I posted a thread in the house forum about 2 weeks ago and it has 3 replies and 614 views

[hirszu]

I thought I would add my two cents, I'm relatively new to this forum and I mostly visit the General Discussion board as things there seem to be well organized to me, although, I admit, it could be more jokes.
I don't always visit the SNH, so much content being posted here I sometimes get confused and don't have that much time to read everything! Also it sometimes seems too hermetic tbh. When I registered I didn't really know why does something get posted in the SNH and not General Discussion and as a matter of fact I'm still not sure. For example the recent Compa thread, isn't that something music related meant to be posted in GD?
Anyway, this thread was an interesting read. Actually I wasn't aware of the house subforum until now, never checked it before

yo pete/wub:

when a new member posts shit in general discussion, and a neckbeard tells him off, why don't u just delete/edit the neckbeard's post?

that'll send the message to other neckbeards - this is what we're talking about. stop making these kinds of posts.

cause i feel like at the time they don't realize that what they're doing is pushing away prospective new heds.

Sound idea in principle, couple of issues with it though;

1) It's not practical to be able to monitor every new thread that gets posted in case people are being dicks
2) If we do delete posts because people are being dicks, then we inevitably get called sizan for doing so. Same with warnings/bans etc, some people always seem to be wanting to gestate that 'fight the power' mentality.

Let's look at a recent example. New user posts the question;

Just wondering if there is a thread here for Datsik?????

Now, before we start it's obvious that the above could've been answered by using the Search. So the logical responses would be to tell the new user to use the Search to find such information, or if you're feeling generous doing the search for them and linking a thread or two.

A selection of responses that the DSF faithful provided to this question;

U wot

oi m8 derez no threads 4 datsickk sry m8 but we dont liek brostepp

DSF 2009 #throwback

fuck off

These responses do not fall under the category of "don't realise what they're doing", IMO. This is just being a dick to someone for the sake of being a dick.

Fair play to OGLemon for actually responding in a pleasant manner;

To many folk think it's hilarious to effectively spam new user threads like this with abuse just 'because'.

[Nihilism]

I never understood why there's a house subforum and not a drum & bass subforum. Believe me, on the day that there will be a drum & bass subforum the site gonna have 5k new users.

And why don't you merge the grime forum with this forum and give those badman's a own subforum? More ppl on dubstepforum and then you also got rid of that garbage.

not practical to do it every time, of course, but just a few times could send the message and change attitudes. actually editing the post would be better than deleting it because then other ppl who came to the thread to do the same thing would see the mod edit.

i didn't mean they don't realize that they're pushing the new poster away from dsf. that's the reason they made the post obviously. what i meant was that they don't realize that the poster they are telling off could grow up to be a tru hed someday....and they don't realize that what they are doing is actually hurting dubstep and DSF. they think they are helping DSF by pushing away bros.

I've started with Skrillex and Modestep in 2010 and now I'm fucking embarassed to even think about it. That change is possible though, that's why I'm stating this

lol why? it's just music. and tastes change all the time


and this whole attitude of "helping people dig deeper" / "learn to like real dubstep", like fuck off seriously. sounds super pretentious and preachy. definitely guilty of doing in the past myself but w/e

just like what you like and let others like what they like

lol are you serious? sooooo many ppl like brostep but would be into other stuff if they were simply exposed to it. there are so many people who don't even know about 'deep' dubstep. there's nothing wrong with simply making ppl aware of deeper stuff and then letting them make the choice for themselves.

if someone had made ppl aware of deep dubstep, and the ppl didn't like it, and the person still kept at it and just spammed them to fuck, then yeah i'd agree that's pretentious and annoying.

but you'd be surprised i think at the percentage of brosteppas that would be into dubstep if they were simply made aware of it.

still waiting for darker version of new skin..unless that's already been done?

yeah i'm serious. and i get what you're saying. it's just that you see peeps going on about "educating" the bros like they're the keepers of some secret dubstep knowledge

[titchbit]

yeh, if they're acting all pretentious, then that's annoying, but trying to push ppl away from dsf cause they're "bros" is annoying too imo.

Don't be. Just evolve. Also, I bet if you listened to some NEW artists that sound similar to Skrillex ( I hear them all the time, one of my favs is Kairo Kingdom. ) I think what you mean is you obviously you don't want to brag to your friends about Skrillex being so awesome in 2014 but you can find a new producer and be the first of your friends to mention it, and if they blow up, your friends will thank you!!

[hirszu]

They do indeed and I just meant that I wish I knew about this stuff back then instead of listening to bro sounds for like a year. And getting to know all this deep stuff made me realise what an utter crap those tearout tunes were Anyway, there's no sense in getting into that, I've just brought up this point to show that people listening to bro can indeed change to deep
