There's a lot of trolling, bashing, flaming, etc. Not to mention scam/ad bots. Having a small staff of volunteers could help alleviate all of that. That's what I'd like to see done here if anything.
Yes, lets keep the Rock and Roll musicians under wraps.
Does anyone here smell a NAZI movement goining on?
More moderation is what shut down the fourms on Garage Band and thats a fact. People can say whatever thay want but just keep the F Bomb out for the younger folks. Spam is Spam, so what, its a one button push to delete spam.
Just Say'in
For lack of a better word, everything is good in moderation, including moderation itself. You're extrapolating. I didn't say there needed to be a full-on tightship around here or anything. I simply said there needed to be moderation, because as I see it, there's little to none. Bots, scams, and spam are ignored by the webmasters or whoever runs the forum. If there were moderators whose jobs were JUST to check and make sure none of that was getting posted, then the forums would be much less cluttered and easier to navigate.
I'm a "rock and roll musician" myself, but I know that there is a standard of online etiquette. A lot of people don't, and that's one of the major qualms I have with this community, more likely the only one. No one's asking for the S.S.
Phil brought up a good example of the kinds of issues moderation could easily solve. Further, just having the presence of a staff and a more apparent warning system for breaking basic forum rules would be enough to deter misconduct to a certain degree.
