Which brings up the mod problem.

^^no i think we can all agree that removing the lounge would be a disaster.

Aha.
Well Muzak
I have brough up exactly what you said beofore (minus the part about "there should be no lounge" ) and I was told

"The people who post here can talk about whatever they want. It is their choice whether or not to post in the music forums"

I disagree with this somewhat
Sure, there is a lounge.
Post in it. Dont live in it.
After all, this is a music forum

The mods are doing a fine job, we have enough mods.
Members need to start taking responsiblity.
The mods aren't here to babysit you.

Meh it is just my opinion but I see what you guys mean. I just think that somthing needs to be done to get people to actually talk about music.

I agree but do you think that's actually going to happen?

If it doesn't it should or members should start getting talked to if their out of line. I think alot of people here (including myself) get this attitude that their to good to be banned which is bullshit. They need to be kept in check.

It`s just the nature of the forums

You get make a music forum it`s bound to be full of teenage kids who just like a few bands going there & just trying to whore for popularity.

You can either accomodate it , or you can get rid of it.

If you want to have serious discussion in anything you can`t do it in a forum where all those kids hang out.Which is where my suggestion come in. Let them do that in the lounge & make it unmoderated & have a proper off topic forum somewhere else away from all that.

Sounds good, doubt it's going to happen though! :D

You could get some mod to make a web based chat room on the site.
