One Thing You can Change About DMusic?

lreznik	Date: January 31, 2003 @ 8:26 PM If there was one thing you could change about DMusic, what would it be???
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 10:04 AM Hmm, has to be eliminating points
Wordsense	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 10:59 AM editing song titles without having to reupload
nintendomaster	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 2:34 PM I have two suggestions: 1) Must have DMusic Hall of Fame. You know, the artist who have been here the longest ad the bast songs ever in DMusic. 2) Maybe some awards or upgrade artist icon, based on how many points. When I say awards, I mean like cas prizes, trips, and cars.
lreznik	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 2:52 PM #2 - I don't think so - Why should we award spammers?
nintendomaster	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 3:08 PM I mean, as artist of couse My mistake
lreznik	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 3:09 PM The reward artists get is people enjoying their music.
NeoFlash	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 3:12 PM I've got a revamping plan for this site, but this only asks for 1 reason, note me for it.
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 3:12 PM Correct. (cheque's in the post Rez )
nintendomaster	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 3:19 PM and...
theguppykillers	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 3:23 PM I dont think theres much wrong with the site but it would be nice to see that Idea that I gave ya. kinda curious how it would go over. hhhhhmmmmm I will be back when I think of some thing. he he he
NeoFlash	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 3:23 PM And lreznik, I don't think milla would be happy that you said Dmusic, it's DMusic.
nintendomaster	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 3:25 PM but the title on the site are all lower case
Fiji	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 3:34 PM I think that points should be gone. People care WAY to much about them, and a lot of argumnets are started over them. This place would be a lot more peaceful if people wouldnt bicker over whos "whoring" the points and what not!
theguppykillers	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:10 PM but I have the most points now. if you were in my shoes you wouldnt want them gone. and there are point whores and there are peeps that have earned them. I feel I have earned theses points and I wouldnt be happy if they got tookin away.
Fiji	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:13 PM you have a good point. The MAJOR point whores have come to this site in the past few months...delete theres!!!
NeoFlash	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:14 PM I would feel that too. I mean, I don't make stupid threads here, barely any at all for that matter, I just got them. Yet since if I spell check, double post by accident, or do anything, I am called a point whore, so that's why I would want them eliminated.
theguppykillers	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:17 PM the points show who is truely dedicated to the site.
Fiji	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:22 PM Some people on this site have gotten half of your points in a MONTH guppster!!! Thats more than dedicated. Thats on the verge of whorish!
theguppykillers	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:24 PM who other than neo?
theguppykillers	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:25 PM ok wait ninteno did. ok this bites!
NeoFlash	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:30 PM fiji, what have I done to get so many points that is bad? I have few pageviews compared to him, I have made about 4 threads with few responses, never submitted a news article, and download songs not stream, as to not waste bandwidth here, I don't know why I got so many points, and I don't give a **** how many points I have.
nintendomaster	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:31 PM what? whoring is such an ugly word. I would like to call it "participation for enlightments"
NeoFlash	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:33 PM I wish there could be no more points, all it does is get you insulted for being active here.
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:33 PM While they're all outside fighting, I think the call for points elimination just gained ground as this is what points are helping to cause! But to compensate Guppy maybe he should have some crown icon or something?
OmegaDaemon	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:34 PM points? what points? I don't see a point to points other than to show who has nothing better to do than get points, anyway isn't there any time that the people with the highest points aren't on the website? Y'know doing stuff like living and making music and sleeping, among other things......
nintendomaster	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:35 PM indeed, u should not insult the person, by their points. As a matter of fact, you should hate the person inside..like the serious spammers we have for example
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:36 PM And from the time I've spent with Guppy, I know his points are well earned.
theguppykillers	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:38 PM thanks chillinbuzz
Fiji	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 4:40 PM Amen to that chillblood!!!
Frawgster	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 5:51 PM [this comment intentionally left blank]
lreznik	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 6:06 PM What if you only get points for posting articles that are authorized by administrators for the front page???? Then you'll have to work for your points - and we'll have cool point colors like rainbow and firebolt red!!!! Oh Cool
milladrive	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 6:16 PM Once again, my vote is to eliminate the points.
GrooveTonic	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 6:30 PM Yeah points are kinda pointless. . . eliminate them from atleast the forum if not altogether. Actually I don't care, do whatever you want, it's your site .
theguppykillers	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 7:03 PM well I am only one person and my vote is to leave them alone but it looks like I may loose this one.(shit shit shit)
NeoFlash	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 7:37 PM I would say keep them, but so many insults are being given to me for points, and I am doing everything with points not even in my mind. A select few scream pointwhore and ruin it.
NeoFlash	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 9:55 PM Wait: keep the journal though, I have used it as someplace to practice my writing. What this has to do with music though...
azhazhellfire	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 10:36 PM the point whore situation is taken way to seriously, people like buzz get they're points and people respect them, we know who the point whores are and they dont get respected so why worry? meep
theguppykillers	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 10:58 PM ya what azhazhellfire said good point my man
NeoFlash	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 11:01 PM I think azhazhellfire was hinting the cue to bash me now, people have done it in every other thread why not here?
theguppykillers	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 11:04 PM I think peeps should quit bashing. I think the point has been made and enough is enough.
NeoFlash	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 11:29 PM Yeah the hating goes too far. It's more about the music than the forums, shoutboxes, etc. I have started 3 threads here so I don't care I aint a point whore, and doesn't a ho get paid?! Technically it should've been point hoarder. Anyway, good luck with all the site changes, and if you ever need someone to give you financial support, anyone to help you with the coding, anyone to help you weed out the people who start pointless arguements, well, don't look at me!!!
MrXero	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 11:41 PM I think you should lynch and kill that joe guy because he's a jerk and his Notes are stupid.
Fiji	Date: September 24, 2002 @ 11:47 PM I think azhazhellfire hit the nail on the head. People get labeled as pointwhores and that sticks. They get no respect anyways. I dont know if anyone else has noticed, but the people that post the least amount of times, get more feedback. When I see these guys that posts every other post, I ignore them. When I see Guppster post, i read it, because he posts so little. I think if people relized that, the whoring would stop.
PointWh0re	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 12:17 AM Let's se the first thing would be to rid the spying, threats, following other members that the 'advanced whores' don't like. The hate that is spewed here is the worst I've ever seen on a messageboard forum, the true spammers on the site nintendoqueer, thelosdonbaby and neosuckup. And I would still like to know how someone like lindzkitten can become advanced without posting? hmm maybe ya should go read my DMusic bible to find out why? Course the real pointwhores don't wanna give up their hard earned points lol. man, this place is anything but a music site. bring back 'real' music like you used to have remember the DJ picks? well I do. The charts are BS because of the self-streamers, and the number one picks stink, roate the charts and the 'users' not just the artists who are the only ones basically commenting and voting on each other needs to be changed so it's only members and fans voting on them. no fans, no votes. rid the point system it has made the forums turn to shit in a matter of days because the newbies managed to become advanced magically overnight. It sould go by how long you've been a member like at deviant art not hby how many points someone has 'cheated' to get.
PointWh0re	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 12:20 AM not for nothing Guppy has been here longer than most so his points are valid someone who's been here less than three weeks becomes intermediate by either sending fellow users notes like crazy like lindz and or spamming the forums like nintendoqueer and losdonbady i refuse to use their nicks. I have yet to spam anything. My posts have been ligit. let us edit our journals. editing features would cause less spam and double postings due to typing errors. we dont all have spell check on our machines.
PointWh0re	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 12:24 AM you dont need to post simply send notes back and for to become intermediate like cryxan did, lindz ect. that should be done away with also. you shouldnt score any points for sending notes.
theguppykillers	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 12:56 AM meep
nintendomaster	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 2:26 AM How old are you, pointwhore? If you older than me, this is something that I should laugh till my side hurts.. Besides, its nintendomaster, and its LosThaDon, buddy. O yea, I just figured out a change for the forums (thankz for pointwhore). I think it should have a built-in spell checker in the forums.
creativetim	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 5:27 AM If there was one thing I could change about DMusic it would be nintendomaster's account deleted.
NeoFlash	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 7:22 AM Tim, after seeing osamabinladen, pointwh0re, neonazi and bluePelican, you want nin's account deleted? You gotta put things into perspective here.
Svensta	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 8:36 AM Please don't call him Nin. I do double-takes when I think people are taking Trent Reznor's name in vain. Thank you for understanding The one thing I would change would be to roll this site back to about March and start over. Maybe block some people from discovering it. Since that's impossible, I vote for the elimination of points and more admin monitoring and deleting of posts and threads in order to maintain some order. It's censorship, Tim, but it will make this place more enjoyable again.
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 8:40 AM Oh well, as I joined in April that would wipe me out too wanders off
milladrive	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 9:33 AM First, it doesn't _matter_ how OLD PointWh0re is! Can you stop with the ageism please? Thank you. NeoFlash, is there any way you can stop obessing with those 4 stupid accounts? The only thing they seek is attention and you are their favorite wet dream. On top of this, of those 4 accounts, the only one I would even consider a spammer is osama. Slamming is not spamming. Both slamming and spamming are unwelcome in this forum, of course, but they are indeed different. Nintendomaster has been alowed to remain under a certain set of conditions, and he knows what they are. Whoring is not new to this point system of ours (okay, who remembers fozzie and richie?) The points do indeed need to go. No points; no point wh0res. And even those who are called point whores but really aren't will lose the stigmas. People like Neo, ninmas, CDC, the ghost of Dee, et al, who all have thoughts rolling off their m ouse and onto our screen ad nauseum, whether pleasant-speak or not, won't then be considered wh0res. And I agree w/Svensta. ...altho there will be no censorship here at DM. There will be only "housekeeping."
outofgravity	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 12:04 PM To the the musicians should have a review section , without this points thing... i hate that... we could listen to the other musicians songs and give sugestions, and answer a questionary and by this the song would receive a grade, and we could have ranking based on this !
outofgravity	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 12:06 PM affffff my english is not good and im in a hurry , sorry for the mistakes.....
GrooveTonic	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 3:15 PM Come to think of it milla, getting rid of points might not solve the problem. I think another motive for artists to post all over the place is to advertise. So I guess what i'm saying is getting rid of points won't necessarily do much to help this problem. Not that it is a problem right now. I think it got out of control for a little while but is back to normal now. Whelp, that's just my observation--catchya later.
h1phop	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 4:22 PM mp3.com but free and isntant :)" id="21091">making it exactly like mp3.com but free and isntant
outofgravity	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 4:32 PM mp3.com doesnt use a good system , we can not give comments to the songs , the is no forum , can only get in contact with the bands my e-mail .... it sucks " id="21093">no ... mp3.com doesnt use a good system , we can not give comments to the songs , the is no forum , can only get in contact with the bands my e-mail .... it sucks
theguppykillers	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 4:45 PM also the point system gets addicting and draws people to the site good and bad. if you take it away you are taking one of the perks of the site away. long live the almighty point system! hail to the point king and bow at his feet!(he he he)joking of course
NeoFlash	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 4:58 PM Ya know if whoever is controlling my screwed up point count keeps doing what they are doing, in a month you'd be bowing to me. Down with points!
azhazhellfire	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 5:07 PM you know what could change? we should be able to have a little box in settings were we could type in something that would be entered automattically into each post. so i wouldnt have to keep doing this... meep
nintendomaster	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 6:10 PM I believe that Tim's ambitious is not into proper order. Believe or not, he is not thinking straight as I'd hope for. Tim, try to think about it before you say anything. It would be a great help to not use your mouth for evil. I hope you catch my drift
theguppykillers	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 7:01 PM please dont start this crap again. Tim dont say a word and nintendo dont say a word. if you guys have a problem with each other keep it to your selves and write each other a note cause we are all sick of it.
forrix	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 9:16 PM ok, so yeah - the points are a point of controversy.. but just look at how much fun we've all had reading and posting in this forum!! hell, i'm thankful for the topic to pass the time reading about.. watching others get all up in arms. so you sit down at your computer, log on to D(M)(m)usic, moan, groan and dicuss one thing or another, entertaining yourself and others. it's why we all come to the forums. why not let it be about points? at the end of the day, when you log off and get into bed, does it really matter anyway? leave the points. they're fun. it gives us something to do.
mtbatol	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 10:30 PM I wouldn't mind seeing the disappearance of points. It'll be hard to let go but then again it's not like I'll get a gold bolt by continuing to post my useless babble wabble so yeah buh bye to points I suppose. Hmmmmm.... **hurries up to 200,000 points and set like the worlds record before it's too late
OmegaDaemon	Date: September 25, 2002 @ 10:34 PM long threads..........yea we need to get rid of long threads.... down with the threads down with the threads down with the threads um.......yeah, so hows the weather?
creativetim	Date: September 26, 2002 @ 12:32 AM I am thinking straight. I will say what I want to. I'm not here to please everyone. I please only those I choose, so because Russ is so cool, I'll keep what I say down SOME.
nintendomaster	Date: September 26, 2002 @ 12:45 AM um whatever, just stay back
theguppykillers	Date: September 26, 2002 @ 1:00 AM well I guess that is better than nothing.
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 26, 2002 @ 11:03 PM sigh
backmann	Date: September 26, 2002 @ 11:50 PM Gnutella.com has anything to do with the site, but it should be updated quickly." id="21215">An option to edit journals. And I don't know if Gnutella.com has anything to do with the site, but it should be updated quickly.
Schilly	Date: September 29, 2002 @ 1:06 AM yes I agree with backman obviously
azhazhellfire	Date: September 29, 2002 @ 2:06 AM hey, gnutella and dmusic should merge, they share so much, users and that. and it would be so cool if on the front page you had one option to download those client things and another to..........you get the idea. meep
PointWh0re	Date: September 29, 2002 @ 5:26 AM They are connected u dumbasses. How do u think people from dmusic can post a shout in your shoutbox and post in the forums without being a member of gnutella? you prob the same morons who use the gnuetlla main shoutbox for a search engine instead of shouting.
PointWh0re	Date: September 29, 2002 @ 5:28 AM boycott-riaa.com Jesus, learn something before posting. " id="21369">DMusic, gnutella and devart all used to be linked. Deviantart is no longer linked to DMusic. Whatever partner sites DMusic features are also linked liked boycott-riaa.com Jesus, learn something before posting.
nintendomaster	Date: September 29, 2002 @ 3:26 PM Pointwhore: azhazhellfire just made a suggestion, you incompetant child. Anyone can make a suggestion that is interesting and unusual. Of couse, he knew that DMusic and Gnutella are connected. So watch your mouth before I use a soap bar to clean your filthy mouth. Peace easy
theguppykillers	Date: September 29, 2002 @ 5:42 PM pointwhore needs to be removed. if you agree say yes! lets make a vote and get rid of her!
Fiji	Date: September 29, 2002 @ 6:46 PM ...yes! (that makes 2)
azhazhellfire	Date: September 29, 2002 @ 9:00 PM on the other hand she is annoying and it would be a relief to just take the easy path of deleting her. just thought i'd point that out. :uk: meep " id="21407">yes and no, if we remove her (is it a she?) then we're just giving her what she wants, we gotta ignore her, remember at the bottom of her posts she used to put...."yay one more point b4 i get deleted" or sumthing like that. also whats stopping her from re-signing up under another user. on the other hand she is annoying and it would be a relief to just take the easy path of deleting her. just thought i'd point that out. meep
pog	Date: September 29, 2002 @ 10:22 PM Isn't this site about artist's and ppl's opinions regarding music, and the music industry or what ?? Now just lately, I've been noticing a fair bit of peeps bagging the crap outta each other for having their own ideas that differ from each others, and it's really kinda gitting to the point of ridiculous... All of us are going to meet others in our lives that are gonna have different ways of doing, and approaching things, and for this I am grateful !! I guess what I'm trying to say is, as far as changes in dmusic that I'd like to see, is if you guyz don't agree with each other, bring it on ! Discuss these issues and differences, but don't just quarrel amongst each other, trying to out insult each other, cos it is rather lame and boring to witness.
backmann	Date: September 29, 2002 @ 11:49 PM Hey, don't you think I already know that??? I came here before you. I just don't understand completely the relationship between both sites.
theguppykillers	Date: September 30, 2002 @ 12:26 AM the problem is that pointwhore is here only to piss people off and that isnt fair to the rest of us. we have to suffer cause 'it' wont leave
azhazhellfire	Date: September 30, 2002 @ 12:42 AM I think its very funny to read. and to take part of. its all part of being a family. http://www.dmusic.com/forum/interact/1603 :uk: meep" id="21437">"but don't just quarrel amongst each other, trying to out insult each other, cos it is rather lame and boring to witness."

losthadon	Date: September 30, 2002 @ 12:44 AM I really think that the DM picks should be updated atleast on a monthly basis. At this rate, the dmusic staff has very poor taste if the artists showing are the permanent choices...
azhazhellfire	Date: September 30, 2002 @ 12:58 AM its true, but we really dont have a case to complain, do we? i mean, this is a free service and i dont think theres enough tracks uploaded in a month to change the charts every month. meep

OmegaDaemon	Date: September 30, 2002 @ 4:24 PM maybe get rid of meep first....
milladrive	Date: September 30, 2002 @ 4:26 PM Where would we be without meep? Just ask yourself that question.
theguppykillers	Date: September 30, 2002 @ 5:16 PM meep meep meep and stuff
OmegaDaemon	Date: September 30, 2002 @ 6:08 PM we would be meeped?
MerkDaGod	Date: October 1, 2002 @ 4:53 PM Dmusic.com a better place lol. Pzz" id="21657">I could add more "Hot Hip Hop" music, And get more people to join. I could also add News articles, get more viewers, and Make Dmusic.com a better place lol. Pzz
theguppykillers	Date: October 1, 2002 @ 5:20 PM we have enough hip hop
leflaw	Date: October 1, 2002 @ 7:26 PM thanks for the list , cryxan. Good job.
RevHope	Date: October 2, 2002 @ 3:39 AM The thumbs down and up bull. My songs weren't even working yet and they got voted down lol. Oh well, I can see what this site is all about. It doesn't bother me but the songs weren't even working yesterday. Listen before voting is that so much to ask?
RevHope	Date: October 2, 2002 @ 3:41 AM No search in forum so start where? I'll be damned if Im gonna write down every number to find an old thread.
nintendomaster	Date: October 2, 2002 @ 10:19 PM I would have to say that you guys should have robot admins, in case the admins are not present in DMusic. After all, the admins truely are humans . For example, when the admins are gone, most of the artists' songs ard deleted. Also, some Norton Virus peogram in DMusic. I hope you guys got it
gemini20	Date: October 2, 2002 @ 10:50 PM Some of these DM picks are garbage...who picks them...some DM picks have no votes..whats up w/ that...if its a DM pick it should at least show someone voted it as good...you need to choose some people to provide you with picks for each genre. WHoever is doing it now
RevHope	Date: October 3, 2002 @ 3:45 AM Just look at some of those dates the artist signed up some are over a year old and they still are DM picks. A big chart rotation or a good house cleaning is in order. And as far as hip/hop goes you got over a thousand artist trapped in the bin, there are plenty of hip/hop artists to choose from. (MHO)
nintendomaster	Date: October 3, 2002 @ 4:13 AM #100 post baby (I always wanted to do that)
