All:

See what can happen when you don't stifle dissent?  

Anyway, since Max has approved my idea, this is how I would like to see this work.

Anyone who wants to start a thread that is non-musical in nature should, as usual, post it under "discussions not related to music."  If that thread is likely to create any type of "internal controversy" - and I need all of you to be honest here - send me a private message and let me know you are starting it.  I will then attach the "warning" such that it will appear at the top of each page of the thread.

Any thread will be permitted - religious, political, cultural, etc. - and any posts to those threads will remain completely "uncensored," except to the degree that the site itself is "self-governing" vis-a-vis profanity, or in the event that Max and I - jointly and strongly - truly feel that something is "beyond the pale."  I do not expect this to occur, but we must reserve that right.

All threads that may contain potentially inflammatory posts will be "at the risk" of those participating.  So, for the record (at least for now, here), let me state that if a member chooses to participate in a "dangerous" thread, Max and I will not accept any claims of a member having been "dissed" in any way: participation in all such threads will be at one's own peril... 

That said, we do expect all members to be courteous of each other in all other threads - again, not to the point of "daintiness" (Heaven forbid!), but to the degree that all members keep in mind that we come from a global community, and thus have different sensitivities.

The admin group continues to value and respect your opinions, comments, suggestions, etc., and we sincerely appreciate your contributions and participation.

I will keep this thread open for about 48 hours after this post, after which time it will be closed to further posts.  If you have any further questions, comments or suggestions after that, feel free to send me a private message.

Peace.

Happy happy joy joy!

Calloo callay! -- oh frabjous day!

Nice one, maani

OK GO FOR IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All:

Here is what I suggested to Max.

First, we already have an entire section called "discussions not related to music," which has threads about movies and other non-music topics.  I don't see why all other non-musical threads - including religion, politics, etc. - cannot be put there.

That said, what I would suggest is that Max and I put a "warning" at the opening of each potentially inflammatory thread, letting members know that they basically "enter at their own risk."  Like "important announcements" (which appear at the top of each thread), this "warning" would appear at the top of each page of such threads.

If we did this, I would hope that all members would then be at least a little more "sensitive" to each other in the "regular" threads - though, again, without feeling "stifled."

Max and I would, of course, continue to reserve the right to edit any language, post or thread that we deemed inappropriate, though we would continue to be extremely cautious in doing so.

Believe it or not, I think that covers everything suggested in this thread.  Let me know if I've missed anything.

I await Max's comments.

Peace.

 Sounds good, Max! I'm not really wary of certain topics, so much as their potential to provoke anger and insults. These latter two are my main concern. As a writer who real name and various "particulars" appear here, I want to feel safe from unchecked harassment or threats. I have been personally ridiculed by a new (teenage) member in the past, albeit on a different forum (he had come here via a metal forum), where he had vowed to "kill" us all.

I just want to know that the management will continue to expel such hotheads and potential psychos, or obviously, as a family man, I couldn't stay.

THAT, and not some prudish fear of sex, swearing, or heated debate, is my real concern. I also wouldn't want to attract new members who care little for the music, but merely want to attack others' political/religious views in a nasty or personal manner.

That's all.
