Well that should be fine for the biscuit making-owned football team you follow.
Hey, they aren't too popular in these parts right now.
But we are going to pass the hat round for Sheffield United next Saturday.

I do have a grudge against dragon AND I do dispise the new rep thread, but I still agree 100% with Davidk. They were annoying fucks that posted way too fucking much. But what really sucked for me, was to see all the people I liked become so enamored with the idiots. It was worse than the new rep thread club. I certainly had more than my say about them, but never did I put it as nicely as davidk did. And what's this about ed? Was he the creator of these clowns? Figures, they were lame and couldn't pwn anybody. Just irritate like a fucking nut rash.

That's what I'll never be able to figure out. It's just plain bizarre, and really disappointing.

Haha, Muttley's team is owned by a guy who made his billions in making biscuits. My team, on the other hand, is owned by a guy who made his billions in NFL, and I sure as heck don't want to eat some jacked-up linebacker for tea tonight.

Are you saying that I don't have to record at 192k on pro tools!? That's a load...
Okay but seriously...
Would it be a good idea if we could create a diplomatic way of banning somebody?
Say the person posts something we consider "wrong" by our bbs standards, we can "report" the post. Then someone with moderation clout can deem the post "wrong". After that, the person can accumulate say 5 of these "wrong" posts before theyre banned.
I'm not saying this is the greatest idea but maybe I can get the ball rolling on something. I understand that maybe this may cause a frenzy on the moderators behalf so new ideas are good ideas. Maybe we can solve the banning situation diplomatically. If there are a certain amount of people with some sort of "rep" that think a particular offender does not contribute to the forum, then maybe they should be banned.
Again, not great ideas. I don't want a popularity contest. I think DavidK is just looking for some order.
And I agree the person writing that nonsense should be banned .. because this can be some heavy stuff, homerecording and all. But I do agree if you can't ban em, ignore em.

There are too many people who post their opinions on recording matters who are simply wrong over and over and over. So if you only want good and correct answers you can only allow a handful of people to post, such as Harvey and msh in the mic forum, Light and Muttley in the Guitar forum, and Ethan and a couple of other about acoustic treatment. The analog forum seems to take care of itself, maybe because the subject matter is so esoteric, I don't know.

This is just silly.
Opinions aren't wrong, and people who earnestly post answers in error are corrected and undeserving of a ban; it defeats the purpose of a forum.
If you can identify people who are posting inaccurate inaccurate information for the purpose of misleading others, please do so. Your oblique comparison to AKEX is inapt.

Yeah, that was my point, that a lot of crap gets posted so banning people for being wrong ain't gonna work.

You can't ban people for being wrong ... that's completely innocent. But maybe you can ban people for talking unproductive jibberish insults. At least the wrong people are making an attempt to be productive.

The irony is that it's a lot easier to spot and disregard the advice of someone who posts jibberish insults than someone who gives bad advice couched in the right syntax.

I've never had a problem with anybody's post about recording techniques or products when it was based on their own experience. If my own experience was different, that's fine.
What I do have a problem with is when someone passes on second-hand info about techniques or products... it's just something that they've read.
If one is talking about the science of electronics there is "correct" and "incorrect" re what terms mean... current, resistance, voltage, etc. And with product design and specs, there's "correct" and "incorrect" re info on things like mic diaphragm size, sensitivity, self-noise, etc. All those things are easily Googled. But with many things in music or recording there's no right or wrong. Like, "does a preamp affect a mic's sound?" or, "is Ozone 3 any good?". There's just what has worked for you and what hasn't, and comparing personal experiences about that. Those are the most interesting discussions.
I've also noticed that sometimes people who are brilliant at getting a great sound in their productions are not necessarily aggressive or lecture-y in how they talk about it. A quick listen to a person's work tells a lot.

Oh, and I agree with David that jibberish comments have no place outside the Cave.

Don't stare at the eye.
That whole post was great, but I want to emphasize this part. I know I'm going off topic here, but this is the main reason we need sigs back. People use sigs to link to their music, and I want to hear their music--not just their advice.
There are some folks here (some well respected old-timers I might add) who can puke a textbook on command. And you know what? I have no idea if they're really puking a textbook, or if they've done any of this crap.
(And now I'm treading on an old wound): There's a lot to be said for put up or shut up. Not that everyone has to sound like pro's--it's fine that there are folks on all parts of the learning curve. But when folks hold out as "teachers" I wanna hear for myself if they know what they're talking about.

I don't think it's off-topic. The way I see it, this thread is really about forum behavior, not just a particular troll. Hearing someone's music, or seeing evidence of their expertise in other ways (manufacturing, etc.) helps in understanding the validity of their comments... and in that, their forum behavior, so there you go, heh.

Welcome back. But didn't you learn the first time (third time?, heh) that a direct frontal assault is usually ineffective? "Discipline yourself and triumph in war." - Alexander the Great. Actually I just made that up. But it sounds good.

I don't think Southside's opinions are gospel, he and I had a healthy disagreement last week. But I do think he makes a valid contribution to the board and can bring a unique perspective. He makes a living out of this stuff, so he must be doing something right and if he's willing to share that with us home recording types, that's great.
imho.
Peace.

Dunno. I've never seen where someone who makes a living in music has no recording credits or tracks posted anywhere. It's typical that people are proud of their work and want you to hear it.
