Things You Don't Like About The Site

[Gvac]

In the interest of being fair and offering another point of view, what are some of the things you don't like about ronfez.net?

What do you think could be improved?

I think there should be term limits for moderators.

I think the FAQ section should be updated.

I think there should be uniform rules for everyone to abide by, not just the mods pets.

I think once a mod or admin has decided they are no longer interested in actively participating for whatever reason, they should be relieved of their title and replaced.

I think there are way too many forums that take away from actual show discussion.

I think the chat room blows.

[Foster]

I think the size limit of the sigs should be increased

there I said it

[biozombie]

Fuck that, no way. I don't wanna have to turn them off like I did on FBA.

sorry, I stand firm on this matter :dry:

[eastphillyTed]

too many fucking new yorkers

[epo]

Chat room AIDS

The lack of technical know how from leadership

The lack of interest from Just Jon, even though he obviously has time for Twitter and those ridiculous RFW things that Spoon found.

Enough ads? On this page I see a top & bottom banner, two My Radio Store ads, and an Audible.com ad. With this kind of revenue, one would think some above free-ware for the chat room would be feasible.

Well, it's not. Our ad revenue has taken a pretty serious dump over the last six months. Sorry, just trying to keep a free website afloat.

That and that.

I also don't like that I technically get lumped in as being "power-hungry," but I never get to actually abuse my faux-powers. Just once I want to go on a rampage and purge all the shitheads that I want to kick in the balls. Of course, that would basically only leave me and like a dozen other people...but it would be glorious.

I respect Gvac's love for the show. His devotion to the show is unquestioned. And I understand his longing for what this board may have used to be. Although i've been listening since WNEW, I'm relatively new to the board, so i dont know what that exactly means.

So there may be some more non-show related threads than in the past?

The board, like the show, evolves.

For better or for worse.

Just kinda sounds like a big fish whose little pond has gotten bigger.

I've been BEGGING for newer, younger moderators to be appointed. We've had some of the same ones for over 5 years now.

It's absurd.

I never accused you of persecuting me.

I just said you shouldn't base your judgments by how much of an outcry there is for something.

I already do what I think is best. I've never treated this kind of thing as a threat. It just gets exhausting to reiterate over and over again. It's not about not being able to take criticism or suggestions. You can admit there is at least one instance where you made a suggestion, we agreed with it and we implemented it.

I have attempted to listen to your suggestions, and I think I have been civil in the process. Yes, it gets tiring when it seems like you are constantly complaining, but I really don't get the part where you are labeled a "threat".

Did you see my grievance on the previous page concerning bannings?

Yes. I don't know who you're referring to that got banned. When I ban someone, I always try to give a reason, even with the spammers. Last time I looked at the ban list, most people banned had reasons for bans listed. As for a notice of who banned you, I don't even know if vbulletin is set up to do that.As it is, people who are new to the site always assume I banned them. People who have been here a while always assume Hottub banned them.

I haven't cast a single vote, but if you were nominated, I'd break my cherry for you :wub:

My good buddy JayMoron got banned for no reason. I don't think he'd even posted yet.

That was the message he got when he tried to sign on.

It was a joke banning. The moderator and bannee knew each other and were both in on the joke. It's not nearly as nefarious as you seem to be making it out to be.

way to dodge the question, but what if a new member had seen that without knowing the joke and said to themself this ismt the place for me?

is that really the message to send that you can be banned here by breaking the rules or on the whim of a mod unfortunately perception is usually reality

I think anyone could tell it was a goof. It wasn't treated seriously in the least.

Also, I didn't dodge any question. I answered yours. You said what if "that person" left. You didn't say anything about a new person witnessing the banning.

if anyone could tell why was there about ten to fifteen posts in the why was he banned thread expressing outrage about the banning

[mikeyboy]

Because people saw that he was banned and were asking why. That is the whole purpose behind that thread. When the reason was explained, I think people understood it was a goof.

[Marc with a c]

mikey you should give the site to gvac for some mufflers and a carburetor.

Then this place would have been a ghost town by now.

[PapaBear]

The way I understand it, there is nothing mods can do about that. It's a problem with the chat server that RF.net uses. I don't know why it's the one they use. Probably a financial thing I guess.

Where did I say I don't act like a jerk?

I'm simply pointing out that it's hypocritical of you to act concerned over what new members encounter given how you angrily you attack people left and right over their opinions in full view of these impressionable new posters you think are going to flee at the drop of a hat.

And can we stop with the "power" talk? We're the staff of a free message board...we have no power.

[Gvac]

And can we stop with the "power" talk? We're the staff of a free message board...we have no power.

Well, you do have certain powers ordinary members don't.

You can edit or delete posts and threads, you can ban members, you can change mod quotes, etc.

That's all that we mean when we refer to "Mod powers."

[TheMojoPin]

That's not power. "Power" gets my hopes up, like we suddenly have the ability to fly or punch through cars when all I actually have is this stupid website and the jerks who populate it.

[Gvac]

Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have brought up the "power" to edit or delete posts or threads.

That one sends mikeyboy over the edge for some reason. :huh:

I think he's very tense these days.

I think it's more the idea that anyone would ever be beholden to Matty Fridays.

I've found a minor problem with the search function. When searching a thread title or post, it omits any words that are 3 letters or less in length. I was looking for the "How old are you?" poll and it wouldn't even search because all words are below the limit.

it's to prevent too big of a load on the server and the database. most non-essential words like "and" & "or" are less than 3 letters. if you searched for those terms you would probably get back almost every thread ever posted. If you need to do a search with a 3 letter word use google and type "site:ronfez.net" after your search terms.

If everyone responded to every PM they ever got, every conversation would go on to infinity. At some point there is a stopping point.

Maybe from now on, if I get a PM from you that doesn't necessarily need a response, I'll still respond with "Oh, Gvac. You're such a card!"

And what of the iPods?

How about a cassette Walkman with no fast forward button?

Perhaps you're uncomfortable with adult conversation? Maybe you've been hanging around your children too long. While I find it admirable that you're attempting to be a good father, it's also important that you don't lose your skills in dealing with grown ups.

So because I only responded to 3 of 4 of your PMs to me yesterday, I am somehow incapable of adult conversation? I'll give you credit. Just when your gimmick seems to gets old, you bring it somewhere new. What this lacks in logic is made up for in its originality.

I give it a 6.5.
