A good rule to counter with the weekly mixes threads is to have people make a single thread and simply update it instead of starting a new thread for every mix. Most posters who do this sort of thing only use the forum as a sort of promotion, anyways and don't really contribute anything else. Of course, the forum should and must be open to anyone who wants to post their mixes, but this way makes stuff less annoying to those of us who do actively contribute and want to use the forum to receive constructive criticism.

Just my $0.02

It's a good idea, but I'm not sure how well it would actually stop the burying of threads. I mean, a bumped thread on the first page is still a thread on the first page, right? There will still be just as many, just as often. And it's not that often we have multiple threads from the same person all on the front page at once (System-J has 3 right now, damn it! )

Yeah that would just result in the same threads being super bumped lol. I thought about that, but that's why I prefer a separate forum for weekly shows. Most of the people who post them don't actually do shit on the forum except post their thing weekly.

I don't suppose we could have a "common" mix forum for them, and then a more exclusive mix forum for the people who actually contribute a lot and would like some feedback on their stuff. I guess the problem is how does one try to get into the exclusive forum. Maybe set up some system where people had to ask a moderator first? And if they were just posting their weekly mixes or whatever a moderator could move them to the regular forum?

I don't know, just random ideas. It's irritating if you post a mix and then want to get some feedback on it and it's on the second page after a day. Most people don't go in deep looking for mixes, and I know that personally I feel like a douche if I just keep bumping my mix =/

I hear what you're saying, but I'm not sure it would be a good idea to have 'exclusive' type forums like that. TA is already harsh enough on noobs as it is, so no need to make it even harder for them

The thing is, the more someone contributes to the site (not just here with mixes/reviews etc, but in MD and COR as well), the more likely their mixes will be checked out by other users. Put something in, get something back.

Getting them to contribute isn't easy though

I know, I know. That would just make us look even more aristocratic haha.

It can just get annoying with all the people who really aren't members of the community making it hard for people in the community to get their stuff checked out.

I understand your reasoning though

One sticky for stream promotion and one sticky for those other guys. And if still posts of that stuff come up, then just delete without warning.

Simple and effective.

Ok, the sticky for radio show owners/scouters has been sorted

I'm waiting to hear back from Swamper about the possibility of have a sub-forum here in DJ Promo specifically for people to post their upcoming radio shows/streams. If yes, woot! If no, then I'll make a sticky thread for them too.

There are quite a few stickies up there now. Are you guys happy to have them all there, or are some useless/never used?
