About sigs, only mods have the ability to edit sigs, unless it is your own signature then of course you can edit it. Anyway, we now have a measure in place to keep people from editing sigs for no reason. If your sig is edited, most of the time, it is offensive or too big and then you have to change it. If you feel your sig has been edited unjustly, pm swamper about it.

Now about erin's little comment. We try our best to keep threads bashing other countries out of the forums. Cept when people bash their own countries for valid reasons, like Canada and the idiotic prime minister we have.

Or are you just randomly accusing the uk mods when you dont actually no?



Andy just checked for me, and I'm happy to find out that it wasn't any TA mod who edited it. I felt it was a reasonable assumption at the time, but now we know that it was some hacking troll.

It's a good job you didn't accuse the ukta's prematurely, eh?

Oh wait...

Yes it is my fault for assuming your bitterness and acerbity extended to others.

I urge any TAs (other than Joe) who feel they have a problem with me to please PM me and we'll work things out privately (and I'll give you my msn).

Thanks,
David

Agreed, on that matter, any mod care to answer my post on the previous page

As for the joining fee, hell no! I for one would have to stop visiting, stupid idea imo.


Posted by occrider on Oct-18-2003 07:01:

Yes ... back on topic. Anyway, you mods would be way cooler if only you would show us your tits.

Generally, i'd say a good job, a hell of a lot better than some other forums i've seen.

My only gripe is with the way mods are distributed so to speak. As Nik said, in the amatuar producers forum, there are one or two mods who produce/post, but i'd be shocked if the other three had posted once (in the amatuar forum) in the last 6 months. I think that is a problem, as an active poster in that specific forum would be a far batter choice than someone who has no intrest whatsoever in ta's amatuar producers/never reads the forum...



I take it u mean this question arctic ?

The way the mods are distributed, well, for a start, the regional forums are modded by members from that region (well duh lol)

The amatatur forum to use your example is modded by a couple of members that do produce / dj etc and also by a few mods that have been on this board since almost the start of TA.
Those more senior mods do tend to take a step back in those forums letting those mods with more knowledge on the given subject run that forum, but every now and then they go on vacation or are at school or involved in something to do with the 'real' world and cant always be there which is where if things get out of hand then one of the senior mods can deal with any problems.

this goes for all of those unique forums.

Plus they are also split by time region, this is a global board so the UK mods for example would be asleep or out for the night whilst for example an AU mod would be around on the boards.

it is arranged so that for 99% of the time all of the main forums / unique forums have someone around to mod any of those said forums if they need it.


Posted by torontotrance on Oct-18-2003 17:50:

I agree with neo about 99% of forums having someone to mod them. We all try our best, even being on different time zones. It works quite well in some circumstances.


Posted by DJ Mikey Mike on Oct-21-2003 13:41:

I would really like to put a stop to these stupid "pics or stfu" posts. I mean i'm sure some of you remember the girl who came on and asked a question about what DJ's do u find attractive. Instead of an answer, she got the "omg.. a girl on TA?!?!?! pics of stfu!" To my knowledge, she never came back.

Now take THIS thread for example. The guy wants some serious help. But what does he get:

quote:
Yous in da shiet man


quote:
H4x0r3d!



Every post i see its "[insert word here] or stfu!" It's gone beyond pathetic and it's usually the same people over and over. If you can't understand this then let me put it to you in a way in which u might:

"Stfu or Stfu."

this is far from the truth. anyone who comes on at approx 7am my time until gone lunch time can get away with posting anything they want. All the main forum mods are either canadian, american, or if not then hav other commitments that unable them to come on in the morning.


Posted by St_Andrew on Oct-21-2003 13:55:

I agree with mike in a way. some people just write to much shit. I don't care if it is in chill out, but in other forums...

and one more thing... about chill out again, you shouldn't close so many threads... after all it's chill out


Posted by J.L. on Oct-22-2003 04:59:

I think chill-out should have less moderation on it b/c after all, it is chill-out... It may be stupid when ppl but I don't really think it causes any harm done in anything... As for new ppl being scared off... the majority of new ppl signing up for TA forums have already lurked around for at least a while so I think it's safe to say that they understand and have some knowledge of what goes on in chill-out

Here are several ideas that I have that I think could help:

Production Studio:
put a sticky thread for newbies trying to get started with producing... I've already seen too many of those "Hi, i would like to start producing/Which program should I use?/Should I get hardware instead of software" threads... it's ridiculous.

Humour Section:
There should be an option or something for when you create a thread saying if the thread is either "suitable for work/school" or "not suitable for work/school" like how the "For Sale" forum has a "WTB" or "for sale" option.

Amateur Producers forum:
I don't think there needs to be too many mods done on this forum as things generally go well.

For the other forums, I think they are in good condition and really don't need any changes

General:
There should be something like banning certain links like goatsecx or ******* b/c not everyone knows about what's in those websites so it would be a good thing if ppl never had to see those pictures..

Generally i agree, but to be honest, in the amatuar forum, i have only ever seen two (possibly three) of the mods actually post/view the forum more than once/ever.

So the people that say "pics or stfu" are automatically idiots?

Anyways I've never had any major problems with the mods except for a few instances. Recently when I was on vacation one of the UK mods decided it would be funny to edit my sig to say, "User is too stupid and ugly for TA." This statement is of course laughable, but is slander nonetheless. I have also seen occasions in the US forums where posts were made and people have "said" things that they actually didn't say (i.e. someone with access to the person's account posted something fraudulent on behalf of another member). I'm not saying it was a mod's doing in those instances, but who else has the authority to edit peoples' posts?

These are relatively minor things of course, but they still constitute an abuse of power and are also a testament to the immaturity of the individuals involved. They also perpetuate the kind of petty bullshit that has infected TA as of late, which would be in all our best interests to avoid.


well there is only two mods of the uk forum, me and jeff.

i dont think jeff would have done such a thing and i cant rememebr doing anything of the sort either...
