| Nedra Fresneda 20.08.2011 | I browse the same way as FEP so it's pretty much the same for me as well. Regarding the "serious" controversy filled topic, sooner or later it ends being a cock fight. I'm all in for keeping this a friendly and relaxed community , not a youtube comment section. Josh is right on the tags matter a lot of people are too lazy to search or believe they will have an answer faster if they open a new thread. Having new ones demand at least 1 tag will do a lot in the long run. Maybe add a "Did you search the community s already?" link in the new thread form as well. |

| Tatum Ansaldo 20.08.2011 | I barely ever use the separate subcommunity s, I use user cp and new posts. If I'm bored and I want more, I use 'today's posts' in quick links. I haven't noticed a difference since the new OT community was created, other than that jester's been making more OT posts than before. I class that as a good thing. |
| Margie Pavell 20.08.2011 | And who really wants to have serious discussions on a dj community
? I was hoping it this would be for fun stuff that didnt crowd the general dj discussion stuff...nope...people want to debate guns and politics... I have learned that people that want to assert their "intelligence" aren't very smart... |
| Margie Pavell 20.08.2011 | I thought it was a good idea...we just have douche bags now pushing the limits... |
| robin loo 20.08.2011 | so am i.. |
| Matt Kane 20.08.2011 | I'm with xtianw |
| Belen Wermes 20.08.2011 | i find taking the piss out of on-topic threads in the general discussion helps. |

Things like politics debates etc.. dude this isnt reddit. at least with things in general there was this grey area that you as moderaters could use to your will to prune things because well, it was general. with things so defined and segregated, now theres a ruleset for a user to hold up and abuse. you guys straight opened yourselves up to being trolled with your own ruleset. its not happened yet, but i promise you, it will. im glad you didnt say "well it makes moderating easier". cause i would have had to have said that was a lazy way to believe. ive moderated, on higher traffic boards and its as easy as reading the community . thats just me chipping the iceberg. tldr: a) general is boring and makes djtt look like a newbies community now b) off topic segregated is TOO off topic. |
