First thing to say is, Tone, I hope your domestic issues resolve themselves happily and sooner rather than later. For what it`s worth you`ve started an excellent resource here. It inevitably has its issues, but they can be resolved easily, after all most people here are adults.
Boydie, I`m glad you used the term guidelines rather than rules, it is Tones wish that guidelines be applied and members act within those few simple protocols, without having to impose hard and fast rules.
I have only posted around 130 times over three months membership and that makes me a junior compared to some members, that’s fine, but for what it is worth my 1 centimes worth.
I don`t believe it`s necessary to restrict users to one song per month, two is fine provided people don`t continually bump their songs to the top of the list. When people want to thank others for feedback received one bump initially should be sufficient and then editing the original thankyou message should suffice thereafter. The issue of new members posting their songs is a growing pains issue, as the site attracts more members inevitably more songs will be posted (a good thing). Currently there are five new songs out of twenty seven and two messages relating to Sept` SOTM.
Members or mods should point out to new users the need to offer feedback if they post material for feedback. But that should be consistent, not only when people remember or get angry.
In the lyrics section one song per week would be an adequate limit, it`s quiet over there anyway, any further restrictions would strangle it.
In Wips and Collab`s no restrictions need apply those sections simply aren`t busy enough to warrant it.
I also think it would be a good idea to make Tones founding principles and the guidelines a sticky topic in each relevant section.
My views as a newbie, for what they`re worth. I do think members old and new should offer their views. I`m happy to be shot at, if people think I`m wrong.
