So will this benefit the community or will it hinder the free expression of ideas? And don't give me the bullshit answer of "I can't release details yet", although seeing as how you have next to no frame of reference about this forum I can't see you giving an informed answer.

this will benefit the community based on experience of other communities. and calm down with tone.

Jayshreddz, this is a very tight-knit community, and it is relatively unique in comparison to that of other online communities. So please... do not do anything to ruin what he already have established here.

That is all I (as well as the other members of the forum, I'm sure) ask.

Hi Jay!

Hi all,

Since jay went ahead and made a thread to address your concerns, I felt I could jump in and explain somethings.

My name is Chuck and I'll be acting as a representative of the owners of this site..much as jay is. As jay has mentioned, this is a multiple forum-wide evaluation of both the effectiveness of the "volunteer" moderator system as well as the ability of the forum to attract new and potentially profit-increasing members. After "lurking" for some time and allowing jay to become acclimated with the site, it has become painfully obvious that changes need to be made.

Things I have noticed:

1) Lagging membership
2) Rampant bypassing of the curse word filters
3) Ineffective attempts at reducing spam
4) Blatant disregard for our nudity policies

While this is in no way finger pointing at the current mods (they are volunteers, after all), we feel we needed to have a direct line to the powers-that-be. That's why jay, myself, and several others will be joining to the site to monitor the above mentioned situations.

Don't fret, however, I love talking about music and I'm sure you will all come to like me! I may be "old" by your standards, but I still listen to all the good stuff playing on the radio these days.

I welcome any thoughts/questions. If I am not around I'm sure jay can help as well.

Chuck

that is not our intentions. there may be some distaste about some of our decisions, but we are sure about what we are putting into play. we have had enough time to see the results of such things in the past, so we are confident it will work for everyone's benefit.

What do you mean by lagging membership, and why is the filtering of profanity a primary concern?
