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? |
Well said!
