Well, personally, there was no reason for the "Hector" topic to be closed if it was open for as long as it was. According to the original rules, it should have been locked right away because people were asking why he was banned or whatever, like my topic asking why Rob was banned. And then it was closed after almost four pages. You closed it because you didn't want people to discuss the rules anymore and then you had to have the last word and then you closed my reply topic to it because you didn't want to have to answer my questions. You didn't give an explanation as to why either topic was closed.
First off, I did not close the topic the first time. I asked Matt if he closed it and he said he did not. So don't jump to conclusions that I close every topic here that gets closed. You also can't compare that topic to yours because Rob was still a member of this board. Hector is not. People are free to discuss Hector all they want. The topic was meant to announce that he wasn't coming back. I still have not told anyone why he was banned in the first place. In fact, I got a PM yesterday asking me why and I refused to give an answer. After he got banned, he said to leave him banned because he doesn't want to come back anyway. I closed it because it went so far off topic. ...and I do get the last word. I'm an administrator. If Matt and I feel that something is not up for discussion, that's the ruling. We have control over the rules and administration panel here. I don't get into arguments over artists and then get the last word, and close it. I get my last word when it comes to the administration, because I am the administration and I know more about what goes on than any regular member of the board. ...and I didn't close it because I didn't want to spend time answering your questions. If that was the case, I would have closed this topic last night because I'm spending a good deal of time answering your questions right now.
You said:
I didn't know it was closed for a reason. I just thought you did it because you were bored? I dunno. I still don't know.
No I didn't. I don't even talk like that. If you mean that you're saying that, getting an attitude is not smart when you're trying to get things to go your way.
How about this? Why not make a Forum for Canadian songs, news, charts, etc? I'm sure there would be enough discussion for all this stuff to generate it's own forum and it would keep it out of the format topics and whatnot but not flood the Global Charts topic. Before Canadian stuff got moved officially to Global Charts, there was a nice amount of discussion and stuff but now there are only a few replies in the airplay chart topic. And if anything, it would shut The Max (me) up.No. I made one proposal to allow Canadian charts to be posted in the forum with American charts. Canadian charts are not getting their own forum. We're not adding a whole new forum for you just because you're threatening to shut up if we do it for you. Threats and attitudes are not going to get you what you want. If there's only a few replies in Global Charts to your Canadian threads, there will be even less in a forum specifically for Canadian charts. That's an even narrower topic. |

the funny thing about this comment is... did Ron, Brida or Keith ever tell anyone NOT to post the Canadian CHR/Pop forum over on R&R... i don't see why you make an issue about that yourself, while making it seem like only Mike has the problem. William was told he received a few nasty e-mails, though i'm not pointing the finger at you, or anyone else i can't help but think that someone that has an issue against canadians posting the Canadian charts on the CHR/Pop forum wrote them....
If what we need is an all-canadian forum (though i don't see what that would change...) then i'm for it...

Let me tell you something. If I am one of four people who has control here, why would I bother sending someone e-mails about what annoys me at the board. If it annoys me, I move it. |

Maybe we should put more things to a vote. Like where Canadian charts should be discussed. 1- In CHR/Pop, 2- In Global Charts, 3- Separate Forum. That'll shut people up, right? Can't argue with the majority decision.

Can't argue with the majority decision. I say: For the Canadian CHR/Pop charts: CHR/Pop For general Canadian airplay and sales charts: Global Charts |

If you get nasty emails from board members you can hide your email address. Or you can keep track of where it came from and not read any more emails from that person. |

So what about my suggestion? Yes or No? No, people are not going to get final words. That defeats the purpose of locking it Then someone will come on 3 days later and say that they didn't get their final word. I think it's a ludicrous idea myself. |

Canadian charts are not getting their own forum. We're not adding a whole new forum for you just because you're threatening to shut up if we do it for you. Threats and attitudes are not going to get you what you want. If there's only a few replies in Global Charts to your Canadian threads, there will be even less in a forum specifically for Canadian charts. That's an even narrower topic.
I have to admit though, I totally overestimated you when it comes to your administrating job. I thought you would AT LEAST consider or discuss the possible idea of a Canadian forum. But you turned it down completely, right away, without discussing it with other moderators or with Matt or anyone else. Makes me wonder what you have against us Canadians. I haven't a clue? Also kind of makes me think what you think your roll as administrator is? It looks to me like you're certainly getting a headrush whenever you sit at the computer because you get to control the people at this place. Too bad for you it's not your board. I didn't even know the decision was even yours to consider?
My reasoning for the forum was since a good percentage of the people here are from Canada, we like to discuss music that get released in our country only. I could understand if there were only 5 or 6 Canadians here out of 300 people but there's a lot more! There's probably not even as many non-North American people at these boards then there are Canadians. Canadian music could get a lot of discussion and it used to until it got moved to Global Charts. The excuse about not generating much discussion is bullcrap because we have Smooth Jazz forums and Latin forums. Now you'll probably reply that they are both R&R formats and "this is an R&R board." Well, this ISN'T an R&R board. They don't own us. And those two forums don't generate much discussion. Smooth Jazz is still not gone passed one page since the board started 1/3 of a year ago! I'm sure the Canadian Forum wouldn't be busy enough to generate 1 full page of topics a day but I'm sure it would be busier than Smooth Jazz and Latin forums.
I think I'll probably ask Matt since these aren't even your boards. Now that I think about it, I don't even know why I asked you in the first place? You're just a moderator. You aren't in charge of making forums.So you talked to them afterwards? I thought that was just a pure assumption and nothing else?
Here's the closed topic:
pulsemusic.proboards12.com/index.cgi?board=lounge&action=display&thread=1073696159
Where you said: "You're replying to a closed topic? Ever think it was closed for a reason. Well now you know."This shouldn't even be an issue. OMG you are just looking for things to bitch at and it is getting pretty annoying. Now stop the complainin or make your own board sheesh
So hopefully Matt can consider the idea or at least discuss the idea of a Canadian Music Forum. The boards here have enough Canadians that I would think it would warrent at least the possibility of one. I can't think of one reason that would prevent the idea other than close-mindedness or a reason to "get back" at me because I'm complaining but I'm asking Matt, not Josh. Matt is fair. |

Matt didn't "let" us be moderators. We got elected. So people obviously felt that we were fit for the job.
...and what makes you think we did not discuss this? There is a topc iin the Administration Lounge. So calm down and don't jump to assumptions.
The best advice anyone gave was that if you don't like it, leave. I won't cry. I promise.

Did you ever realize that Ron, Brida, and Keith were rarely even at the board? With the possible exception of Ron, who was never at the boards anyway, they didn't even care about the members at the board and saw it as a hassle to keep up with. so they were hardly there, that didn't mean they didn't care... you keep saying that Pulse is like R&R, and when someone points out the obvious that things are NOT the way they were on R&R you go and use an argument like that?? puh-lease! Seems to me like you're looking for an excuse to oust anyone who doesn't see it the way you do... Think about it, you claim the boards are Americans and R&R was too.... yet i never saw any problem with a canadian topic on R&R and i was a member for awhile, no member, no administration complained about it back then, so what makes it different now?? Oh lord have MERCY on us ALL. things would be so much smoother if you'd get banned like you so deserve... i don't know how many warnings you can get, but you've crossed the line far more often then some of the other members who've been banned... |

Please! This has nothing to do with anything! The problem is no one knows what they want. People are bitter that they're not running things so they're like "Ban this person. Make this forum. Take away this person's position." The boards were created in September. We've done a bunch of things for you along the way. We're done with the changes. If you would like to be free to run things, make your own forum. It's free. |
