Your feedback required

Ok, here is your chance to get off your chests once and for all, to have your say, your rant, etc etc on the TA mods ! !

Do you think the mods of TA are doing a good job, are we too harsh in some of our decisions, if we're going wrong, where do you think we're making mistakes etc
What do you like about the TA mods, where are we going right ?

be constructive in your replies, don't insult us, thats not the idea, the mods of TA are here to make TA better for you, and we all want to do a good job, so give us your feedback so that we can continue working for you and you can help make TA a better place for us all.

I think you could be harsher at times... You seem to be doing the most thread closing and the others just... well, aren't there. This is particularily noticeable in certain forums (ie. Amateur Producers) where the people who are supposed to be mods there have probably never even been there.

I agree. The mods need to be more visible and take more action than what they are doing now. We could use a proper statement on the rules of this forum,too (esp regarding file sharing). Also, you guys need to sort yourselves out. I've seen a lot of bad mouthing and bashing between mods lately, and IMHO I think that it just might be affecting your performance as mods of this forum. There are also several mods that I haven't seen post anything for a long time. (i.e breakdown or Wicked Red) Perhaps a re-evaulation of who should/shouldn't be mods and a debate on potential replacements would be a good idea?

agree, the smaller forums defently need some new mods that actually are active there...

perhaps there should be a rotation of mods as some become less active and care less about what goes on on these boards.

You're doing a good job.

LOL thanx - corrected now

I think that many people have been feeling recently that mods are letting personal issues influence their decisions as a mod.

For instance some mods have recently been banning people for issues they have had with people away from TA (such as banning people for things from IRC), or banning people in arguements where the mod has behaved just as badly as the suspended user.


My two cents, so to speak.

I think there should be some rules about what's generally acceptable and what isn't, and some message actually stating that MP3 sharing is not "supported". Because when there's MP3 downloads on the main page, the average newbie will most likely be unaware that these are cleared with the artists, and head straight for the forums asking for MP3's. Don't get me wrong, too many rules (like homeofmusic.com) can look unappealing and put people off but already with over 20,000 members, I think some little rules are pretty essential.

Another thing, I would issue an instant ban to members like this:

And anyone who blatantly attacks somebody who has a different taste in music. Because that person has already shown that they are too immature to have a place on a discussion forum. So if they can't have proper discussions and will attack people for liking something they don't like. Why have them here? People like this are IMO the main problem of many online forums, much more of a problem than those who come and don't use the search topic or start a thread asking where to download music.

Anyway, that's my input for this.

I agree with the homeofmusic comment. I used to love that place and was quite an active member. It was my first music forum ever and will always hold a special place in my heart. However, the overabundance of rules there drives everyone crazy.

The way I see it, being a mod is a thankless job. You're doing a fine job Neo. However, there are a few mods that are never active and therefore shouldn't be mods.

Combine a vote with the increased harshness and voila

i think the mod in the German Forum is doing a great job. We have a sticky on rules -explaining filesharing etc. He is quite present, closing threads that he thinks are inappropriate but he has always been approachable about closed threads.

Generally, I understand that it is _VERY_ hard to be impartial as a mod. Especially in the smaller forums, mods might tend to get into arguments and abuse their power. I wish that wouldn't happen, but i live in the real world -sometimes.

Overall I think you guys are doing a good job. A little more presence and coordination would help.

I agree. I also think that some people brownose to the mods and gain the mods' favoritism so they have something to fall back on when they get in a sticky situation.

I've seen some people banned for simply spamming a few forums before they know the rules, yet there seem to be people who spam day in and day out with nothing constructive to offer and nothing is done to them.

I think the Mods need to be fair and objective. There seems to be a lot of negativity and drama on the forums lately, this could probably be solved with the removal of a few individuals.

the reasoning in this is the latter has usually been a non spamming contributing memeber before they go on some sort of post rampage, whereas the first is just advertising in every forum scum-like-people-who-make-spam-emails type thing.

if u c what i mean.

All in all I think the mods do a good job. Sometimes I get the impression that sometimes they abuse their power, but then I dont know everything that's going on at the time, so it's not my place to say.

Having a vote for mods is a great idea. It means people aren't going to get bored and start slacking after a couple of weeks, and it also means it's gonna be a fair choice, no biased decisions and stuff.

I dont think the mods need to be any harsher than they are. Maybe they need to keep people's language and abuse in order a bit more, after all, this is a discussion board, so people are going to have conflicting interests, but sometimes it gets out of hand.

Just one more thing, people in general need to have a bit more respect for others on here I think. That doesnt go for everybody, just the odd few who insult people needlessly and cause full-on flame wars. I dont want to be reading that, and neither do a lot of others. Other than that, everythings cool!!

I already talked to the mods that I had problems with awhile back. I think the situation is slowly getting under control and I respect all the mods on this board. So...I can understand were you guys have fustrations, but if you bring it to their attention, you can get a better response

I was fine with all the mods until today when a CERTAIN mod closed a much needed bagina stink discussion!!!!
