We should choose our battles wisely.

I think you should just trust me to make the right decisions when applicable. Appreciate the nice words.

I'll he sure to point it out when Frown breaks the rules again. That way you actually see it instead of claiming ignorance.

Kiiii, in the same way Batlord doesn't know sh*t about your life, you don't know sh*t about what happens in the mod cave when one of us f*cks up.

^ It's not easy to find, but there is a list, recently updated by Exo:- https://www.musicbanter.com/showgroups.php

^ I think the number of mods we have now is fine. I have more trust in a consensus opinion coming from a small group than a pronouncement handed out by one or two Mighty Mods.

At the moment we have warnings and short-term bans before the nuclear option of a permanent ban, but I wonder if mods have ever considered a warning that is coupled with a demand for an apology? Has a mod ever said, "Apologise publicly for your post / erase your post or face a ban"? Maybe that would give another grade of response before the banhammer gets taken out of its glass case in the mod cave.

Mod Cave = Big Gay

**Frownland** · 10-22-2018, 09:39 PM

Oh my god it's the gayest. Thank god Google doesn't moderate it. I mean I have plenty of people to text but I'm just not the same if I can't post my dick pics online.

OP, just start a journal and post your musical musings there. Limit your engagement with the inmates here.

Or come over to r/LetsTalkMusic and be among civilized people.

Let me flush away this 14-year old account and start a new one on a website that I don't use, with a bunch of people that I don't know. I'll get right on that.

Also I got nothing on the whole improvement thing. Place is pretty great to me. Only thing I personally would like is more users to interact with, but that's not really a problem nor is it something "improvable". On the flipside, speaking as a new member, I'm pretty alright with how free-flowing and inconsistent it is here. I've been on music forums before and they've been ****ty because mods have iron poles up their starfishes. But I can call Frown a ****stick and not expect a warning PM or something, and I think that's pretty nice. Feels like I'm actually making friends and not stilted acquaintances.

Also @Ki for the "barely active" bit- this place is more thriving than most other forums of it's caliber. I used to frequent a forum that had an active base of 4-5 members. It got old real ****in' quick.

and I'll just add that those 4-5 active members were all admins.
