Title: would you like to see that gossip gets banned from the forum?
Post by: Dre-Day on April 07, 2009, 02:03:48 AM
what i like about dubcnn is, that it keeps gossip & sensasionalism to a minimum.

however it is not prohibited on the forum.
this topic isn't about, whether the staff should ban gossip,
as i know that it will never happen, plus i'm sure they have their reasons for allowing it.

i'm just wondering whether you agree with me.
i know it's very hard to ban gossip from the forum,
but it would reduce the negativity a lot + it would benefit contributors of this place

What do you mean gossip?

Speculation is the lifeblood of any forum.

There is a lot of copy/pasting of bullshit articles from bullshit sites, i'll give you that.

It's the 2Pac collector beefs that are really killing the forum IMO. Like a fuckin soap opera.

It should be (and is for the most part) dealt with on a case by case basis.  If the 'gossip' sparks discussion, then it's all good.  But if it just creates a bullshit thread it'll get locked.

good point.

i'm not sure about the last part though; maybe that's the policy, but i don't see those topic getting locked very often.
maybe Jome does from time to time though

definately agree with sikotic and adon. Its a hiphop FORUM, its here to create discussion and make people aware of gossip and all thats happening in hiphop. If people cant take gossip, dont take part in it  imo and if it does really go over the top and people start bitching from every angle instead of resposding to the original gossip than yes, lock the topic if aint got nothing to do with the original gossip, but overall, this is the internet and a hiphop forum, people have the right to post as much gossip as they want whether true or not, if it aint worth checking, dont respond to it. 8)


sikotic and adon on point.

pz!

i can take gossip, but i don't like the influence it has on this forum.
hence i made this topic.

by the way, take into account that, while this is a public forum, it is someone's property.
that's why i clearly stated that i'm not telling what should happen with this place.

i'm just sharing my thoughts.
anyway, you're right that the damage of gossip on a rap forum is a joke, in compared to the tremendous impact of gossip on society.
but that doesn't mean, that relatively speaking, there is no problem.
it's obviously not a problem to you.
however i'm certainly not the only one that has a problem with it; outside of the ones that spoke on it, there are posters that agree with me but haven't entered the topic(yet).
we problably form a minority though.

i'm quite confident that my suggestion will make the forum cleaner and more appealing,
based on the observations i've done for a long time.
i remember that several posters were clowning me last year, when i made a similar topic such as this one.
yet a part of the staff agreed with me and eventually took action.
not that i influenced them with my topic, but it did prove that the issue that i had brought to the light, back then, was not made up.

also, i'm not knocking your for agreeing with what Sikotic posted, but he clearly proved in this topic that he's one of the many simple-minded posters; this topic is obviously not meant for him, as it is too complex.

The gossip does get tiresome but for the most part the posters that have bad intentions meet they demise one way or another. I just tune it out and stick to and post in topics that I enjoy reading.

Haha, someone is having a hard time accepting the fact that another person disagrees with him. All I said is you are making an issue out of a non-issue.

I completely understood the "complexities" of this topic.......haha, "complex". But what can you really expect from someone with a Paris avatar?

This is a forum dedicated to hip hop, voice of the lowest common denominator in America. The sound of white tee rocking, illiterate idiots. Dre Day here, is concerned that gossip will lower the standards of this place. I guess I'm the only one who sees the irony.

LOL just because you're simpleminded, doesn't mean i don't respect different views  :laugh:

i mean i could try to explain to you, but why should i bother?
you already proved to me that you're not a credible poster at all.
now if you had entered the topic with strong arguments, it would have been different.

but now there's no way i can take you serious anymore to help the conversation

Oh God, I lost all credibility on a hip-hop forum.

I know you're the "credible" hip-hop poster around here, but does that really even matter if today's hip-hop has no credibility?

Hope I'm not going too fast for ya. You think about that while I sit down and brainstorm some arguments to your pointless thread.

G-Spot exists solely for the purpose of bullshit threads. Which is sad because it usually turns out more interesting than the actual music sections. I've tried posting there but they only talk about the same five rappers.
