Ive been here awhile, I just recently decided to not hold anything back. Most of the time when you have a setting full of people who seem to get along, the odds are its because the/a few of those that disagree do not speak. I realized that and said screw being quiet. The problem I would see with a mods is...only their opinion will be what is considered useful. It will be much like Wikipedia, where the mods ultimately decide what stays and what goes. Which is why Wikipedia has failed.
For instance, a new guy comes to the forum, new to producing, and someone tells him to get either Logic or Cubase. Why? Why waste so much money on those programs [assuming he is going to pay for them in the first place] When he doesn't even know if he wants to produce really or not? So..What do I do? I suggest FL, why? Because the cheapest FL you can get is 99 bucks, and its enough for someone to use to gauge whether or not they want to produce. What happens when this is said?..it turns into a "fl is better than cubase" flamewar.
Other than that, its the complete overreaction by some people that start problems. Like with Diginut and the Mozart comment, his comment about my post was completely random and out of the blue, totally unrelated what so ever. Yet it caused a debate. I still don't know wtf he was talking about, something about insulting Mozart or another. Regardless, he was out of line and he was mumbling stuff that made no sense. Worse part was people, who seen he made no sense, agreed with him because of this invisible popularity he has. |
A decent mod should:
1. Close threads or move threads not related to the forum
2. Keep threads on topic by warning posters and closing threads that get out of hand
3. Quickly answer and close redundant questions that have been answered
I guess you could put up number 3 for debate, but I think it's pretty easy to guess which thread posters did some homework and which did not. For example, if you ask, "How do I remove vocals?" Then you didn't do your homework. Or, "Which DAW is really sweet?" Or..."I keep turning the knobs on my radio, I can't get FM synthesis to work."
What a decent mod should refrain from doing:
1. Closing topics for any other reason besides the three above
2. Use his or her own personal bias to judge the content of posts and threads as appropriate or inappropriate

Some things aren't worth arguing about, ************ of whether or not you are right or wrong or somewhere in between. |

This is good but I'd also add banning those (and removing the posts of those) that are purposely disruptive or just pollute the forums because they want somewhere else to argue other than 4chan etc.
Some threads get out of hand because some people have nothing better to do than to argue. So many threads with good content get polluted and this is a technical forum of sorts so useful information and the sharing of viewpoints is really key to it's survival.
Slightly offtopic - My example of FL/logic/cubase was simply to point out that all these have strength and weaknesses, so absolutes are possibly the worst way to describe these differences. i.e. protools can do midi but it's not as well implemented as say logic or cubase. Reason has great instruments but is limited. etc, etc.
That's my point - just becuase you don't agree for your skillset or preferences doesn't make it law, especially on a public forum and certainly not for the masses of other people doing it another way.
I actually find incredibly little in life is absolute. Everything in the real world is interdependent on so many variables. IMO, The only thing that is constant is change, and the only things that are absolute are the unknowns. Absolute is really only a bottle in my freezer. :D |

This forum has always needed a moderator. The recent discussions aren't any different from the discussions of the past. Actually this place has cleaned up quite a bit from what it use to be. I see far more threads that are benefecial to users these days than in the past.
That said there is nothing wrong with Psychological discussion, Political Discussion, Business discussion, within a production forum. They are important aspects of making music.
I might be able to be temp MOD, I can't guarantee though, a bit busy. |

I would not call my production name Kismet7, it would be something more ridiculous and crazy, to make coochies wonder. |

| + one on merging the promo and production in one place. People will reply and help other producers and the forum will be far more active. Good idea. |

Terrible. Have you seen the state of the promo forum? Its a mess. I don't want to trawl through other people's spam to get to decent technical topics.
I also disagree on Theran being a mod. He hasn't been here long enough. Nothing personal, but someone who only joined a year ago shouldn't moderate IMO.
Subtle, Mystery, Diginut, Cryophonic, RANN, storyteller etc. would all be good in my book. They've been here lnoger than me and really know their stuff. |

I agree with you, they are. As long as they have music as a red line. IMO analyzing human behaviour of fellow forum members doesn't contribute to a 'Music Production' forum.

That's a bad idea, check out the Anjunabeats' Making Music section. The have merged it to, and people are asking there to seperate it, because it's really a mess..

I agree with you on the short time I've been here, but I think I've proven my worth...
But I also remember, that once you and I had a discussion, and you tried to end it with the argument of me not being long enough on the forum to know anything. So, I'm not trying to offend you, but I think it's your personal issue.
With that said, I don't care who's going to be a mod here, as long as he (or she) will do the job and has some knowledge about musical production. However, I do mind it if Crono is getting mod ;).. |
