putting up Soundcloud links is a great way to it.

I have no problem with people making money if we get quality out of it. But we aren't.

I don't want stuff to go away , I just want it presented in the best way possible not crappy rips from very dubious links .

Re: The Way to Fix MS from Becoming Old

I haven't really been looking in p+r much at all lately is there a ton of porn/spam? Those stupid bots usually get banned pretty quickly from what I've seen of them if they post in other forums here.

Re: The Way to Fix MS from Becoming Old

Anything which isn't on fileplanet/soundcloud/megadownload/rapidshare etc I'd just skip if it were posted in there...

Re: The Way to Fix MS from Becoming Old

obviously we need a bot that scraps URLs posted there and stuff them with MS's affiliate code to help pay server costs or whatever

It would also be wicked if there was a way to subscribe to MS member mixes.

This.

How can anyone discover and follow great local talent if their posts are pushed back into obscurity by 50 posts about David Guetta?

"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

No, but really, I see what you mean, searching by prefix... but I think the idea was to have a means of aggregating and listing and making available subscriptions to local talent, similar to DJ Database...

Like their own separate dj database? That's an interesting idea. Dj's that are a part of MS could be a part of the standard database as well as a separate database... or something to that affect.

Re: The Way to Fix MS from Becoming Old

searches won't work because they're done by user session IIRC.

something like subscribe to all threads with that tag and then post the feed in the member home would do the trick

^^ exactly. Right now I am a part of that database, but it doesn't give a distinction in case a person was wondering if they were local or not. could be something interesting to implement or to have a secondary separate "locals" database...

Re: The Way to Fix MS from Becoming Old

Ah bummer...Yeah I thought that search ID would be consistent across users.
