Your Thoughts Needed on Threads/Drama
I would love to see pre sale threads gone. It makes no sense to me to allow pre-sales, but not bid before you own the pin in auctions. seems like a double standard to me, and it would decrease some of the drama, not only here, but in lines as well(IMO).
well said Goofy-Moe I agree pre-sales should go drama is not needed at all
I dislike seeing all the drama but I would also not like to be over moderated. For example I love threads about DSF and the releases, the pins coming out and so on. We are adults and behave as such and if we do then threads like that should be permitted. However if threads are made specifically to attack people or incite drama then maybe the mods need to get involved?
Why get rid of pre-sales? For example, in the For Sale forum there are rules that say you can't post on someone's thread about "That price is too high, or it's x amount on eBay. Just apply that rule to pre-sales threads and problem solved. Give infractions, hell it's not like they aren't handed out on a daily basis for more mundane things.
That is most of the drama right there, the " I don't like your price" or "You're a Shark".
I see a need to know as a community what new releases are coming out and those are still necessary... perhaps only once a month when the flyer is released, but the threads with the titles... "What time will you be..." and "Live at..." are more the ones I see a concern with...
Thankyou, you made much more sense than I did.Threads don't start drama, people start drama"
I'm all about the banning of pre-sales, it brings unnecessary hype and panic causing people to try and beat the pre sellers anywhere and thus the creation of camp outs. The other threads such as "live from... Wherever" or "upcoming wherever pins" I believe are necessary. One to know what is coming out, and two people like me who go to SoCal ever so often and want to catch a DSF release, without an insider telling us what is going on we would be in the blind, most of you guys that live near know each other and have great communication. The rest of us don't, so we rely on the updates. I think the problem is caused when people post pre-sale prices that are outrageous and then the drama unfolds. My suggestion is ban pre-sales and anything mentioning ebay prices.
Correct me if I am wrong but an emerging theme seems to be how we deal with conflict and things we do not like? Maybe if we communicated better and did not partake in drama a lot of the problems would be solved. Then those that are not behaving appropriately should be given infractions and things.
I'm just tired of seeing pics of ice-cream and such on drama threads.! I'd much rather see fried chicken and actual meals! Gosh the things we deal with! ;p
I do believe the moderators have a tough job to monitor all threads, but I have seen further involvement when personal attacks and names get brought into threads... The problem is more what happens when these people come face to face and the comments made behind a keyboard are remembered... The tensions at recent releases stem from comments both on this site and on other sites like Facebook...
