miles36 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 So no more nudies eh? You said there are other forums for this. Ok no big deal, its not really disappointing in the least to go somewhere else for boobies. Umm, but every topic in banter has a potential forum designed for it. So why not take banter completely out of the equation? Is secret santa thread, or the mass genocide of pigs anymore relevent to banter than posting your favorite boobs or butts. I just dont understand how u can designate certain things banter and others not. I know its your gig but it still prejudice against someones favorite boob and whatnot.

Guest Gary C Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yeah, it's his gig and he doesn't want it to turn into a porn/chan site, which is fair enough*. But I'm not really into this music anymore, I'm just here for interesting links and images. I really liked that tits thread. I've got a great photo of some Swiss boobs that I wanted to share with you all. Oh well. *I bet he got a lot of traffic from that tits thread though.

Zephyr_Nova Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 The gravy armpit thread was fast becoming a watmms classic. I did find the closing of that thread rather disheartening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're missing the point of the rule change - it's not about making General Banter more specific, it's about removing content that really doesn't fit with the overall ethos/purpose of this site. There's a big difference in posting content some find objectionable versus varied discussion that can be kept at an acceptable level that more audiences can access it. Just like overt nudity/sexuality is generally not permissible on television, nor should it be on a forum visited by a wide-ranging variety of individuals. Long before there were boobs and butts threads, there were just threads about music, and a few off-topic discussions not about music. I really just want WATMM to go in that direction again rather than becoming about everything BUT music - I in no way want to run one of the many "nothing" sites that cater to a wide swath of what people browse the internet for - this is a website about electronic music and those who make it.

First, I don't subscribe to the idea of "IDM" as a genre. The musicians featured here all make electronic music, hence the "your electronic music resource" in the site's title. Second, the EKT section is just as important to this site as the Featured Artist subforums are - and I am sure there are plenty of artists here who would say their music does not fall into that limiting acronym of a genre. Lastly, this isn't a popularity contest - people come and go here, some lose interest in electronic music, others revive their interest in it, etc. Just because you or what you perceive as a group of fellow members as being the general feeling about electronic music does not make it the driver for the direction this site goes in.

Come on you cunt, look what you've done, release something new for lords sake While I wouldn't blame him directly, I think a notable new release from one of the Featured Artists would lend itself to more music discussion and less drivel posted here in General Banter. That was the whole point of the Music Discussion forum, to allow people who don't want to bother with General Banter to be able to read and discuss music without having to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I want no association with content like that anymore. lol, i don't understand how this pic is a good reason for the final banhammer, whats the story behind it ? Not that it's any of your business, but his warning level due to repeated racist comments had put him near the limit, plus he was given plenty of chances to clean up his act.
