Reply to: guys n gals... calm down

To all CUK posters: having been a long-time member on many forums, I can confidently state CUK's moderation is 10X less strict than any other professional forum I have ever been on. If you think moderators requiring you to you to have basic respect for other members and the site rules is an affront to your human rights, then bad luck. I'm sure you'll be welcome on Guido's site, or perhaps a PS3 forum frequented by children calling each other gay.

My own take is that due to many of the regs having met one another it is very cliquey in here - you all reply to each other's posts and pretty much ignore everything else that's said.

Seems to be thw way online fora go once a few of them have met in real life.

Sorry.

Very true, it has become a clique of those who have made CUK their social life.

Some of us prefer to keep the real life banter to PMs

But I do see your point.

Aye Bigyin, it's true. I guess it means we have to work that bit harder


see you behind the bike sheds at playtime, for a fag

Must...go...to....bed....

Just when I have a melody doing the rounds....arrrgh.....I always seem to work better on music at night....

[Cliphead]

I know. You are awesome!

Thank you, I knew you'd see the light

[Cliphead]

Clippy just reminded me....I must get back to my Cubase session with a new VSTi, called Nexus by reFX which is awesome.

So many Vsti's, never enough money, which is a real killer for a home muso like me who earns peanuts.

At least Cubase Essentials 5 comes in Educational Pricing, so I did the decent thing !

PM if you'd like to try some VSTi's for free

Tay, I don't bulltulip here. I've had an interesting an unusual past 25 years. Music featured highly and touring with bands and doing studio session work and all that entailed was just the best fun for a wee boy from Clydebank.

I think they're getting upset at not knowing what the new rules are, yet being banned or infarctioned according to those new rules.

With respect, surely most people with a modicum of civility and intelligence shouldn't need explicit rules on how to behave on a public forum ?

I would have thought it self-evident that throwing insults, swearing, threatening and harassing behaviour are big no-no's.

Add to the generic disclaimers that exist nearly everywhere in every walk of life or office in the land about racism, sexism, and the other 'isms, and I think you'll find that would pretty much cover most things, without having to read specific T's and C's.

For the vast majority of us, I would hazard a guess that we don't need to have lines explicitly drawn. We get along nicely thank you, and if we do nudge a little over, then a simple PM saying : "ahem..." is sufficient to warn us. It's nothing to get upset about, I would have thought.

Granted, there might be others who DO need explicit instruction on do's and dont's.

These are probably not people you would want to share a railyway carriage with however, nor invite to a dinner party, or even trust with a pair of nail clippers.

It must be a thankless task to be an admin here, and having been one on a Warcraft forum with a fair share of adolecscents, I think I can sympathise somewhat.

The difference being, the 16 year old pubescent hormonal Warcraft forum had an excuse for their behaviour.

oh so you didnt want to get tied down to just one woman? It probably would have cramped your chick pulling Banjo styling. Good call.

I was engaged in my early 20's, partner miscarried 4 times so no chance of kids then but eventually split up. Career became more important despite starting as a hobby so still having serious fun both messing around with computers and doing the music thing.

[tay]

No, usually the other party.

Oh right .. you sneaking out of celebrities houses after giving them some of the Cliphead magic?

Nice one.

Sadly I didnt go to your site again on purpose. But I might do in the future! It is a goldmine!

[tay]

Never been married, no kids.
