ATTN: TA DJs: I would like your input
A:
The first thing I would like to address in this thread is the internet radio show issue.
We're always going to have people creating threads with links to their upcoming internet radio shows, despite the stickied thread stating not to. My only thought is that posting radio show links IS a pretty legitimate form of promoting oneself as a DJ. I'm well aware of the stickied thread in MD, but I feel this falls under 'DJ Promotion' more than it does 'Music Discussion'.
To make this forum a touch more useful to up-and-coming DJs who want to promote themselves in any way possible, do you guys think that a similar thread, like in MD, would be a good thing in DJ Promo, or completely redundant? Specifically, I would make a stickied thread where ALL future radio shows would have to be posted, and any threads made outside of the sticky would be deleted.
B:
The second point of discussion is that, here and there, we get threads from the owners/scouters/whatevers of internet radio stations, asking for DJs to contribute their mixes, which will then be aired. There REALLY doesn't seem to be a place for this on TA, other than this forum. And, again, I feel that this is a legitimate way of promoting ones skills as a DJ.
How do you guys feel about a stickied thread specifically for that?
I really, really, really don't want DJ Promo to be filled with radio show threads and radio promoters advertising their new station, as I think it would obscure the threads where mixes are put up for peer review, which should be the focus of this forum. However, would a couple of stickied threads addressing these things be a nice middle ground?
Tell me your thoughts and feelings people!  If you think it's a shit idea, then say so. If you have other ideas, put them up for discussion
