Billy Apple Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 [quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1366562682' post='2054085'] And to be perfectly frank, that isn't helped by mixed signals from the mod team. [/quote] This can be the case. If a mod gets involved in the debate then takes the huff and locks up, it a bit like, well it's my ball and I'm taking it home. But the mods come from the members, and it would be a bit rough if all a mod could do is act as an editor. Over-all it's like a bell curve, fat and juicy in the middle with some questionable stuff at the edges.

I mean, WTF else are you really going to talk about in Off Topic? Just about everything else in life is covered in the rest of the forum.

ezbass Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 For the most part BC is the next 2 quotes, a place populated by those with a good fun sense of humour. Add to that the huge knowledge base, what I perceive to be a light handed touch by the mods (YMMV) , a source of GAS and a place to sell my stuff (to finance GAS) to like minded souls is why I'm here and will remain. There will always be naysayers and they tend to shout louder than most but the majority will out, this thread an example of that very thing.

And for that reason alone I'm cancelling my as yet unpaid subscription because all you lot is a shower of b@stards.

Mykesbass Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Great site, £20 very fair, especially as I'm now settled with what I have so nothing to sell I think the bad vibes that do happen on OT could reflect the times we are going through with a lot more divisiveness in life in general. Overall though I still think the site is very "entertaining" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toneknob Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 [quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1366562682' post='2054085'] any thread started about a vaguely controversial topic will very quickly by inundated with "well this isn't going to end well" type comments, essentially writing off the thread as a car crash before it's even got going [/quote] That and "IBTL" Thanks for asking for feedback, mods - much of the time basschat is mine of useful information, laughs and pleasant diversions. However there are certain posters who I wish would follow your lead and request feedback for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 In terms of mods getting involved in threads and posts, the bulk of actions come from members reporting something they disagree with - as opposed to the moderating team sifting through everything. We got a [b]lot[/b] of reports. Some are clear cases, but many not - and all are insistent for a response or some kind of action. You might start a light-hearted thread, which can unwittingly and mortally offend half a dozen other members for all kinds of reasons - and there are some very serious reasons, why you simply could not foresee. It can make it very tough to please everybody - if such were even possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggiesnr Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I enjoy Basschat and it is less bad feeling than many other forums I belong to. As far as OT is concerned I partake carefully and opt out when it starts getting personal. One of the forums I belong to has a forum called "The Fireplace", it's restricted to members who've made a reasonable number of posts and the Mods apply one rule consistently "attack the argument not the person" if it descends into personal abuse then sanctions occur. Seems to keep it in check. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I guess I am a fairly recent convert to Basschat, I came here by recommendation and decided to stay, this is the first and only forum I actively visit and contribute to, I like OT and will contribute to quite a few of the threads but will stay out of threads that I consider are overly confrontational (Art or Entertainment springs to mind for some strange reason) I recently posted about the homeless people evicted into the snow and had nothing but supportive and kind comments from my fellow Basschat members. As a football fan of a lousy team (I guess that doesn't narrow it down too much!) I also looked recently at one of their forums, I spent five minutes looking at the bile and hatred spilling out of every other post, I shall not be returning anytime soon! I have paid my £20....listed 1 item...nobody wanted it....no problem here, I sold it on Ebay and swallowed the huge fees, I would obviously sooner have sold it on here but that's the way it goes. So thanks to the Mods and my fellow Basschat members I think this is a rather nice place to visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I was happy to pay the £20 fee - a huge bargain compared to eBay. If I see things getting fraught in a thread, my reaction is the same as if I was seeing a heated exchange in the street - just walk away.

davehux Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 It's all crap. The £20 is a rip-off. The mods need therapy. No one has EVER given a decent answer to one of my questions. I hate you all ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
