YES!!! I am bringing it up again. Set a limit prior to submitting Mixes.

[diceallion]

Ok, seriously, today alone were up to 13 (which probably isn't even a record breaker) mix submissions, outta the 13 only 2 have more then 5 posts. I wanna see submissions from contributing members... I don't wanna hunt through hundreds of them to give the proper respect to the ones that deserve it!!!

IM GOING ON DJF STRIKE!!!

We have limits on the classifieds, limit the mix submissions. It's a legitimate request!!!

[DJ Boom Bap]

+1 for real

[Baller95]

I'm gonna miss you man.

[mr_ragz]

Only if we can get that for track submissions too :tup:

I voted yes

[contra]

I gave a yes vote! If the user has that little of posts, it almost constitutes as spam from a non-contributing forum member.

[Dix]

I dont even go to mix submissions (etc) sections but I know this is a problem, so I voted yes. I agree that there should be a 60 post count (just like the classifieds) before you're allowed to post a mix... of any kind... in any section.

The only catch is tho, I dont wanna hear any whinning when cousin Jim Bob OR Sally, your steady lay, comes on here & someone wants to make an exception.... cause "his got good stuff" OR "well he was here before when it was DJF1" Or "well he posts good helpful stuff".
I say make a rule for that as well.

So yall make up your mind if you want the minimum post count to be 5 posts, 10 posts, 20 posts, 50 posts, 75 posts or 100 posts etc..

[diceallion]

Dixieland, thank you.

Yes I completely agree with the argument you raised. A rule is a rule, no exceptions should be made regardless of the situation. I understand that there are members from the previous version of DJF, where the post count did not carry over, but if they were active members, I'm sure it wont be long before they accumulate the required count.

I'm not aiming for 100 posts here, but at least a decent count where the member has actually taken the time to meet and greet. If the classifieds are set to 60, then I think 50 would be appropriate to submit a MIX or TRACK...

Not only that, think about how much better it will be for the forum as well, I honestly have no idea how the "bandwidth" or "space taken" works, but it will reduce the amount of DATA dramatically.

I would definitely like some of the senior members chime in please. I've said what I had to say, I would like to see a change.

[Baller95]

I think the classified should be dropped to 50 and mix/track submissions be at 25.

[mr_ragz]

You wont



So yall make up your mind if you want the minimum post count to be 5 posts, 10 posts, 20 posts, 50 posts, 75 posts or 100 posts etc..

I say 100

[diceallion]

We'll listen, I would like to see at least a crap load of voters in on this poll 1st, then I can make a new poll with post counts... This way we all don't argue on how many it should be and the highest vote wins... Clean simple argument free.

Basically, so long as a submission is not on 1st post....

[Sigma]

I think the minimum post count should be set at 5,350.

[diceallion]

I think the minimum post count should be set at 5,350.

:lol:

[Baller95]

I say 100

Dude, judging but your post count and date of registration it probably took you about a year to get to 100 posts. I know you've been on DJF 1.0 but that doesn't count. I think 100 posts to submit a mix is unfair and I think at that point we'll start losing members.

[Sigma]

20 would do it. You just want to stop people rolling up here to dump their mixes. People would be able to spot if someone is just making random, shitty posts to hit the target if it was 20. 100 is too restrictive IMO, but realistically, there's no reason why someone can't make 20 posts in a short period of time.

[DYM]

I vote yes

[Irrational_Fear]

Another 'yes' here too.

I reckon 20 would be fine too. As has been mentioned 100 is rather restrictive. I can't see there being a problem with people spamming posts to hit the limit either- a lot of the first-post-mixes don't even end up in the right section which suggests to me the amount of time people are willing to put into posting up these mixes is pretty minimal...

[diceallion]

20 sounds logical. If I was a drive by poster, 20 would discourage me... If I cared to talk and make friends, I could hit 20 in a few days.

[diceallion]

Any other people wanna vote on this? No comment required!!!

Yes
Or
No

[mr_ragz]

Well, thats mainly because I go through DJF spurts where I will be on regularly and then take extended vacations :twhack:






edit: please see my sig :tup:

[Baller95]

20 is perfect.

[Adzm00]

Yes, Sigma's is a bit harsh though, I'd say 3,000.... just enough to keep you out Baller ;)

[Baller95]

Fuck it. 30,000? :lol:

Well at least 20 would discourage a lot of the 'hey I just met you, and this is crazy, this is my first post, rate my mix maybe' crowd.

[Baller95]

[Skasja]

+1 and adding another argument in favor: when commenting on a mix, I find it useful to have a general idea about the OP from earlier posts and use that impression to "frame" my reviews...

[JackStalk]

3000 is a fair number

[dan_b]

I reckon there's a lot of people with 20+ posts on here, every single one of them a mix/track submission.

20s a good number to limit at.

Not gonna lie, I first joined with the aim of just submitting and giving the odd bit of feedback until I realised how this place is full of amazing people who would never bash on anyone about things like their taste in music or where the industry is going.....

20 woulda definitely deterred me so I reckon that'd work.

[diceallion]

Alright then, moderators, if you have been convinced with the feedback, and are ready to make the change lets close this thread and make a change.

[Dix]

I cant be 100% sure but, as far as I know, Mods cant make this decision or changes. Only ones I know that can do this is Stripe or -J.

I just agreed to it... I didnt say I could make the decision/changes. :lol: :P

[diceallion]

So where are these 2 individuals?

[Baller95]

So where are these 2 individuals?

I personally requested both of them a very slight modification of my username months ago but I've still not received any response.

[Dix]

I personally requested both of them a very slight modification of my username months ago but I've still not received any response.

I'll try to answer your concern.

Again, I cant be 100% sure but, I don't think a screen name can be altered... at all. The only option you have is to create a new account... & I am sure that's not an option for you.

[Marc S]

Admin can change usernames,

I've spoken to -J personally about this change, he's gonna look into it, there was a specific reason why they didnt do it originally, i forget what it was now but it seemed fair at the time.

[Baller95]

Thanks, let me know what they say.

[diceallion]

Okay and let's try to get the original topic fixed for once and for all

[Adzm00]

And you ;)

:lol:

Not that I often post mixes.

No one wants to hear my shit techno :(

[Baller95]

No one wants to hear my shit techno :(

We're all waiting :eek3dance:

[contra]

I like shit techno.

[Badger]

I'm chiming in late... but I voted "Yes," and I would set the bar at fifty posts.

Twenty is okay, but you'll still have jokers who decide to drop twenty fast and crappy responses in the first hour or so just so they can start posting mixes. Fifty is a more sufficient hurdle, and yet far from impossible after a day or two of contributing to the forums.

Either of those is better than nothing.

Thanks!

:badger:

[diceallion]

Respect... Thank u Badger,


ok so we going to make the change or what???

[Baller95]

Sit tight guys, don't be expecting a response from the admins any time soon.

[NathanDJ]

Definitely agree. Maybe something like 20-30 posts is more reasonable though.

[diceallion]

Sent a email to admin.... We shall see, I could get very annoying.

[Dix]

Sent a email to admin.... We shall see, I could get very annoying.

.... and I dont think thats going to help your case . This topic has been discussed here for quite some time. I am not sure why admin hasnt addressed it publicly, but I am sure there is a reason. Again, its been addressed before. Be patient & wait for an answer. Becoming annoying isnt going to get you the rule added. You (as many have) have addressed your concerns here. If admin wants to add this rule, they will. If not, it aint gonna get done.

[Manu]

Agreed and voted accordingly.

Too many 1 post noobissimal mixes, "listen to my very first mix that I made on my very first controller ever bought 2 days ago (2 days ago being either christmas or birthday) and figured out how to record 4 hours ago" . Then you get a link, no description, no tracklist, no genre, horrid music and last but not least no skills.


Then it has been previously discussed many times and nothing has been done. I know that somehow I shouldn't moan because this is a free for all forum, but like all places, you need to take the trash out. 60 posts and a month, how difficult is it to implement.

[Baller95]

20 is a good number. If someone's going to make 20 spam posts it won't be missed and they will get warned/banned. Limiting it to any more than 40 is unreasonable.

[Adzm00]

I think, in seriousness, it should be a MINIMUM of 50. Anyone can spam a couple of posts in each forum and get to 20.

[diceallion]

I'm on a mission to get this changed!!!

[mr_ragz]

I sent a Pm to an admin too.

Remember folks, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. :tup:

It's been changed from last week, and was about an hour after I posted that I'd spoke to -J, the permissions are the same as classified, that's how it will remain.

100 rep, 30 days, or 60 posts. Whichever occurs first

[diceallion]

No way!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!! Thank you everybody.... Thank you Marc. When we all come together we can make a difference.

[diceallion]

Thank you ADMIN!

[KLH]

I voted no just because - well - I have no reason really.

[Sigma]

If I give someone rep they get more than 100 points, so if any n00bs want to jump the queue I'm now selling rep for $5 a go.

[Badger]

How many new submissions do you see from members without 30 days -or- 60 posts -or- 100 rep points?

[diceallion]

New ones... None

[Manu]

Well the noobs are now posting in the wrong places.

[diceallion]

It will happen, it was expected, but I think it will be much less then it was before.

[Sigma]

As expected, n00bs are dumping their 1st post mix threads in other sections now. The mods need to step up and sort this shit out. I reported a thread about 12 hours ago and it's still there in the production section.

Also, it would be sensible to have a pinned thread in Mix Subs saying what the limit is and why it's there.

[Manu]

It was to be expected obviously, but I wouldn't start pressuring the mods as I won't moan that far about a free for all forum. You're guaranteed to have the noob spam thread popping up now and then.

[Sigma]

This site has 22 mods. Most of them are virtually never here.

What's the point of reporting threads when the mods don't bother doing anything? I see 2 or 3 blue names in the active user list pretty much constantly.

[Dix]

I am here as much as I possibly can be. I am usually here several hrs a day... every day. The problem is, I only moderate about 4 or 5 forums... as do most mods. We have a few Super Mods that are allowed to moderate all forums.

My forum sections are: mobile, beginners, general, off topic & classifieds.

As for the subject of this thread, which are the mix submission type forums... I do not have mod powers in those forums. Again, most of those 22 mods only moderate a few select forums. We are usually assigned general or specific forums depending on our related subject matter.... things where we are most experienced in. Some are given Super Mod powers because of their extended experiences in many aspects of the DJ industry as well as other things like programming etc where they can "assist" & give knowledge with the site programming etc. However, they still cant make changes in programming... only give input to the admins, assist in programming ideas etc.

So, in short, while we may have 22 mods, not everyone of us can assist with problems in every forum section. Would I be interested in being a super mod to help in all forums with general issues such as spam, cross posting, people posting mixes without 60 posts, posting in the wrong section etc, etc? Yes, but I assume we have enough super mods here who participate enough to satisfy the admins. I know KLH, Andrew & Marc are here quite a bit. I think both of those are Supers & both do an excellent job, both out front & behind the scenes that most of you regular members never see or know about.... as do some of the other mods & supers.

I hope this helps some of you better understand how it works.

[Baller95]

Make me a mod :D

[diceallion]

That's what I'm talking about

[Sigma]

I know how it works, Dixie, but the point is, they need to give the right powers to the right people.

Damon Chambers hasn't been on here for 18 months. What's the point of him being a super mod and not you, when you're here regularly? Sol hasn't been on here for 2 years. Rox-Star has 41 posts. JGeffen has 112. No offence, but what knowledge are these folks sharing? They don't even make 1 post a week. Compare that to KLH who has over 4,000 posts and who I regularly see helping folks, but he's not a super mod either, so he's in the same boat as you.

[Boomcie]

I say make Marc and Andrew admins, give KLH and Dixie supermod, and send me my freaking vip top hat and monocle from 1.0 :mad:

[Baller95]

Its not my intent to conflict either of you but just to inform. Actually, KLH is a Super Mod. If you go to "quick links" at the top of some pages & choose "site leaders" from that drop down window, then scroll almost all the way down (second to last section) you will see the section for Super Mods. You will see that KLH is in that list, is a super mod & certainly deserves that spot as much as anyone.

Here is the link to the Site Leaders: http://www.djforums.com/forums/showgroups.php

Hope this helps :)

[Baller95]

Dixie is a helpful guy and is here a lot as well. He deserves to be a super mod at the very least!

[Adzm00]

I should blatantly be a MOD.

yeah there definitely needs to be a couple rules added on how to keep moderator status, or at least enforce the rules already there (not sure how the moderator selection or deletion process works). it specifically states that moderating power is given to people who are helpful in the categories they moderate. posting nothing for a long time isn't particularly helpful.

[ksound]

think you can make it so users can't post any external links to the forum till they reach some predetermined criteria

[Baller95]

How about make it rep based?

20+ rep

We need to get some MODs that are on the ball. Basically shit mixes are being spammed across forums now, and these arseholes need banning.

:facepalm: I just saw all the crap in the other threads... It was bound to happen... Proper solution, active mods.

I would like to fill out an application to be a mod.

All you have to do, Dice, is answer this simple multi-choice question: -

Q. If a user's mixer is having issues with the sound quality, causing an unwanted static-like popping, what could the problem be?

A. Their crossfader curve is set too sharp, causing unwanted popping.
B. The popping is introduced after the audio leaves the mixer.
C. They have the wrong type of carpet.

[Era 7]

+1 on new mods. the majority still seem to be same guys as back on 1.0, but many don't even seem to be dropping by here anymore.

It's already been said many times; if you see a dodgy thread, REPORT IT! As I type this there are 35,769 individual threads on the forum. We can't possibly check every single one. But if it gets reported, it gets flagged up to all the mods so we can do something about it.

[Adzm00]

I'll report it, but if it takes days to get taken down I'll also then bitch about it, ok? ;)

[Baller95]

I doubt it'll take days to get rid of spam especially after a report. They do a pretty good job keep spam out actually. :tup:

that still leaves us with mods that haven't been around here in years though. i'd reckon it would take some load of the mods that are actually active, if we named some new ones :shrug:

[Marc S]

I'll report it, but if it takes days to get taken down I'll also then bitch about it, ok? ;)

a lot of reported posts get left because we dont always agree with why its reported, people report "wrong forum" when some times its fine, or "trolling" when the person reporting is the reason for it.

[Adzm00]

I did a "wrong forum" report earlier, I didn't think that would get taken seriously though.

I still think I should have MOD powers, what could go wrong ;)

[ben mills]

I vote Windows95 or DJMiguel for mod.

[Marc S]

lol..

[mr_ragz]

SOOOOOO.....seems like we are getting fewer spam bots but its still going through a bit. ie - can't post a mix in mix submissions, but its a trance mix so I'll just post it in trance stuff going on but overall way better.

cant stop people posting them in other areas, its inevitably going to happen if the subs is closed to them,

neg rep

What I meant was if you have something real constructive to say, sometimes the right people that would rep you is all you need to reach the quota. It kinda sucks a little, but it is what it is.
