Miguel de Maria -> Proposal (Nov. 12 2006 16:50:07)
|
Well, much to my surprise, it seems quite a few people really are offended by off-topic posts here in the flamenco section. Some of Romerito's "Necroposting" have revealed a lot of grudges and motivations of which I was not aware. Myself, I enjoy the banter and fun conversation, but perhaps it really is a damaging thing. We have lot quite a few valuable posters over the years--who knows if it is because of this sort of thing or maybe because they have just moved on to other interests?
In any case, I want to propose that certain people who tend to throw a lot of jokes and off-topic things into threads, voluntarily tone it down for awhile and see what happens. Maybe a month or so...see if the forum becomes a better place. If not, we can always go back to posting monkey pictures or pictures of our girlfriends or whatever.
The people I am asking to submit to this exercise in restraint are, in no particular order: myself, Florian, koella, dominic, Ron, Deniz, and others who know who they are, of course. Let's just try to keep this area on-topic for awhile and see what happens. I also propose we keep the Off-Topic section busy and full of fun and monkey pictures. The other side of this is that the people who are always complaining about it, should contribute their knowledge and experiences instead of lurking and only posting when something offends them. That only seems fair to me.
I think we owe it to Simon to keep this place worth coming to. Otherwise we might as well all to go back to flamenco-teacher.com.
