I don't think it is a good idea to have an option in SS where the member can remove comments that they don't like. Such option can be easily be abused.

SS is not moderated, unlike the forum. Maybe what SS need is a mod.or two and a form of fast system to comunicate with them.

We've talked in other threads about having all critques done thru PM ...... but an "approve this comment" option would, in essence, be exactly that.  It would be like getting several PM's .... and deciding which (if any) you chose to share with the public.  It might also help stop some of the "jumping on a bandwagon" stuff that seems to occur.  I've seen it happen several times..... where a critque is posted, and then someone else critiques the critique ...... rather the song they are listening to.  This seems to me to be a HUGE problem around here.

I THINK your shirt says, GETOVERIT????  Im OLD .... the vision is really going!!  But... that is what it looks like to me, Kelley!


I've been around this place for about 3 yrs...... and yes, typically speaking .... it does take 's attention and whatever it is he has to do ...... to bring around changes that are suggested.  

Actually Odie .... when I got here ...... things were different ...... and some suggestions made in the forums did eventually come to fruition.  

For instance .... This entire submission process was revamped.  

Rank/Critique Submission?  Yes   No  (still allows comments)
Allow Comments?  Yes   No
Theme of Week?  Yes   No

Before this, all subs were open to critique.  THEN...... when things started to get "hot" and people started to feel hurt, stalked, or offended (and let me tell ya, it wasn't just those receiving the critques ..... but those GIVING them as well that got raked over the coals) that is when the option for whether you wanted a critque or not was implemented.

I saw that Luly suggested that there should be a way in which the submitter could delete a nasty or inappropriate critque.  I think this is a good idea.  It certainly would put a stop to those that intentionally say very hurtful things.  They may get to post their comment, but it wouldn't stay visible for very long ...... which MIGHT really help lift the morale around here again.  However, I do think that sometimes its important for a person wanting to be critiqued to receive and appreciate some of the "not so favorable" comments .....  as long as they aren't insulting or attacking.  If done with kindness and well stated, those kinds of comments probably SHOULD stay on a "critique" submission ...... after all, the person has asked for "critique" .... which usually implies ......... Tell me what you like and DISLIKE about this performance.  How should I change it..... What should I leave alone.


But............ any way .......... the answer, ODIE ....... is to start the thread with ........ we are making suggestions here ........ or something along those lines to get his attention .... and if enough people are in favor of the change ..... he will try to get things shaking.  At least, that is how it used to be.  I haven't been around much this year..... so Im not sure if things have changed a lot or not.  

A good idea.

Actually CC its an excellent idea because those that are just there for the fluff would be apparant in a matter of a couple of subs.

I do also feel that the way comments are editable yet replies arent is a strange way of doing things given a small proportion of people that abuse the editing option constantly.

CC have a good one but still, a Mod may be needed there. Like when some one sub an XXX rated song and a song intro that is not aproprated.

Can someone start a thread with a vote option?

I would offer but I still think I start too many threads.

once told me that if I wanted to get information to the admins and to be seen quicker.. To place it in the Admin thread.  I would suggest though that if you have a complaint give a solution to the complaint.. Otherwise everyone will just look like a bunch of whiners....

i.e.  I don't like it when someone is really mean on SS in a comment.  Solution:  Enable the user to delete unwanted comments from their own subs.
