First off, a question: is it possible to still allow responses without the new post automatically bumping the thread to the top? In other words, some method of turning off the "reorder by latest date" chronological function just for this forum? (I realize it may or may not be either possible or practical, I just wanted to ask...)
I like the idea of people being able to make comments. It's good to get feedback, IMO. Of course, as pointed out, no one has yet posted any "THAT sucked" comments...
It's also nice to be able to ask questions about the recording and get responses in the same thread.
I definitely think a limit of a link to ONE piece per post would be a good idea. I'd love to hear everything everyone has to offer, but listening is a "real time" activity, and there are only so many hours in a day.
About titles: some people's pieces don't have actual names, so it would be hard to make that a requirement. :?
But the main thing is, I think it would help a LOT if people would merely
read and follow the simple instructions – but I also know how well they already follow the instructions in
BIG RED LETTERS about photo width (i.e, about <u>half</u> the time...
maybe). No matter how many times you tell people to put a descriptor in the title, they're still going to put up "Here's my stuff" posts...
I dunno, I don't have any real solutions, but you asked what I thought, so you got it. ;-) CS
