The NWO Post Junkie Thread

[ysl]

Hey Hutter-
Does this mean your leaving?

<br>In all honesty, I could do with less of this inane posting since it clearly rankles a lot of people here. I think a simple litmus test for posting in the NNNW section would be: only post something that you think the entire NWO audience would appreciate, find interesting or amusing. The occasional ridiculous or goofy post or poll is fine, but try to make the entire board your audience, not a select few. I prefer not to see this area being used like some private chatroom. Please switch to email if you are going to carry out a discussion targeted at a few individuals.

Additionally, I'd also like to see less criticism aimed specifically at others. Of course people are going to disagree and some people are flat out going to annoy each other -- just do your best to let the stuff that annoys you slide. I know some people have a tendency to post way-too-personal stuff or fly off the handle here, but these actions always seem to have repercussions.

I'm not trying to make this area of the board "less fun", but just keep in mind who the audience is. Hint: it's not just a couple other individuals. So, are we cool with that?[^]

Mike, I have a great amount of respect for this board and the majority of it's members. Their knowledge of the musical genre we hold dear is incomperable. But again, I don't need, nor do I want to know every last whim, thought or mood of other users. Informed debate, hell even the odd knock 'em down, drag 'em out punchup is welcome, but this insipid "woe is me" posting should be addressed by you...it is your board. These people need a myspace.com blog if they choose to highlight every detail of their personal life, this board is NOT the forum to do that.

I feel I've called a sufficient amount of attention to the few here who use this place as a crutch, instead of a source of musical enrichment. There has to be a line, right? I'm a bit puzzled as to where that line is. You need to set better guidelines moving forward.

You all know I'm pretty "hands off" for the most part -- I've never been much for strict rules spelled out in black and white. I can only give you a fuzzy line at best because I believe in looking at the overall context or intent of a post rather than implementing some kind of strict 3-strikes-and-your-out policy.

I encourage people to police themselves, but it's almost too easy to forget that there's a larger silent audience out there reading this stuff. Personally, I have a larger problem with people being mean-spirited, rude and disruptive than being needy or whiney -- both behaviors detract from the board. I realize that a lot of veterans on this board tend to get away a lot of bad behavior and it may look hypocritical on my part not to take action towards them. You guys know who you are, so I'd appreciate a little less hot-headedness on your part.

Eight6, I agree that a blog is a much better place for personal musings and random thoughts and, thankfully, I see that issue has been at least partially addressed by some of these new NWO member blogs.

Watch what you say. [i]Some[/i] people take the internet waaaay too seriously, forgetting that users, such as us, don't[}:)] They'll protest, cry, and whine about your overall lack of "maturity" and "coolness" (i.e. not getting to have sex on a Friday night with your [i]hott[/i] boyfriends and get accused of trolling for pr0n on the internets because, as we all know, using the intarweb for pr0n is only stuff l0sers do)[}:)]

Well, so far, I've managed to stave off the psychos and serial killers who peddle their warez on that site[}:)] I got around to updating it last month after about a year of inactivity. I thought you peeps over in Europe had this thing called a "bebo".

[toe_jam_on_toast]

bebo? wtf?
