Which is all valid.

Thing is, youre never gonna get rid of all the spammy pointless threads. Its just how it works. Every few months, this forum goes haywire with n00bs and everyone complains and then the major posters all threaten to leave yadda yadda yadda.

How about you just deal with it for once? The mods here do the best they can, even with you all not appreciating this. Theres a limit to how much we can step in though, we shouldnt have to babysit you, with each and every post. We'll step in where we can, be happy we do that.

shes right misfits.... hate to admit it or not she is.

THIS IS A MUSIC FORUM.

and the parts of the forum dedicated to MUSIC are DEAD compared to the off topic area. stop it with your comments like "people dont want to talk about only music...

if they want to talk about other things then they can go SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Then it`s down to the moderation not the forum. I like talking about music , but I like to know about the people i`m discussing it with , it makes it more interesting knowing more about other posters.

But the problem is nobody knows what the lounge is supposed to be.Is it supposed to have serious topics or stupid joke threads?

Personally I think the lounge should be scrapped & the games & pointless threads should be shunted off to the Introductions forum , make it something like a meet & greet forum for lighthearted stuff and then what was the lounge should be left for proper serious topics properly modded like the music forums.

That way you use 2 existing non music forums in a more defined way.

Someone just close it, the mods won't do anything gregb sure as hell won't take your suggestion urban. No point in even "complaining" anymore.

If we were to do that, we may aswel go with the subforuming of the lounge, and just have one subforum for forum games and shizz, maybe without a post count so people dont complain about spamming.

Just whatever stops this constant complaining seems like a good idea to me.

THE MODS CAN DO NO MORE. The mods have banning and deleting powers. That is all. We ban, we delete, we do too much however and that gets screwed up too.

But as senior members are opinions don't matter because all we do is complain, so seeing as my post earlier was probaly ignored just close this.

Yes, we completely ignored you just because youre a senior member...

Christ. It gets so frustrating every time this forum goes through one of these moments. It lasts for a few weeks every time, and all the good members threaten to leave because they cant put up with it, and so their way of fighting it is making thread after thread on the subject? Logic = ?

All Im saying is, this happens all the time on this forum. If everyone just grits their teeth to get through the worst of it, the mods will clean up the mess as much as we can, and ban where we see fit. We've tightened the rules up, since the new mods, but theres a limit to what we can do without it infringing on babysitting. The subforuming is probably not gonna happen any time soon. So in the meantime, quit acting like its the end of the world, we'll do what we can. Just dont look in the threads that dont interest you, we'll keep the number as low as we can, and Im sure looking at page 2 of the lounge isnt such a difficult task for now, is it?

one day our complaining will get us somewhere....one day.
