Hi all,
Since jay went ahead and made a thread to address your concerns, I felt I could jump in and explain somethings.
My name is Chuck and I'll be acting as a representative of the owners of this site..much as jay is. As jay has mentioned, this is a multiple forum-wide evaluation of both the effectiveness of the "volunteer" moderator system as well as the ability of the forum to attract new and potentially profit-increasing members. After "lurking" for some time and allowing jay to become acclimated with the site, it has become painfully obvious that changes need to be made.
Things I have noticed:
1) Lagging membership
2) Rampant bypassing of the curse word filters
3) Ineffective attempts at reducing spam
4) Blatant disregard for our nudity policies
While this is in no way finger pointing at the current mods (they are volunteers, after all), we feel we needed to have a direct line to the powers-that-be. That's why jay, myself, and several others will be joining to the site to monitor the above mentioned situations.
Don't fret, however, I love talking about music and I'm sure you will all come to like me! I may be "old" by your standards, but I still listen to all the good stuff playing on the radio these days.
I welcome any thoughts/questions. If I am not around I'm sure jay can help as well.
Chuck
