Jeff Ream Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 What? Has that been an issue? Pictures of porn on DCP? there were a few pix in the old Bored Forum that, well, were removed for being just a tad too revealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Having managed numerous online communities over the years, I agree with this statement in a big way. I'm very hopeful the new DCP owners wiill put some serious thought into two things:1) A comprehensive moderator training program to encourage a lot more consistency/professionalism from the DCP moderator community. 2) A navigational structure that encourages a better balance between iron-grip moderator control and the enjoyment of the participants. It's not an easy task. But done right, will foster a much more inviting, welcoming environment that will help take DCP to the next level. See you in the forums, - Greg flag on the play. you said consistency....that means I may have to get fired up with the few pet peeves i have with admins.

Toby Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Again, correct 100%...and the fact that moderators and their "pals" get to call a spade a spade and have power in who and what gets reprimanded and the fact they adhere to the "pick & choose" concept. ~G~ Hah! Mods listen to me! That's a laugh! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexL Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) something id suggest would be slightly different guidelines for the offtopic and ontopic forums, with the offtopic being a bit more loose. admins should only need to jump in when someone is OBVIOUSLY flamebaiting, or a flame war is going on. oh, and the offtopic forums are most certainly necessary. many of us may not necessarily want to talk drum corps, but want to talk with other people who share the similar 'drum corps perspective' about general things in life. were it not for the offtopic forums.. i might never have marched. The 2 people that pulled me most to marching both were people i first met in the bored forum. overall i agree, many times over-moderation has dulled the place down. to be fair, i think other things can contribute to this too. out of the control of DCP, more and more corps do not allow current members to post either in the general or in all of DCP (including my own, so i only post offtopic until i age out).. this removes a lot of the potential membership and 'new blood' that dcp could be gaining.

BigLou Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Well, they successfully created the most boring newsgroup I have ever seen ... the forum version of a beige old age rest home.Even the official DCA discussion thread makes me want to fake my own death to avoid reading it. Even the stuff I wrote. lol. edited because I can't spell beige. Lee if you need a spell checker for the forums install this program Click here for spell checker I have been using it for a few months and works pretty good.

BigLou Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 This got moved out of the OT forum? LOL x 1,000. How is that philosophically even possible? After 11 pages of replies, did it suddenly get on-topic? Heh. I guess someone got personally uncomfortable with it. Oh well. Back to beige. Rah-rah! And your exportations were???!!???
