First: People who complain about this have way too much time on their hands. Ive always said that if you dont like it, dont click on it. Obviously political threads for example arent for everyone and ive noticed that there are those who participate and those who dont. |
Sorry, this doesn't apply to this situation. It's not as simple as that. We're talking more about the reason why posts the things they do about parties in general. This applies to every event thread, every review thread, and every roll call.

I think most TOTAs have already figured out who is affiliated with what so its not hard to take a grain of salt with some comments.

I don't think that's true at all. Maybe most of the TOTAs who use this board frequently know who is affiliated with who, but when taking into account all of TOTA's user base, I think that it is safe to say that most TOTAs don't know who is affiliated with who. That is why people post in this biased fashion. If this keeps up, TOTA is going to loose it's legitimacy as a place to find out about good parties in Toronto. It's going to start being seen as a big advertisement.

It's easy to skim over things you don't like, but I have to say it's so annoying to be reading an event review looking for an actual review of the night and get 10% event review, 90% "omg it was so great dancing with u!" |
This is a message board, not a website for party reviews. Message boards are a place where people of common interest communicate and socialize. Who made you the person who decides what should go in a party review thread and what doesn't? Who's to say that a review of a party shouldn't involve a more personal aspect?
Besides Sarah, most of the party review threads that this happens in are parties you wouldn't even go to anyway, regardless of what is said in the review thread (ie Guv all access parties)!

Promoters nor talent or 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. |
Great idea! |

so why cant you read EVERYTHING with a grain of salt? TV is one big advertisement disguised as entertainment. Why cant we treat the message board in the same suspect?
Why must everyone be babied because they cant think for themselves? yes its true that there are some shananigans that go on but people should be smart enough to realize that and think accordingly. Places a million restrictions will just drive away a lot of people who are afraid to post in the wrong spot in fear of being ostrasized by the unofficial thread police that already seem to gleefully do their job.
Im pointing to all of u who have ever used "inb4dalock" with that comment.....
seriously... everyone needs to lighten up, get some commone sense, and ignore those who they think are on the board to do nothing but promote something. If people didnt respond to their posts, theyd leave pretty quickly.
And god forbid that somehow through this awful "advertising" you actually end up at a good party, hearing a good mix or buying a great album.. Oh the horror!
Im willing to bet youve already been a victim of that and not even known it |

This is very true; as I have been on TA for a number of years now, and I still do not know the relationships.
Some of them are completly obvious, but most are not. |

- 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.
|
I used to believe that those were strict rules on this board but I realized that many times the lines are blurred so much between promoter/talent/patron that it's impossible to tell. Now a days, I don't think that people should be restricted from posting a roll call but they should definitely be restricted from bumping it like mad.
I would say, let anyone post a roll call but if there is no interest, no point in bumping it 50 million times. |

To many if's but's and maybe's going on in here.
Simple.
The with roll calls. No need if every just uses the event forum. Eliminates said 'bumping' problem. If someone is interested in updating the names in that thread, they can easily keep it updated by posting the current list once a day.
Photo threads. Post it in the review threads. Period. Or guess whats bound to happen? Every photographer in the city is going to find out about TA's loose rules when it comes to party photos, and people will simply register to show off their work.
