FYI, when the events feature was introduced in here it was agreed that a mix of having events listed (alongside other topics) was the way to go since most discussion was event focused anyways.
This can always be changed but imo I think it works as is and you can always 'hide' the events. |

No issue with a promoter coming in and putting a cluster of event threads. It's going to happen. But it will disperse once more discussion occurs.
It's the spamming by the ********* people that's irritating. |

The threads I don't like are the people that clearly registered just to post it, and it's an obvious copy/paste that they are spamming all over
"hey check out my rad new EDM scene website that totally isnt a piece of ! ok see ya!"
There have been A LOT in the past couple months. I mean, really, it doesnt matter in our day to day lives, but it is kinda annoyin' and I think it should be dealt with w/ a ban or something. The more you let people get away with it the more they may do it (trying to avoid a slippery slope here but you get the point)
e: i dont mind the event spams, at least those are useful

| I post for my weekly event, so hopefully I am not annoying anyone too bad. The owners at the venue I work for put forth very little effort towards advertising, luckily it's still working out fine. I do see a lot of random posts though - and what drives me crazy is the sites that have "bulletin boards" and a promoter posts their bulletin about every 8 minutes for six straight days, totally ruining the entire board. I feel your frustration... |

Your weekly posts are fine. They are talking about threads like this:
http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...7&forumid=60&s=
And various spam PMs like the following that was sent to me a few times:
"I was looking through the forums and I noticed that you attend events in LA, thats legit!
I have a startup that is going to be coming out soon that is going to be a directory of user submitted events for Los Angeles (and other cities later) and I would love if you could be a part of it.
When the site launches, if you have events of your own, you could definitely add them.
Let me know what you think, and feel free to sign up if your interested in Beta Testing." |

By the what? :stongue:
Guys, I don't have time to read every event thread here. If you see something like that Armin thread PM me and I'll take care of it. However, we're probably not going to stop what you guys call "spam" accounts from posting their events here just because they don't contribute anything else to the forum. In addition to music discussion, the local forum is place for promoters (any promoter) to advertise their event. Let's be honest, if I had my way half the crap that gets promoted here would be deleted...but alas :p
Suckas. |

PLEASE let me or one of the mods know if people are spamming you via PM.
I just suspended the user + deleted over 300+ private messages that were sent out by the person who sent the msg above. People really have no shame these days... |
