i think its a good idea and have no problem with it at all as i luv this site and would not want to disrespect it as you all should to.

and the negitive feed back are from people that are still using public sites. hit and runners.

get yourselfs into a private site and you guys would respect what these guys are doing alot more i know i do.

thanks

I downloaded some boxing from here not long ago, it was described as a great fight, it wasn’t even a fight, never mind great.

I am happy for you to do what you want with your site but if you do one thing could you make sure that people who write about releases know what they are talking about or lose them? They have heard of Google, right? It is not rocket science and there are many here who would actually put the work in rather than lazy out another “I have no idea what I am talking about” post.

The boxing post was a waste of my time and others, if you think that when that happens I am not going to say what is on my mind in the comments you may as well ban me now.
I will however be back later whatever you do, so why flex your muscles when you are in a fight that can not be won.

Either stop any posts or accept that no matter how much power you think you have, you haven’t, this isn’t the 80’s and you aren’t the only person who knows how to use a computer properly and improperly.

I think this is a little over the edge .. No reason to flip over some off topic comments? It is a part of it. The other way around people are almost scared away from postin..

What I just wrote is on-topic.. Plz don’t ban me .. ^^

How about do what major private trackers do, and put ’say thanks’ button?

Throws BS comments right out the door.

Hey how bout a big shout box?

I mean, it would clean the commens up pretty easy without having to ban people n stuff….

Not that hard to get one is it?

or maybe a java chat

or even better, your employees or staff or whatever could not make deliberate provocative political comments, get called on their bullshit and be publically humiliated, and then run to you and cry how unfair it all is.

What I was trying to say in the previous post is that I’d rather suggest removal of all offensive (racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, etc), unintelligible, and obviously unnecessary (e.g. “OMG PUKKA RULES!” types) comments, perhaps preceded by the one warning rule* to let some newcomers know in advance that their actions are unwelcome. Otherwise I just really don’t see the reason for these comments to exist. Frankly, the only reason I spend some of my time here and not on, let’s say, Ars Technica forums, is because this is one of the few places where one can discuss new scene releases and not some vaguely interesting technological news. Without those comments, there are plenty of places that provide similar reviews of new stuff almost as quickly as RLSLOG does. I’ve visited those places and they are not that interesting.

Also, I don’t see how I can possibly post anything now. Last time I pointed out to Mr.X that his review phrase “not everyone who is brown is a terrorist, unlike what the US media wants you to think” was a bit biased against the States, I was told that “…since there are many children who like to post here, and they are incapable of intelligent thought…if your IQ is below 90, and you are named:…Boo. And I won’t delete their comments or ban them, so others can see how ignorant their thought processes are.” With this ambiguous announcement, I don’t see any other choice than to stop commenting on anything in order not to get banned…

*One warning rule doesn’t mean spending additional time on offenders: after a comment has been deleted, if the poster continues to violate the rules even once again, that person will be banned.

or any !commenter! could mark previus comments on- or offtopic, and a filter link for very low rated comment’s

Another possible way>
manually approving good commenters, and an approved commenters filter on the site

My trouble is i agree with both Boo and Martin.
A shoutbox could be a good compromise.
Might be the most popular section on the quiet days

I didn’t even know you had a forum. lol. will redirect comments there if I feel the need.

a shoutbox type thing is cool idea. dont know how managable it would be though.
