anyone else feel like the promoting on this board is getting out of hand?

event threads are being started way too early. didnt we used to have a rule about that? some threads we obviously have no problems with (like ones made by kaenow cuz he contributes to the forum in other ways), but others like the ones made by that full on douchebag or meeko... they never post anything other than their own parties they are promoting. theyve been told to use the events thread but still never do it.

anyone else getting tired of seeing all this spam? or am i the only one?

to be honest, it doesn't really bother me solely because of the fact that the florida thread is pretty dead. in any given normal, non-wmc related day, there are really maybe only 1 or 2 new threads that pop up. i find it easy enough to sift through.

but on the other side, rules are rules and if there are rules against that, then those posters should abide by them.

Weaksauce post is weaksauce.

promoting to a certain degree i have zero problem with and yes the forum is dead, but that fact that its only filled with bs threads has somewhat to do with that. who wants to post here when all this is a big advertisement anyway?

its not promoting per say thats the problem, its who its by. full on and meeko contribute ZERO. all they post is events with their shitty flyers which NONE of us ever go to. what is the point? its JUST clutter. riotgear and kaenow atleast promote shit we actually go to AND they post about other shit than just their events.

oh and we DID kick all the atlanta people out of this forum when it was the southeast forum many years ago for this same exact reason. liquified was promoting all their events and because none of us cared we kicked them out. dont know how many people remember that, but yea, thats how it went down. so how is this any different?

i don't think its out of hand. i mean apart from the threads that contain big gigs, the FL Event thread is kind of dead lol- but it's also good that TA has a big group of dedicated contributors such as yourself. I dont really see it as a problem, some people just think "spamming" without any research beforehand is a good marketing technique

however i do think that the WMC thread was started wayy too early..

im inclined to agree.one thing i dont like is someone spams the board here and have no idea what this site is about,doesent care about the music,or anything to do with the scene.

they only know about this site from people who have talked about it or heard about it somewhere and see it as a way to further thier own means.even the club i go to is guilty of doin that here.

if your one of these promoters who do this trust me,people on here can tell.go spam another site

I was thinking I was about to get chewed out on this thread Thanks Pat I usually just post things that I'm directly affiliated with (djing at) or if it's something really good that has been overlooked. Kaeno is a really cool guy. I'm glad he posts his podcasts. I get them every week, and really enjoy them.

Let me know though if it gets annoying I'll figure out other ways to promote events. I don't want this to be like "when you walk up to your car and there's a flyer stuck to your window after it rained".

I just searched on Facebook for an official TA group, and did not find one. Am I missing something or is there really not a group? That could help to eliminate a lot of clutter on this board if you could direct random promoters to the group for event posts.

I sometimes see those Meeko threads but shortly after Manny merges it with the events thread.

I totally agree on spamming. I fuking complain about that shit all the time in NY. You guys think you have it bad?

That shit is a disaster. All these stupid little nobodies throwing stupid little wack parties.

thank fuk ny is finally getting a mod after 5 fuking years. Maybe you should just tell Manny - he will have no problem cleaning this place up if you bring it to his attn <3

oh, not to mention we have 3 threads for 1 event plus 1 roll call plus 1 review. Shits insane.

Something like this can not happen. You can not keep bumping your own thread just to get it to the top. Posts should be deleted or thread locked or something. Maybe Manny has just becomes used to overlooking Meeko's threads haha. i know i do!
