Totally unrelated and inconsequential post.

We are moving DORUMALAIA samples refill spam to Texas now? Exactly just what is Dorumalaia trying to sell anyway. And why would anybody need sample refills in the first place? Do sampled sounds wear out or do they just go out of fashion. Like that is so 90's man, you need new samples if you want to keep working in this town.

At least he is totally harmless. Even kind of endearing in his clumsy, earnest and clueless manner. Sort of reminds me of how Groman or HaloJoy would be on LSD (no wait, based on some of what I've read from them, I think they were taking LSD).

DORUMALAIA's posts don't belong in Texas.
Do I miss the point when I think he only wants to offer us his own creations? Agreed, the style of the posts are rather 'commercially' inspired but nevertheless very friendly and perhaps useful for some people who like what he creates.
Why not move it to the music section?

/Hugo - thinks artists shouldn’t be discouraged. 🙂
 
i consider his posting as spam

also he doesn´t need to start a new thread each time he feels the need to spam diyaudio com, should he post all his spam in one free refill thread. or lets start a new thread in off topic - or texas - only for spam
 
Here we go again........

Since the commercial posts thing is on fire again, why not this one too?

Who decides who gets to be a moderator?

Who moderates the moderators?

What happens when a moderator acts like "*" as a member?

How do you tell when they are acting as a moderator or as a member?

(I have an idea......based on an idea from "Joe's garage, but I digress.......)

Who decides how long they remain a moderator? Is it some appointment for life? Can they abuse certain functions of the Forum, and remain one.

What if they invoke the wrath of a member, by ignoring their wishes wrt use of their IP???

"Question, questions, questions............ah, but it is a great time to be alive........"

(Yeah....I listen to a lot of Zappa.......)

1 A member who is presented with a proposition to become a moderator, decides about it. You would be surprised how many turn that offer down. How we choose those members? By observing their general attitude towards others.

2 Other moderators moderate the moderators. So far we didn't have any quarrels with regards to that, and everybody usualy knows when mistake has been made (and takes it like a man).

3 When a moderator acts like an "*" member, he is treated like an "*" member.

4 A moderator is a member first, and unless he's using a :cop: smiley with addtional notification that it is a moderators intervention, his posts should be treated as regular member's posts.

5 Again, it was customary so far, that a member decides how long he is a moderator. When he feels that he can't perform his duties in objective manner, he resigns. With one exception, it was also the case that those members left the forum permanently.

I only wonder about what´s the story behing this http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=358693#post358693 posting

The posting assumes you ignore Jock Homo

But maybe you will bring light in that obscure affair

If you read snakeoil stries the same way as you read other posts, I'm not suprised with your attitude.

It was Jocko who suggest I ignore you, and I was actually suggesting ignoring Fred. By that I didn't mean putting him on ignore list (I don't even know how to do that). I just choose not respond to his posts, that's all. I'm too curious to see what he writes (same about you) to put him on ignore list.
 
We know what you were suggesting, Peter....

And why.

But since Till seems to agree with us cranky old fart capitalists, maybe you should treat him with the same disdain you show for some of us.

BTW......Till and I generally do not agree on philosophical matters, but we enjoy a cordial relationship.

He does have good taste in beer.............

But does not change my qualms about interest conflicts in case a memeber is moderator and has economical interest in the boards topics.

I thought someone had elaborated a while ago that some members here are more equal than others.

and you are starting to figure out whom those members are, 🙂

Again, I don't think you have a proper understanding what a role of moderator on this forum really is.

The moderator is not here to set trends, impose opinions and present truths. The moderator is just a member who keeps things in order, he is a public servant who doesn't really have any special powers. He is a cleaner, who cleans others mess. He is a subject to critique the same way as any other member. His position is even worse from a regular member, because he has to act by example and can't always say what he really wants.
 
IMO memebers also are allowed to have an opinion what the role of a moderator is - or better - should be. Not only moderators.



Jocko, on the philosophy, how true. But without controversity no progress. Lernt from Hegel.

But i did not knew you are an old capitalist, could you please send me a small fraction of your millions of dollars over to old europe? you know, i´m a little short of this stuff, and some of those millions would help me to get a better capitalist.
