Re: The Forum
I'm all for freedom of posting and stuff but it is getting a little much. Sorry, Flavio. Nothing personal.
I realize a decade ago when I first joined the forum I posted a lot and a few choice individuals criticized me for it. However, I think even in my posting frenzy heyday Flavio has me beat!
The only solution would be to somehow put a cap on the number of posts a forum member could post in a day. But, what number? 5? 10? 20? So, I guess let it be for now and hope he slows up a bit on his own.

Re: The Forum
We didn't ask for you to share your progress on every single thread in every single subforum. It's not all of us who has a problem, I think you maybe need to look at yourself and realise what you're doing. You're flooding the forum. Every thread you fill up with stuff about your recordings and seriously it's getting annoying. Just keep it all in the musician's forum, where people post their own stuff quite regularly, make a few threads there, and whoever wants to check it out can do so. What you're doing is just saturating the entire forum with your stuff and it's getting really tiresome. Nobody can start a topic without you filling it up with what recordings you're doing.Flavio Ontivero wrote:

Look, good for you, you're doing something and you're clearly enthusiastic about it, but have you not considered that maybe not EVERYONE is ALWAYS really super-duper interested in what you're doing? Are you really that narcissistic that you need to post everything everywhere all the time? I understand that you feel the need to promote your work, I'm not saying you shouldn't, but you've got a relatively small audience here and you might be better served attempting to promote this stuff on the wider web in general. Everyone here by now knows what you're doing, enough already.

Re: The Forum
Musician talk in English
Here musicians can talk to each other about making music etc. Of course if you are not a musician you are still welcomed to this board, but the topics should somehow be about making music.

This thread summarizes the current state of Stratoforum quite well.
Boring trolls, porn, narcissists, assholes, innocents, and lunatics filling up this wicked little town.
Dare to make a thread and expect it to go down. And if you have expectations, make them below zero.
It's a tragedy, I tell ya! A tragedy!
