2. we should have a monthly countdown of like top10 musicbanter hits for the month. of course, it should be based from modern and current music, mods/members can nominate and vote for songs they like. sum up the result, then we have our top10 for that month. it should be an official musicbanter top10 song for that month though as some troll might create their own thread of top10.

3. we should also have like a member of the month. of course any criteria can be used, he can be the member of the month cause he's contributed so much, technically in the forum, or just being beautiful, mods can select whatever criteria they choose but member of the month means that member gets to have a specific thread created just for him. in all his glory.

4. we should have an official monthly musicbanter featured artist. mods can agree among themselves which artist they want to be 'officially' be the musicbanter featured artist for that month and post recent music contributions and happenings of that artist. note, we don't want old artists who did not contribute anymore or have no songs anymore in the current year. we need an artist that is current and modern 2011.

5. not sure if you're familiar with this but it would be fun if we can apply reps 'reputation' functionality in this forum. members can give green reps for a post that's totally awesome and red reps for posts that are stupid and that rep will show on a member's status if he had too much green or too much red. this will enable the member to reflect if he's already being hated or loved by other members. it boosts morale and confidence and brings back the senses of those trolls getting too much red.

i could name so much more but i'll leave it to 5.
please feel free to use my ideas, i haven't copyrighted them yet. so there.

Copyrighted?

A lot of these ideas are very good. Some of them probably won't work unless the owner decides to start caring.

Well I don't think anyone would argue I'm just as much a bitch as I was before I was modded. Remember we are trying to sort out how this place is going to be moderated thanks to feedback and our own ideas.

Urban ya prick. You should see how us Kiwi's fight, stab you with a razor is what.

Scottish people like to stab ****s with what we call knifes

No, this is wrong. Simply by writing anything (as long as he didn't steal it himself) The Virgin has copyright to whatever he writes and posts. He posted it on a public forum so anybody can quote it and then they have copyright of their own post (including the quote as part of the writing as long as it clearly cites someone else's writing).

What you can't do legally is take The Virgin's post and claim it as your own writing like some asshole did with one of my threads right here.

I think you're thinking of patent law which says that you can invent an object or system and make it public and retain your ownership right to it by having the words "patent pending" included in every iteration of what you made.

What the ****, someone stole one of your album reviews?

Engine · 06-21-2011, 11:29 PM

They stole my OP - I can't even navigate the site enough to see if they used any of my reviews. They probably just wanted to increase their SEO whoever they are.

This idea has been suggested, but placed on a backburner. It would require the administration (read: not moderation) of the site to configure the forum in a manner so that it is skinnable. We do not even know if the forum we are on is capable of supporting such a function. Our relationship with the administration is a feeble one, and as such, even small requests are procrastinated or denied.

Ultimately, I like the idea of skinning the site, but I see it as a long-shot request.

Interesting in theory, though I see it difficult to accomplish in practice.

Another interesting suggestion, but I envision it becoming troublesome. I neither approve nor reject this idea.

We do have weekly featured genres, which I think better suits the community, as it's less restrictive and better suits the broad range of tastes that our users possess.

I would hate to see something so frivolous used to bully or inflate other users. I think it would produce unnecessary drama.

I think we should do MB roasts, that'd be a time.
