Moved thread?

[papa zero]

While I believe that an admin can do as they please with their forum... I'm curious as to why the sudden change in policy on posting a few pics from a party to useless blabber being a "party review" where one can't see the pics anyway...?

I've posted at least 17 pic threads from old parties most of which are old enough that they arent in the DDM database anymore... while I think admins and mods can do what they want on their own board - it takes a "special" breed to be so inconsistant and avoid explaning any reason as to why...

you are posting reviews and pics from your parties. those belong in the Party Review forum. it doesn't take a fucking genius to figure that out. if there are others that made it in UB, then that means we didn't see them to move them. if you think it's cute to start bumping your old ones, then you can just chill out.

My first response to your move both acknowledged and affirmed your power to move my thread while also politely asking you why you would make the choice to be inconsistant in application of your own rules. While 70 of the 120 forums I'm subscribed to don't define pictures from an event as a review it is the individual forum to make such a determination. You might consider changing your technical definition of a picture in your rules to be consistant with your application of your rules.

While I admit that I was being "cute" by responding to your lack of explanation with bumping old posts - I do acknowledge that you have now answered the question: you did not move any of the number of previous posts that I made because you "didn't see them to move them." I apologize for being "cute" but simply felt compelled to do so since i have posted pics in "Useless Blabber" for years (and dallasraves before that) without incident and seeing no response as to why.

As a performer one of my goals is name recognition and given the fanbase we've developed over the years in Dallas - I try to make it a point to let my friends in the region know what is going on with us. Since your main concern has less to do with performing or promoting yourself and more to do with the difficult chore of moderating this forum I can understand your regard for upholding it's rules (which is the root of what I asked you to do). For my part, I have no problem playing your game - I just like to know that you're not making it up as you go along.

Since we have a contrasting view, I would be open to discussing the difference of opinion as to whether a picture constitutes a review - but i don't think that proclaiming that you're right and any "fucking genius" can see that really constitutes an arguement. As a mod to this forum I'm sure you have to tolerate all kinds of silly things and I have sympathy for you - but my hope is that you can continue what you need to do without devolving into this kind of a dialogue. I realize it's easier said than done but you have my support in that endeavor...

whatever. you set the tone with the your posts and the "special breed" comment. As for my promotion and my gigs, i do quite well. Travel the world, having fun.

you also quickly deducted from your bumping of the threads that UB gets pruned. wouldn't it make more sense for all your fans to be able to access your party pics and threads in an area that doesn't get pruned.

being the big rave star that you are, one would think you would be capable understanding the basics of simple organization and categorization. i know those have more than 3-syllables, so stick with me...

If you have a problem with the midi on the Nord Lead 2, would you hit up the Link Up Section? I'd have to say that would fit nicely in the Music section. again, we're dealing with basics here. not too hard. so... hmmm.. where would some pics of a rave party i was a part of belong? hmmm... my money would say the Party Review section.

as for this diatribe trying to be even "cuter" and half-assed apology. 'cmon dude. be a grown up and not some baby about posting in the wrong forum. is it the end of the world for you??? get over it. as for the cuteness... i can curtail that pretty easy too.

let's take it a step further... anything more than, "i fucked up by raving in the wrong forum, my bad!" is just being cute and very annoying.

My special breed comment was in reference to whomsoever it was that moved my thread without responding to my simple question as to why the change in policy. This comment was made in response to the of moving my question to the rules section without actually answering the question. I thought this to be passive aggressive. Enforcing rules is important and required as i attempted to say in my previous post - but changing course midstream without explanation made me take pause and simply ask why.

I make no claim to know anything about you as a person or a performer other than what you posted in this thread. I have no interest in indicting your claims or belittling what you've worked for. I wish you well on your travels.

Though I am not entirely certain of the point you're trying to make by using the phrase "being the big rave star that you are..." I make no claim to be a rave star. I can only assume you imagined that my reference to promoting on many forums was somehow an assertion of my popularity. The actual point I was making was that most forums do not preclude that a picture from a party is a party review - and those that do have clearly defined rules that say so. The only claim that I made at best is that I am a performer and work to promote in the interest of self-actualization and shared experience. Claims i've made on this site at worst are that I am an unemployed "artist" that sits around the house all day with cancer.

As to why i posted there? I always have. Equating your premise of posting a technical question in a meet and greet forum is straw-man logic since my post can be construed as "useless blabber" as it has always served as a potperi for this website. I happen to know that other mods have seen my previous posts and let them remain unmoved without a thought on this site. You are correct that useless blabber gets pruned and that the majority of the picture posts I've made there no longer exist as time has gone on. Given the fact that a picture quite obviously does not constitute a review of an event the post could have just as easily have moved to General Discussion where there is party related discussion...

None of this matters, because I never asked you to move it back - I simply asked why DDM changed the policy - to which you responded: you didn't see my previous posts and that you would have moved them if you did. I accept your explanation.

While I can't apologize for posting in the wrong forum since there is no demonstrative rule on this site pertaining to what I did... I still believe that this site is yours to do as you please as I have already mentioned as I said in the onset of this post.
