Time for a promoter sticky?

tman

It's getting to the stage where almost half of the threads on this board have been started by promoters who rarely, if ever, post outside of their self promoting threads...
it's beginning to get on my tits tbh. I reckons they should all be merged and shoved into a sticky

Hi, firstly i must hold my hand up and say im guilty of this, just comming on here to promote thing, its a very good point you made, there is always a flipside to every argument though, and i feel that mabey the members on here should mabey look at why you are not atracting many normal joe so's who just wana talk about there interest in dance music alone an not just to promote things. Could it be that there is a sort of group on here that just stick to there own and when a new person gets involved they are not paid too much interest, for example i flicked back through some threads and saw a post from some english guy "zade" is it? who asked you to take a listen to his mix, i dont think many people comented to much about the actuall mix but gave out **** about the site he had his mix on and about the pictures he had accompanying his mix, so if people get that kind of feedback I suppose they wouldnt be too interested in talking about music on here etc, So I think the members could have a look at the negative critisism thats on here and also a possibel clique that has developed.

Like you need some people comming on and keeping people up to date on diferent gigs that are happening, and also dj’s who want to promote themselves, okay I took a bit of a liberty at one stage with my first post saying check out this cracking irish dj and I got some rightly deserved negative feedback, but also a lot of the critisism that is given on here is a load of bull and if yee want people to feel comfortable about talking about there interest in music mabey yee should look at that……

Wholeheartidly agree tman. Have pointed this out many times before. maybe even a sub forum for promoters? But it does totally clutter the main page of this forum with all the threads started by various promoters. Many of which get very low numbers of views.

BACKLASH

Hi,
Yeah, we'd always like to get feedback on this?
We always keep all our posts in the one thread & do posts once & week at most, usually with charts, downloadable mixes & competitions which
we hope are of interst to people aside from the night we run.

We also do use this forum regulary as users & do understand that
sometimes it is annoying when a good site is clogged by unwanted
posts but we feel our night is relevent to this section,

Anyway if a seperate page is the way to go by all means, we'd personally
prefer to keep it as is but with better self policing, maybe promoters entitled to 3 posts a month?

Thanks

Backlash.

I agree as a regular contributor to this forum sometimes it gets somewhat annoying to see people only coming on to advertise their nights instead of posting on other topics on here so id recomend whoever is the admin of this forum request that promoter people have their own sticky,that way everybody is happy

tman

i actually like the sound of BACKLASH's post.
it made me change my stance on this matter anyway.

nobody would look in it if this was the case

at least you can have a look at individual threads about nights you MIGHT be interested in the way it is at the moment instead of having to wade through shedloads of nights

there is a gigs and events board as well, i only put my threads in here because i post in here anyway... even then its like once a fortnight only really... unless i'm on the radio in which case its more of an "omg they were silly enough to let me on the airwaves come listen to me" attention whore kind of way...

backlash's idea sounds good.... and the BEST way to eliminate a load of cluttery threads would be to start interesting new ones, that way the advert threads would swiftly drop down to the bottom of the screen...

would be great if there was some sort of calander feature thingy that we could use on this forum, telling us about whats coming up in the next week or so!

tman: agree totally, too many promotion threads, getting a bit sick of it meself!
