Give me more power!




No seriously I agree with much of what a lot of people are saying in this thread, but in all honesty there's really nothing you can do to stop it outside of banning the people who just come on to spam, but then 10 minutes later someone will be doing it again.

i guess so

on a side note tho, the newer threads in the muisc discussion forum, have actually had constructive replies. maybe there's still hope..

i have more CORe posts than regular posts...actually right now its probably 50-50 ish...does that mean i should be banned? i don't think so. what it means is that the rest of the board has gone to hell and i'm not as interested in posting my thoughts on music as often because i just have to deal with all the crap in return. i still post in MD though...quite regularly...

I do.

Seriously though, Hadi brings up a decent point about a forum for New Unreleased Tracks Discussion, but shouldn't that type of thread be kept to the Music Discussion forum?

yay!



well i asked swamper once to bring more mods, he said strongly No..

Thing is about moderators, i see Arturo on each section as mod, but i hardly see the dude... not that i dislike you Arti . But an example, There should be active mods on each section and it should be people that have experience with the subject of the section.

This is assuming that everybody with bigger COR post count are just spamming about posting nothing but complete nonsense. While this is true in some cases, it certainly doesn't apply to everyone.


yeah but how hard is it to create a new account if you make a return, or is keeping your post count that important to you. seriously if it is, you shouldn't be here. In fact, that's another suggestion.. plz let everyone have 'custom status' straight away so we dont have multiple uslees posts in the good forums. There's far too many younge rmembers who really care what it says under their user name.

You could say that about any of the existing rules. Rules always get broken. Make it a rule, then if there are enough mods who can move or delete the offending threads.

Ok, maybe not. BUT, there are far too many re-occuring threads these days, it's just annoying- i guess we'll have to live with it.

couldn't agree more

I can't help but think alot of the mods pussy out on closing and deleting stuff (unlike neo) because they are afraid about their reputation (see neo's fame with alot of people). if thre were seperate mod accounts made with no identity attached, that could help?.. i don't know, it's a suggestion.

So Many threads like

x dj playing on yyy radio
markus schulz this
(insert dj name) sucks now
armin that
Ozgur Can this
Probspot that
new radio station that will just play the same old sets and sounds as all the others
prog house rocks now trance sucks
download my mix which is full of tunes I've made my own edits of
my aunties pet goat is playing in 10 days on (insert radio here) and I wanted to make sure you're tired of me talking about it before you get there.
listen to my tune and help me get signed
just use discogs
trance is dead
trance is back
trance is dead again
omfggggggggggggg im going to talk about a song that's not even out yet cos I got it on mp3


just to name some.


It seems to me that TA which used to be an amazing board for having a large number of very knowledgeable and appreciative music fans has just become a place to argue or publicise someone and their projects, and I think it's a shame, as now you ask about a tune and you get old to use discogs, which yes is a great resource, but in the past we'd have been able to talk about the particular track and have lots of opinions respected where now there's just so many trolls.

So am I the only one who sees this happening or Am I being paranoid ?


No it's not happening at all. You are paranoid, but check out my new cd on my website www.mynewcd.com.

Quit your whining and post something new we can talk about instead of your bitching. For instance, why we ought to move the UN to Paris, France.
