Karaoke Forums

OK, I just received an e-mail response from the Karaoke Scene administration and they said that they would be happy to review whatever format changes we may decide upon.  But they also stated in turn,  we must throw a muzzle on Kappy,  and keep him outside

What Does It Take To Make A Change?

Turn this around:

Question:


One Answer:  The complaining parties invest EVEN less energy than these threads
                    are taking, and form a different type poll..



"How can we make SS work for US utilizing joint effort" as it is.  

(this to me seems the easiest solution.  Not asking the parents to shape the site to your individual needs IF (in fact) the majority aren't in here, but are having fun on the site)

Seems pretty easy...

People are T.O.'d because of personality clashes/ problems getting along, and ensuing tantrums..  YOU can modify that !   It's in your control... What's the average age in here ?

JMO..

Seems many aren't in here voting on these polls.  They are having fun in SS instead.

Incidently, I want to make note that I AM not playing devil's advocate.  I gave this some thought.  I'm the first to complain about how the current Critique category doesn't belong, as well as how the Rank system is counterproductive... HOWEVER..  I have the option of taking my ball, and going elsehwere if MOST are having fun playing the game.  THis is why I alluded to those that lose out, or as you stated "suffer" have already left SS.  THEY deserve THEIR own "smaller" more candid exchange elsehwere.. A true critiquing room CAN exist too ?  Why not ?  But SS isn't broken in the eyes of those that enjoy it... and aren't THOSE most ?

Good point, many people are having fun in SS as it is now. [highlight=crimson] I guess all these questions, concerns and complaints mainly effect people who are online here alot and follow the train of comments and posts[/highlight].

But lately I have been trying to say what I gotta say on board just to make my opinion know not necessarily count cause I know people are going to disagree but hey what can ya do ??

Does society as a whole need to lower its standards because of some that don't know their individual needs and hurt themselves with freedoms others enjoy ?  Some just seem to complain and continue banging their head against a wall  (subbing in an unreal but risky category with expectations of NO politically driven angst)

I feel bad for people like Lonman, and Jian, and others that really do want a Critique, those that DO wish for honest exchange, those that've been driven out because they KNOW they aren't "10" average singers (nobody is), and they really do care about growing and improving with others help... These types of individuals have suffered in a sense in SS,  and have been driven out of SS because a fantasyland isn't what they want.  They KNOW they are getting lied to, and don't like it, some actually are insulted by such a venue.  Those that lose out in SS, are the amateurs, novices, and ALL that do take their singing seriously and wish for genuine interaction and TRUTHFUL "Critique".. They won't get it in SS...

If I were allowed to propose something to administration that *I* felt would benefit the forum, it'd be a sub-group in the Singer's Forum visible to admitted members of the room only.  This would be a members club, and invitational type group that requires established members to approve of those they feel can function in a setting that WILL have a functioning Critique category, maybe a comments category too... This will be select group of SERIOUS singers and there would be criteria for admission.  Perhaps such a criteria would be as simple as a total of 10 viewable interactions in the current Singers Showcase beit comments left for others, or reactions to comments received on submitted material. Of the 10 total needed for admission and viewing,  5 subs would be viewable within the Critique category so those in the member-formed room that allows Critique (which can be called something like Jointly Interacting Artisan Novices Singing room) would be able to plainly view the maturity level, and ability of those admitted to interact in a setting that will have the same feature the current SS room has, but will be for the more serious singers only who can keep their cool, and HONESTLY Critique one-another.. Those that want a real recital type room...So whether it's the above room with the acronym Jians room, or Green Room, Stage left, whatever.... It'll exist for those that wish SS was realistic.
