Listening to...
 
Back when we first brought in the What Are You Listening To thread in Entertainment, there were rules. Rules that you had to say something about the song, you couldn't just put the name. Rules to stop people spamming post count using that thread. Whatever happened to those rules? Can we have them back?

I agree, most people (like me XD) use it to either
a) increase our post count
or
b)just say what we're listening to because we're to lazy to write something about the song.

or they're forced to say something like (I like this song!111one!oneone!) because the title of the song or the band/artist's name is to short.

There isn't all that much you really can say about the song, other than the fact that you like it. However, I do know for a fact that public warnings have been posted in that thread several times, yet people ignore the staff who warn them. x_X;

Claire April 27th, 2005 3:39 AM

I remember this being mentioned before :3
Ya, i'd be happy with people having to write something about the song, rather than just a title, otherwise it's not of much interest to anyone ^^;

I think it's time for the thread to be closed, to be honest. The way it is now, it is pointless keeping it. Maybe making a new thread in the near future with some proper rules to follow.

Now that I think about it, I agree. Yes, I post in the thread, and there isn't really much else you can say about the song. So it probably should be closed and then brought back once someone comes up with some rules that the staff agrees on.

Well...People could post what they think about the song, lyrics, tune and such...But then again...People are lazy.

You got a good point and I have been noticing that too. Would it be better if Postcount did not count in that thread.

Kyogre-chan April 27th, 2005 4:35 AM

You... can't disable postcount for a single thread, y'know.

Oh sorry. What about move it to funtime or something?. :confused:

Kyogre-chan April 27th, 2005 4:47 AM

No, because Funtime is for games.

Well what about the Funtime Chit Chat? That isn't a game, nor is post your voice. What about those threads, Ty?

Edited by Lightning: Just adding this. ^_^ Please follow it, thanks! Rule: Not only should you post what you're listening to, but post how you feel about the artist/song, why you're listening to it, etc. It's just spam, otherwise. No music bashing.


We went through this already. The rules are there, but it's impossible to make people listen. Believe me. I've tried many, many times. If you can think of a way that we can get people to take us seriously in terms of adding actual content to their posts, please share.

If they won't listen, just close the thread for a while, then later on, make a new one with a new set of rules. If those new rules get broken, close it again. Well, there's my idea, XD

ravenstorture April 27th, 2005 2:32 PM

You are suppose to be a higher staff member. If they don't listen then close it. Simple.

Flaming Torchic April 27th, 2005 2:34 PM

Indeed. I asked people to follow the rules, but I think only one person actually listened. =X Honestly, I don't think we'll be able to make them listen unless the thread is remade, and the rules are reposted.

ravenstorture April 27th, 2005 2:37 PM

Unless I am misunderstanding something, it seems to me like the staff has said the rules, people didn't follow them so you are just going to sit here and say, "We can't make them listen, so oh well, let them break the rules." Is that what you are saying? Because if it is, well...

Nope, not at all. I've just remade the thread, and if people do not follow the rules this time around, then it shall be closed again.

The Fallen April 27th, 2005 2:44 PM

Ok, I just posted in the new thread.I hope it's along the lines although I know it is.I see no need for this arguement to continue any longer...
