No biggie! |
Exactly. It adds the soul and heart to TA.
its the only reason I really got really attached w/ TA in the first place.
this personal touch i find devoid on most other forums. |

Sure, but people can add their 'personal touch" as part of their event review.
Event reviews on this board eventually spiral into pages and pages of mindless banter without an actual review being posted.
I can only think of a few event reviews on tribe that have gotten anywhere near as long as the average party review on TA. |
its like that in almost every review as well. u come home from the event and there'll be 3-4 pages where there are some reviews. then u wake up 6-7 hours later or w/e, and theres 14+ pages of mostly msn style chat back and forth.
i also want to point out that there was an idea mentioned awhlie ago (by highroller i think) about putting all the pics/vids in the first post of the review thread. i think that this was a really good idea. too bad there are people that start the review thread and never update it. |

10, 20 pages of MSN chat between only the people who went to the party is the definition of community on this board? |

I agree.
Photo threads are completely useless. You can just stick'em in the review thread or the event thread.
We don't need 4 photo thraeds every week from every single night in the city ffs |

great idea! Then we wont know what we can talk about and where!
Better idea, lets compartmentalize everything in our heads when reading the thread titles into "threads i want to click on" and "threads i do not want to click on"
Problem solved! |

My interpretation of Jon's concern:
- Jon is not saying roll call threads and event threads are unreasonable promotion. Jon supports proper use of roll calls and event threads.
- Jon is saying that sometimes people are using TOTA to self-promote (either themselves or their events) more than what should be considered reasonable.
- The "unreasonable" self-promotion is often routine, repeated and casual reference to one's musical/event endeavors in entirely unrelated threads.
- We have all seen some (intentional and/or unintentional) self-promotion in threads that really shouldn't have it. After a while this type of activity is bound to cause annoyance. This annoyance is what Jon is bringing to the forefront with this thread.
My $0.02:
- Promoters/talent should NOT start roll call threads for events. Promoters and talent should stick to the event threads. If TOTAs are interested in enough to start a roll call thread (un-encouraged by promoters/talent) then great - the event has support and it deserves a roll call.
- Promoters/talent and TOTAs should NOT bump roll call threads (per Margaret's post). TOTA attendees should post in it once, move along - keep event discussion in the event thread. Bumping roll calls creates a false sense of support.
- Promoters/talent need to be overly-conscious of their posts in non-music related threads. When a discussion about a non-music topic has event/promoter/talent "hints", "name drops" or "references" about inserted into it - it really sets the bar low (desperation?) and isn't respectful to TOTA as a whole (nor does it project a positive impression on the event/promoter/talent).
- TOTA has a vast amount of talent and it is worthwhile to support talent and events that deliver a QUALITY experience. Promoters and talent have the responsibility to make sure that they ALWAYS deliver a high-quality product as the the alternative alienates the key base of support TOTA offers. Sometimes it appears that TOTA supports for the sake of supporting without emphasis on quality. Without focusing on quality - the end product is bound to deteriorate - which nobody on TOTA wants to see. |
