Musicbanter Improvement Thread (albums, Kurt Cobain, member, reviews, quote)

I'd like to see members take on a journal Here.
And see them write passionately about the music they like.

Well i was going to PM someone at some point, but i'll just use this as permission?

One thing i've noticed (and this is strictly an opinion from a person in Britain) is that there tends to be barely no mods on during the day and they're all on in the evening, which results in lots of spam during the day which has is only cleaned up later on.
It's only a minor gripe, i'm not sure if anyone will agree with me?

I agree with you. Normally Seltzer is around in the morning , and then there's a gap between me , RT & Jackhammer coming on around 6ish.
The only solution I can see to this is get a mod from somewhere like India . Pakistan or Siberia.

Any suggestions?

I think I might have to agree with the clique thing. I don't know, the first post I made (I think) was about Kurt Cobain's ashes being stolen and I was attacked instantly by 2 people. I thought it was off topic how that person just commented on how about I must have been thinking about it for awhile. Spam if you ask me but I don't know I am just a noob.
EDIT : Having questions like "Who is your favorite MB member?" in those six pack question thing doesn't help with the clique thing. Just saying.

If you think that was being attacked I think you may be in for a shock. Nonsubmissivewife was just ribbing you & you seem to have take it personally.

She's one of the nicest people here and has never flamed anyone who whole time she's been here. If you think she's being nasty I think it may be in your best interest to get a thicker skin , or not take things to heart so much.

If MB paid me to be a mod, I would quite happily jack in my job and mod during the day!

In all seriousness as Urban stated, the three English mods have day jobs and generally cannot get on during the day. It is frustrating all round, as it would be nice to be on the site at night and not sift through a lot of spam!

Well let's pray, eh?
I only really realised that my point was a bit pointless afterwards. I urge all the UK mods to get promotions so they can slack off all day and post here. Cheers!

Well sign me up for a journal then, I'm good for an long-winded post a week.

Other wise...

The elitism is a big issue for me too. I can’t imagine what it’s like for new people to show up here and have to deal with a consolidated set of ideologies. We can’t change that though.

Short of bringing back old man Adidasss, I think we ought to start enforcing some higher standards. The grammar threads and the nazi’s that start them are cute but I don’t know, a certain number of characters to qualify for a thread to be created?

The problem there of course is that rare is the ten word OP that remains open. It’s the “yeah I really like this song” posts that drag a thread to an early grave.

Start a thread when you're ready Big3 and I'll approve it.

Any more takers for a journal?...
