this thread is stickied - it's permanently bumped.

I think 'acknowledging' is the word I meant

I've been on this forum since April 2007, so not a long time member. I visit here often and have received plenty of help, and, I myself have helped one or two people, not once have I had a nasty reply to any of my posts or questions. So I guess its swings and roundabouts innit? (this is now where I get a barrage of abuse to make up for it!

)

I no it can get a little heated and abusive on the forum but my point is that it's not everyone that gets abuse and nasty reply's so this forums not that unfriendly

You could learn a lot here at one point. Not anymore. Too much crap to sift through...

you can still learn plenty.

relax, ignore trolls, don't open non-music threads if you can't handle them, carry on.

This is the most popular thread in the history of the internet.

If we add up everyones .2c, we get $3.85

It is also now, the richest thread in the western hemisphere.

ahem.... how do you get $3.85 from multiples of $0.02? It would have to be an even number!

Edit: I make it $6.78!!

Your posts were only worth 1c.

Fucking CHRIST man. Stop feeling left out that you're not American. Think of all the other reasons you have to feel inadequate.

Being a Brit isn't close to the first of your troubles.

Funny little shit.

what is racist? where does an offense start? when is a comment off topic? etc... A healthy community is by far better in handling those questions then we could ever be.
We only remove spam, and we sometimes write PMs to people.

The fact that we are discussing this here is actually already an achievement. Sometimes people get a bit lost behind their screens, and a gentle reminder is a better tool to get things back to a more moderate level then anything else.

Robert,

I really think you're kind of deluded, to be honest. I post on several other boards, some related to electronic music, and some not, and this is the only unmoderated one I post on with any frequency. And this board definitely has the worst signal to noise ratio of sheer stupidity.

Good mods know the difference between racism and not racism (frankly, it shouldn't ever come up, as it's not relevant to what we're SUPPOSED to be discussing here). They also know the difference between on and off topic. And I'll trust a few good mods over the cowboy bullshit that is the unmoderated internet any day.

I do not believe that this community is healthy. I believe it's juvenile and foolish, and I think a little bit of moderation would go a LONG way to improving everyone's experience here. If anything, in the last several months of watching this forum, I've seen it do nothing but get worse and worse and worse.
