MS Suggestion Box

Re: MS Suggestion Box

If you want to jerk off just Google porn. Promos & Recommendations is fucked. There are just to many threads where people are using the forum for their own financial gain. Obviously views are diverse on this but no one can deny its a problem. The whole section looks like a graveyard. Much as I hate subforums I think you would be better off creating a new sub forum but only where users can post music from the top 50 subscribed artists in the MS database (not necessary 50 look at the demographics and draw a line where you think the tastes of the forum are represented), sort of like a VIP or Favourite 50 type thing. It could also be reviewed at the periodically to accommodate with users changing tastes over periods of time. I'm not sure whether is possible to automatically direct threads when they are created in a main forum to a sub forum, or expecting users to do this themselves and getting moderators to move threads out of the subsection if they have been posted there when they shouldn't have been and warning persistent offenders. Lets face it no one gives to shits about 95% of the artists being posted in P&R at the moment.

Or limite the users who can post links. P&R has always been fine when it was regular users posting sets and our podcast bots. In fact back then, at least I knew most of the sets come from people with similar music tastes or people I trust.

Re: MS Suggestion Box

I agree with feather and Chunky. P&R needs a revamp.

^that's a really interesting idea Chunk. I'd be with that.

Maybe it should be like the Premiership at the end of the season 5 get promoted 5 get relegated

Re: MS Suggestion Box

Since the forum is having a clean up...

On some fourms they have the badwords filter that replaces swearwords with other much more hilarious words. I think that would be awesome.

I just about spit my Wunderbar out when I saw the pedobear banner. What's up with that? It really bothers me that there is a symbol for pedophelia that is socially accepted somehow.
So titties aren't ok in the GYY but the pedobear is?

Re: MS Suggestion Box

Hang on what is this pedobear? I thought it was just Zabiela with a bear head.

Re: MS Suggestion Box

if you're going to let the bots run wild in P&R, can you at least make them post tracklists too?

Re: MS Suggestion Box

I've noticed the bots aren't as busy in P&R at the moment

For feather, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedobear

When I googled that it came up that one entry had been removed because it contained child pornography,
