Forum "direction"

[stewart38]

And yet I got Neg Rep for going off thread. So let me explaiin the relevance. Forum direction is dictated by it's members and as those members mostly fit certain profiles it stagnates unless different people become involved.

Does that help?

If you clarify what 'certain profiles' means amazed you know everyones 'profile'

Forum has got bigger over the years and there is less anti ceroc feeling

ps it wasnt me that -ve rep

It's not individual profiles Stewart but psycological profiles. People who are prolific members of public forums fall into certain categories. As an example, if someone has posted thousands of posts over a relatively short period of time it tells you a fair bit about them....

Interestingly as regards -rep apparently if you mention that you received them in a post you are likely to get more!

I know the first name of who gave the -rep and actually did specify that in my post referring to it, but it got cut out despite the fact that I showed that my post was on thread. I then received another -rep presumably from the same person, but don't know as it was anonymous this time. So, to that person, please go ahead and do it again because I think you are confusing me with someone who cares about what you think

The point of all this is that you have a forum that is dominated by certain personalaties and that also has the facility to -rep people anonymously you have the conditions that fosters biased opinions - surely that's not a good thing is it?

Anyway, that's my theory - what do other people think?

All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much MUCH thicker in the middle and thin again at the far end (add SFX: throat-clearing)

Oh yes, and Ceroc are Evil Capitalists. But they must be right because Ceroc is the largest MJ organisation in the UK.

So everyone is wrong. Which is what equality is all about.

But if everyone is wrong then so are you, so does that mean everyone is right ? or does it simply mean everyone is not wrong and persons unknown may or may not be right. Personally I think John Plimsole had it right with "I think therefore I...aaaaagrh" and if he hadn't been mauled by that lion, Descartes wouldn't be so famous today.

B****r, I knew there was a flaw in that argument somewhere.

I know I'm right about the brontosauruses though.

I'm sure you can all think of something equally fitting but my suggested label would be Ceroc dancer that way the forum may revert to a Ceroc dance related discussion forum (dance, music, style, technique etc.) instead of its present anything goes form.

I have this little trick I use that might help you.

If there's a thread about something I'm not interested in, I choose to not read it and I especially don't post in it.

If there's a subject I feel strongly about (even dance or music related sometimes ) and I can't find what I need, I start a thread.

Hope that helps.

Sometimes stating the obvious is necessary - well done Gav

[Dreadful Scathe]

Duh - obviously it's our fault for not being inspiring enough.

our ? I really think its mainly you

[David Bailey]

Yeah, fair enough.

I should post more, I guess - thanks for the suggestion

Moderator note.....Moved from the commercial Tag thread...

I already did, a while back and I've download lots of good albums and music tracks as a result of input from the forum DJs and dancers, I was dancing to the superb Alex Gaudino's Destination Calabria tonight thanks to clevedonboy, not at a Ceroc event, I must add.

That kind of sharing of information is what I thought a dance related forum was all about, not the trivia often found on this one.

So, who, in you opinion is to blame, for the forum not having the threads and info you require more of?


And what constructive idea's can you suggest to rectify this situation?

Sorry Rocky you are wrong there... there are no anonymous reps positive or negative to full members of forum you get to see who is sending you all rep.

So dosh out some money to Franck which is such a good "Ceroc" cause and all will be revealed to you....

As for dominating personalities on this forum well I'm sure there are some but don't let them grind you down
