I agree totally man. CP was actually a really entertaining board back in the day. They had a very loose system...maybe a little too loose at times though, lol. Some of the drama threads were out of control.

But, to me, thats fairly easy to keep under control. Obviously, if a thread is getting offensive and drama-filled, it needs to be closed. But honestly, how often does that even happen here?

The other main problem is spam. But Zaneta did an amazing job of getting rid of it all. Its really non-existent now.

So, besides those two issues...what else really needs to be monitored around here?

Originally posted by zizack lol, douche. I am just legitimately curious. As an example...for years, we have been able to talk about sports here in NYTA...whether it be hockey, UFC, snowboarding, boxing, The Yankees, whatever.... now Sports threads must all be moved to the Sports Forum...? Just curious what has changed, and why? To me, those just seem like normal NYTA discussions.

i agree on this, sports are something you should be able to talk about in your own "groups" local forums. if all this stuff is centralized people won't see it, like maybe 10 people post in the sports discussion thread. it's almost not worth starting some threads if you can't reach a wide range of people...

i do agree though that z has done a great job cleaning this place up.

And then he threw the bills right in Trump's face/hair! Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

Ever since steven neil stopped posting the ny boards are boring.

Seems like when everyone was asking for a mod, they didn't factor all aspects of what the mod must do.
In reality, what everyone really wanted was someone to get rid of those pesky spamming promoters and spam links to handbags and Nike sales.

amirite?

The spam thing is really an administrative issue that lies in the registration process of creating an account on this board. For some reason this board software isn't strong enough to block out the spamming scripts that are creating these bogus accounts.

This is also the only high-traffic forum I've been to where this spam stuff happens frequently.

Ian used to crack the whip on us back in the day...


maybe thats why he aint here no more


plur...

yeah its gettin a little funky around here lol not gonna lie.

I agree with you guys as well.

Z, you've done a fantastic job of cleaning up the place. I know you're following the rules and can't fault you for that.

However TA makes me sad now. These few threads about things we're not happy with are the most interesting discussion that we've had going on here in forever. Anything else that would have been interesting has been moved.

In my opinion the main issues before when we had an inactive mod were the spam, and having 90000 threads about the same event. The new events subforum was neither here nor there to me. I like it, it's much more organized. And I like it even better now that you can put the events on the main page and they move to the top with the most current post like they used to. It's really nice having only one thread per event now.

Other than those issues, I liked things the way they were. To me a message board is a place where I can address multiple people publicly and have them reply to me. Or I can read an reply to something someone else has written and join in a group discussion.

When writing something in a regional forum, I do it because I want to discuss it with those particular people in that forum/area. Otherwise what's the point of having a regional forum at all? I don't think it should be meant just to announce local events. NYTA used to be a community. Now it's just a party planner.

It seems to me that we no longer have the freedom of speech that we once had around here. I miss being able to discuss things other than events with you guys. I don't see anything wrong with being able to discuss sports, dj advice, or any other topic with you guys so long as it's not offensive.

Moving threads seems the same as censorship to me when the people I want to read them never will.

Z, this is not directed towards you. You're doing an awesome job of upholding the rules around here.

Swamper, would you please allow us to have a little more freedom around here?

Has anyone spoken with Dell? Whats his take on this.

I agree that there is way too much censorship here. The thread about our birthdays for example, the three of us as we know are not promoters. We just wanted to let TAs know where we are celebrating our birthday since some of you do not have fb. There was only location info, who was on, there was not info about guestlists or who is promoting it. I preferred to leave that to the promoters of the event that would set an event on the event page. Still, the thread was closed and I was told to make an event thread. I really hope the event promoters will be able to make their thread because they should be able to get the word out on their event.

When CP changed, a lot of people left. You can find a bunch on NCC and a few still on rhythmism. I know I am newer to posting on TA but have read the boards for a while. The NYTAs are probably the most pleasant board community of active EDM people. It would be unfortunate for everyone to leave or post less. Give us our interviews, our sports, our threads we have interest in discussing with NYTAs even though it isn't an NY topic, and just continue to weed out the spam and multiple event threads. We had the changes for months and only now it is becoming excessive. It seems like euphoria should be given more pull. Remember, if you tighten the reins too much, you'll get a negative response.
