Lame Threads

So what??

Do you have any bright suggestions? Or do you want some actions to be taken against all those bad people starting stupid threads? Or is it just a pure observation? In the later case - this is brilliant observation, and you are damn right, but I am not sure what we gonna do with it. It's pretty useless, I think.

Hi Ian,

Nice to see you around after a small sabbatical

Yes things have not changed that much and most of the threads are rather tedious in the level of discussions

three main categories :

- X Vs Y , please choose

- My X tastes (I am better than you) are better than your Y tastes (you stink)

- Please confirm that my tastes are the best by checking if my list is perfect or not

other faves:

-X sucks

-I need recommendations (why is the database and reviews if you still need recommendations)

- meaning of Supper's Ready or the Lamb or Tales

As soon as there is a thread that is about to go further in details of a band's works, much too few participants

So yes, working for upping the level of the forum is an everyday job, and I wish I had more ideas: I create threads once in a while but they never amount to what I wish they would.

It is always surprising tosee how some threads that seem to me anyway,  very low level can last up to ten pages, while when a good thread where it requires a bit of reflection and searching struggles to three pages.

Another thing of course ios the repetition of threads, one gets bored of writing over and over the same things, so he lets it go and gets depressed

I suggest that a quality control board is set up by the collaborators. Then every proposed thread would need to have the authorisation of 3 collaborators. Or we could rate the threads and if the rating of a thread goes below a threshold it dies.

I know many threads are a bit lame but I can't think of any better myself so I don't complain about it.

Or an administrator simply closes the thread.

I do too, and I think a lot of people. Whatever the time when you join, after a while it does get repetitive. I'm almost a year on the site now, and at first I replied on a lot of threads, after a while I only pick out the ones that relally stand out, and I get the impression that I'm not the only one who acts like that.
