MUSESTL Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Just mentioning it because that, to me, enforced the stereotype that you had to dislike Muse to post in Banter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot if members who post in Banter that still live Muse, myself included. If someone makes a comment as dumb as that, it's best just to ignore.

Sparky_ Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I disagree. I don't consider myself "fangirly" and I found it offensive. I thought it was really quite rude to post that sort of thread on Muse's own forum. How do you think the band would have felt if they'd seen it? How would that make you feel if it were about you? What if, for example a group of people on the forum started a thread against a certain poster saying they should leave and never post anything again- how do you think that would be tolerated by the mods? i'd get over it, it's an online world, with people that you wouldn't ever meet, and if it was that bad, leave the forum.

inn Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 If the board gets too 'pc', it'll be boring. I do worry that the changes are going to tread a fine line from improvement and sort of killing the chaos that is this place. I like the chaos that is what makes it interesting from the trouble caused by twats, heated discussions on serious topics etc etc, maybe hopefully they can manage the chaos. Sadly not all people will get along, it's just not possible because we're all different and I hope you don't just try and nanny people to try and be nice when they clearly have a clash of personalities. Stopping people being a twat is one thing but I don't know... Anyhow good luck with the reforms I'm sure the improvements won't be so bad. Tis a good thing yes.

Niall Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 No we plan on making changes that'll enrich and stimulate the discussions across the board and make the place friendlier on a day to day thing. No changes we can make will stop people posting crazy stuff tbh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemsy Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 wow some real evidence that the band reads the board :LOL; They were talking about the setlist beef. They've made quite a few comments about 'whingers on the messageboard.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niamh Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I don't understand the whole 'Banter is scary' bullshit. If someone feels nervous about going into Banter, I think that really says a lot more about their somewhat fragile state of mind, as opposed to people in Banter. I personally have probably posted about 20 posts in Main Muse over my five years on this board. I started posting in Banter first, as opposed to MM, and I was never 'afraid' of it. Obviously people get ignored. But that's not exclusive to newbies, it happens to nearly everyone. It irritates me when people whine about it like it's a personal insult.

Alright, sticky at the top of Banter saying 'WARNING: you may be ignored or have someone harmlessly take the piss out of you. Enter at your own peril'. Problem solved.

Niall Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Or warning, people say things to you online they wouldn't dare say to your face. One users misunderstand what a mod says in another forum so mistakenly create a thread in Banter. Gets a lot of people acting very negative and not one of them bothers to actually report the thread.

It's because it's (wrongly) seen as standard practise and inevitable, plus the people being negative tend to be quite established and respected... Hope that sentence doesn't cause beef!

This is true, a lot of the most negative people (not just in Banter) seem to be very respected so reporting them might make one a lot enemies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
