I don't think this is what you're referring to, but it's totally what I thought of:



:laughing:

This joke thread is so serious.

Yeah guys. The drama in this thread could fuel the script of a soap opera. Why is it still open? If i want to see this **** i'll go watch coronation street.

Why not enjoy the entertainment.

I have never taken the internet so serious as to affect my current mood, state of mind:laughing:, especially my personal life in any way shape or form.

At the same time I enjoy the people that I converse with and consider them to be good friends.

I never concern myself with the small things. :)

Yes. The internet should never be this serious, never mid a music forum.

It's only serious when we make a mistake apparently.

See someone actually understands it from a balanced viewpoint, not just jumping on a whim without thinking it through first. I like the way you are saying this, you're not sucking up to anybody you're just being you. I would like you to join us in our mod-cave one day, seriously.

:laughing:

But now that's totally taken on a new and seriously cool meaning! I think I love you for this.

Touche'.

:laughing:

I have been tempted to close it because people like reignite the debate that's been explained over and over because they want bring people down. I'd like to knock a few people here off their horses to be at the same level as everyone else, you know, not making this place so life and death over a few complaining spammers.

Next time someone complains about a post I'll just send them a Why so serious gif.

Such a genius idea, now I wish I had posted that instead! It's been a while since we've had that gif around.

Dem tats R fake.




Only thing missing in here to be frank.

I think this is a very childish post to make. You should be removed as mod and be made to wear only a clear raincoat while you walk the streets of Compton.

Of course if I were posting a spammer's link on her or his behalf, I would expect to get an infraction, Urban.

The question that should be answered first, though, is whether the person had been spamming or not.

In the case where I offered to post someone's link after it was deleted, a member who had been here posting for a year asked for feedback on his first recording of a song. I provided feedback. He revised the song and was going to post the new version.

Then he saw that the link to his first demo had been removed as "advertising." Rebuffed, he didn't continue sharing his next recording. http://www.musicbanter.com/song-writ...ml#post1282273

A year earlier, a mod had asked this member politely in his intro thread (where I first met him) to stick around and get to know people before posting a link to his music. So he did just that. He stuck around for a *year* and got to know some people (perhaps not you or other mods). Then he posted his song, only to have it deleted, even after I'd responded to his music by giving him the feedback he requested, and he had revised his song.

From my perspective, I was in a music discussion with a legitimate member, and a mod stepped in and broke up that discussion by deleting the link to the music in question. My view was that he was an established, contributing member. If such a member has his music deleted, then of course I will offer to post his song again because I *want* long-time, contributing members to feel welcomed to discuss their music here. I felt his waiting one year to do that was long enough and definitely not advertising.

So the question I had after that situation was the following: how do mods decide which members are "established, contributing members?" Since no firm definition exists, it isn't clear, and we (members vs. mods) may come to different conclusions.

I don't think it is, or should be, against the rules to be nice to established, contributing members.

Being nice to members also encourages more of them to stay and *become* long-term, contributing members.

And the award for gif most likely to offend Vegangelica goes to...

Where is she at? I miss her. And her long posts, dare I say it!

I imagine she left cause of this thread.

Nope she didn't leave because of this. I sent her a message last year apologising for being a douchebag to her and she wrote back thanking me and we had a nice catch up. I imagine she's just busy with her husband and children.
