Musicbanter Improvement Thread (rock, single, albums, members, reviews)

[FaSho]

I agree about the profiles thing come to think about it.

[Comus]

Led Zeppelin rocks.



On Topic: I'd like to have more control over my own journal, and perhaps find a way to further promote such activities within the forum.

[right-track]

You have total control of your journal. You can request any post made to be deleted if you wish.

The only control you don't have is immediate post approval.
Unless that's what your saying?

[Comus]

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

[Zarko]

lol yeah that would be nice but nigh impossible I would think... Then you have to cahnge everyone's permissions etc and I don't believe its possible for individual threads...

One ultimate 'favourites in list form' thread would be okay... Less discussion in them then probably though...

I tried. Crashed and burn, obviously though.

Whats the possibility (in trying to achieve this) of making these folks "sub-mods" for their journal the same way Boo Boo was for the prog forum...or is that a level of security that allows them power universally?

[Zarko]

Yeah I don't think a person can be given permissions over single threads... This is only from experience as admin on another vBulletin forum... Think it can only be power over single forums...

I'm not sure what cliques people are talking about (especially since those complains seem to be coming from people who've been here a total of a few days).

Having a member proof-read and, perhaps, edit for grammar, would take care of the 'guessing-what-they-meant' thing, as well as classing-up the site. Good idea!

i would also like to second (or thrid, whatever number you're up to) the putting of the Intro Stuff at the top of the forums list. It really would be better for newbies.

Also, if what y'all are suggesting is not letting anyone who admits to being here to learn to not post for a certain amount of time, that would be fine, but you'd need to have another member Mentor them.

And i was sort of shocked to see that this had been addressed, what? 4 months before i appeared on the scene? , the instant flaming, insults and down-right attacks by some members. If we, as n00bs, should refrain from posting irrevelant threads, then y'all should certainly show enough restraint to keep yourselves from posting some ugly comment, just for the sake of, well, what? Talk about, "What's the Point?"...

Yeah, yeah.

Just saying.

We are all voluntary and have live's outside of MB and I; for one, can think of better things to do than to proof read posts when most browsers have spell checks etc built in.
