but that's what it is. you seem to be suggesting some sort of nyta craigslist, replete with a hodgepodge of non-musical activities, were the uninformed can receive ministrations from a beneficent mod.
maybe there can be an nyta rant & raves (moderated by highmay) or an nyta casual encounters (moderated by vlad)... |
the difference the community here has and those listed above is we've created real life identities here, some of us hang out on the regular others don't, it's a medium of communication. Why not add some characteristics to it at the expense of what? a stickied thread? I'm not saying list your cell phone number and address, i'm not saying advertise erotic services here, I'm saying lets associate some of the real life attributes that almost all of us could at some point or another use. That goes with saying with such an available resource, you do have the choice to participate in the thread OR act as a point of reference.
Our points of reference are so "the norm", it's boring NYTA. I'm advocating for a robust region of knowledge where people will ultimately flock to. I'm not trying to establish a listing service like craigslist. We all to some extent or another have some sort of common bond here, lets thrive on that bond and add real life characteristics to it. Most other resources on the net leave that unfamiliar territory, here you know who you are dealing with, you know these people have suggested the reference, it's better than the anonymity of the an unfamiliar site.
I just think that the more skeptical people are, the more HANDS UP i don't want to participate this is not my thing mentality the less comforting this place will be, the less beneficial this place will be. Hell maybe some of you hate the members of this board but for some reason or another you return, you create an identity, you become someone by posting your review yet at the same time all of you won't support an effort to make this home fruitful with resourceful information.
It's clear now a MOD isn't about policing. Peoples intentions are about bringing this community of knowledge together and making it easier for our people of these boards to benefit from stuff that doesn't currently exist to everyones knowledge.
I'm in publishing you work for a major corporation, I need a job and am interested in your company. You could tell me more but I wouldn't know who works where. Same goes for those who are interested in my career. Those needing career advice, how do you know who to ask and who not to ask?
It's quite simple. The age bracket in which most members of these boards (especially evolving around music/clubs) is 18-30. Through this we've seen kids flourish through their adolescence and those who are significantly older do nothing to guide the younger ones. Ok some say who the hell cares about others, would that mentality normally fit in a community? Would you say that to your land lord if he ask you for rent? I'm not asking people to devote their time and effort all day every day, but if we all contributed just alittle to these boards we could potentially create a better community outside of just musical knowledge. This is something I see a mod would do. And if they don't do it, would you hold them accountable for it?
There is hardly a community effort here, with the exceptions of Tom and Dani (visitor's guide and party planner) both threads with exceptional amounts of information that is most beneficial to members of these boards. Stick to that, use that as a base of community. I've been saying this since day one, everyone has this ideology that a Mod is strictly here to police it's users. I think thats the wrong way to look at it, a mod should facilitate and represent their section. Now with that said, I'm not trying to raise the bar on other mods on other sections, they run their sections the way they want to. Some less effort than others which is fine, but me personally, i think we (nyta + surrounding areas) have alot more to offer to our local members, djs, producers, graphic artist, teachers, college kids, professionals...then just a club forum - if thats what you want there is always clubplanet =)
