I agree with this for reason B. I mean, I know someone might LOVE a particular band and post up all their favourite songs, but if someone else who's never heard of the band comes in and see's all them, they probably won't bother with any of them. That's the case with me anyway. So although you might love a band and all the songs might be great, pick the BEST one, maybe two, and you'll get more people listening to them!D4RK ONION wrote: »This is more thread feedback really, but could we have a rule that people can only post one video per post in "Soundtrack to your angst" and just in general? That way
a) there might be a bit more discussion on the song
b) someone will actually listen to it. I don't know about ye but when I see 5 songs back to back, I aint going to click any of those
c) some people may be on slow computers and 45 youtube flash videos on the one page is most likely making opening that thread a pain for people.
Just a suggestion for ye to think about.
When someone posts one song vid and a comment about it (and it looks like a genre I'd be interested in...) I'd be far more likely to listen to it than a giant spam of songs. Who's gonna run down through all of them?!
Bob, the greatest thing about the Soundtrack to your Angst thread is you find new bands! And you get to be one of those cool trendy people who don't depend on the music charts to find good music!0 -

Yeah I'd agree with all of this (despite having been guilty of posting more than one video several times in the past
). Someone else also mentioned it (syncosised I think) a while back. I remember those brutal decent-broadbandless days of yesteryear of having to wait painfully for the videos to appear on the screen and wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Maybe as a solution one could just put IYLTYMAL below the video ('If you like that you might also like:') along with links to the desired videos.0 -

That's a really good idea I think. The video gives a taste, and away you go.0 -

Just a very minor point; does anyone else find the posts that go something like "I'm very pleased with how this thread going! Well done guys! Keep it up! Woo." in the more serious threads a little patronising?
I know it's a teen/young adult forum, so a little maturity is needed in some of these threads, but generally we're not toooo bad at being serious where people need to be serious, and I just find it mildly condescending. We're not children, and are generally fairly able to discuss things in a reasonably appropriate manner - I don't think we need to be, like, congratulated on that constantly.
It's kind of a non-issue really, just something that's annoying me a little 0 -

If this is aimed at me, I didn't mean to sound condescending in the Homosexuality thread. I was just saying when I posted the thread, I expected more of the "Its unnatural and wrong" posts like me_no_one's post and was happy when it didn't go that way. I always expected the regulars to take it serious but the lurkers and trollers that pass through the forum, I wasn't so sure about.SarcasticFairy wrote: »Just a very minor point; does anyone else find the posts that go something like "I'm very pleased with how this thread going!

I have just said "Good thread" to Jacobyte in the homosexuality thread before I posted. Why?
Because it's a damn good thread with some great discussion happening in it and I wanted to give jaco the props for starting it. I don't think it's condescending in anyway.0 -

If this is aimed at me,
I dont really want to talk on her behalf, but this wasnt really aimed at you afaik
It comes up a good bit, I'm so pleased with how this is going/or something like that.
As an aside, I am pleased with how the forum is going on a whole, and any sorta grievances I had with particular posters have disappeared (Essentially, I was having a really shíte xmas and was pretty irritable, sorry if I offended anyone
) 0 -

It wasn't aimed at you! It wasn't aimed at anyone. It's not personal, because I don't think anyone intends to be condescending. It's just said in every even vaguely serious thread, and I just feel it's slightly unnecessary, and a teeny bit insulting.D4RK ONION wrote: »I have just said "Good thread" to Jacobyte in the homosexuality thread before I posted.

"Good thread OP" is very different to "Well done. You're somehow managing to post with actual opinions. D'awwwh.". It was a good thread, and acknowledging that is fine (I would personally thank the post, but see no real problem with sticking it in there before getting to your actual point...), it happens in lots of threads across forums. Rarely do you see posts congratulating posters on basically managing to post their opinions without being silly, in other forums, which is where it becomes condescending. I just feel that just because we're younger, generally, doesn't mean there is a need to have any kind of reaction to the fact we're not immature idiots. I think we've established that much in the threads which have been successful this far
But like I said, it's kind of a non-issue. It's not like there'll be a ban put on saying "Well done. Keep it up." (I imagine... Seems a slightly strange thing to ban; but again, maybe that's because it's not an issue in other forums...). It was more just a case of maybe we can cut down on the condescending tone a little (even though it is probably, for the most part, unintentional), if a few people felt the same.0 -

Good point to be honest. Well done, keep it up *high five*.
I did think that when seeing a couple but didn't really consider it worth bringing attention to.0 -
One thing that's started annoying me is people apologising for long posts.
The post might not even be more than a couple of lines and people are going "ohh I'm so sorry for the long post". Why are you sorry? What do you have to be sorry for? Is there an unwritten rule that posts have to be under 5 lines else you get perma-banned? :mad:
....I get annoyed too easily
