Brian Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Some of you folks you know Kevan from Jemsite and as you know I asked him to be a moderator a long time ago because I happen to trust not only his judgement but also his attitude. He has just been promoted to Administative level and has my FULL permission to go in and do what ever it takes to keep things nice and pleasent around here for the rest of us. Don't come cryin to me if you screw up in the wrong section dissin somebody or breakin a rule and he scalds you for it or suspends you. Trust me you don't want to see his bad side aimed at you (it's very entertaining to the rest of us though). Plus he corrects my spelling Link to comment

bowser Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 excellent, i say! does that mean that he should be the admin from hell now? Link to comment
Kevan Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Ok folks. First off, thanks to Brian for many great years as a friend, and a major supporter of Jemfest. The admin thing is not as cake as it sounds (just ask Brian), so I know he's glad to get the help. Brian and I have talked about this for the last few months, and now it's happening. He and I are going to do some 'house cleaning' here. We're going to get this Forum a little cleaner, and more 'professional' so it can further gain the respect it deserves in the guitar community, and so we can help out more folks with projects just like yourselves. You'll notice that the Rant Section is now set to 'Read Only'. It's going to stay that way until further notice. For now, the Off-Topics section will remain open. But, as always, KEEP THE LANGUAGE CLEAN, and try not to waste too much bandwidth with silly topics. It's appreciated. We're folks who work on guitars (and basses, and amps) here. Let's show the rest of the internet how it's done. Thanks everyone. Link to comment
Drak Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 I underestimated a dark clown once. I still have the nightmares. Link to comment
litchfield Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Yay, I got the last post in the slam thread. Whoo freakin hoo. I am pretty skeptical about this, and honestly hope more professional means banning whiney little kids when they tell the advanced members, VIPs, Mods, and GOTM winners that they are all full of crap.

litchfield Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Not to mention openly rejecting sound advice, and posting their own psuedo theories as if they were fact. It really irks me when that happens, and then the experience people are bad guys for pointing it out without sugar coating. Link to comment
Drak Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 adcvanced That means the ones who can spell. You're outta here! I am pretty skeptical about this, and honestly hope more professional means banning whiney little kids when they tell the adcvanced members, VIPs, Mods, and GOTM winners that they are all full of crap. You're whining already. You're outta here double-time! Link to comment

Kevan Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 We'll work on a full list of updates and changes, but here's a quick one that the veteran members can help us with. Signatures: Your signature is to be text only. Pics/banners are big bandwitdth hogs, and take up a lot of "screen real estate". When you're searching for the metric screw size of Wilkinson saddle screws, you don't want to have to scroll for days. So, for now...here's how it works: Text only signatures. 2 lines max. You may have a non-business link in your signature. You may have a business link in your signature if you are a site sponsor (as determined by Brian). We'll give everyone until the end of the month (19 days) to get their new signature situated. As of Sept. 1, 2004, if your signature doesn't comply with the above, we will remove the signature. Smilies: USE SOME SELF-CONTROL, PEOPLE! 25 smilies across a line is completely out of control. One works just fine. The menu is there to help you choose; not help you populate. (Drak- we'll let you slide on this one because you posted before I got this up. LOL) If you folks have questions or concerns, email me or catch me on IM and we'll discuss it. Thanks for helping out with the changes here on the Forum. It's appreciated. Link to comment

Oh really? ...and I suppose you're going to be the one to tell Sacred next Friday morning, eh? Woo-Hoo! GOTCHA! Link to comment
krazyderek Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 ....Trust me you don't want to see his bad side aimed at you (it's very entertaining to the rest of us though). hehehe Link to comment
jefm Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hey Cool.... Congrats Kev but does this mean you'll be changing your title to "admin from h***" Link to comment
krazyderek Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 is there going to be any avatar control aswell? although the hot chick's phase was cool, is it something that we should try and put away if we're going to try and clean up the whole board for a more serious look? Link to comment

litchfield Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 does this mean you'll be changing your title to "admin from h***" He has a point here. Also this thread violated what brian posted the other day here. Link to comment
bowser Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 as does lindsay, well i hope at least... Link to comment
Brian Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 New Day New Changes coming........... Part of the evolution process Link to comment
Kevan Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Oh really? ...and I suppose you're going to be the one to tell Sacred next Friday morning, eh? I'd tell my mom to chill (and even give her a 30 day vacation) if she was running 100 smilies per post. Plus, Sacred is cool and pretty smart. I'm sure she'll understand. ....Trust me you don't want to see his bad side aimed at you (it's very entertaining to the rest of us though). hehehe As DLR says in 'Sensible Shoes': "That's right...he knows, he knows!" LOL but does this mean you'll be changing your title to "admin from h***" Nah...maybe "Admin From The Hades Area". :-) is there going to be any avatar control aswell? although the hot chick's phase was cool, is it something that we should try and put away if we're going to try and clean up the whole board for a more serious look? Not sure about the avatar thing right now so it will remain (though Litch's Ace-chick freaks me out a little. LOL). We have talked about the "Specialist Titles" before, and think that might be something to implement in the very near future. I'll search for the topic where we talked about doing that.

litchfield Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 So even tho she freaks ya out she stays? Or does she need to put Gene's makeup back on? Link to comment
litchfield Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 I should get a GIF editor and have all 4 original faces flash thru Link to comment
Kevan Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 does this mean you'll be changing your title to "admin from h***" He has a point here. Also this thread violated what brian posted the other day here. For the cynical crowd, let's clarify a few things. "Clean language" means what you can say on a major television network. 'Damn' and 'Hell' are pretty much the limits. If Brian or I see or hear about a possible infraction, the person will get ONE warning, and their post will be edited. There is no second warning; only a nice break where you can read-only. Just be cool and don't make us turn on the language filter, ok? Thanks. Litch- the more attention you draw to her, the closer she is to going bye-bye. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... Link to comment
litchfield Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 (edited) so should I change the sig? Edited August 12, 2004 by litchfield Link to comment
Kevan Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 so should I change the sig? So damn, hell, bitch, god damn, are all in? If not I will edit that out, I have heard those on Cable, but dont know if they cross any bounds. Just wanting to know actual guidelines. Watch 1 hour of NBC. Take notes. Watch 1 hour of ABC. Take notes. Watch 1 hour of CBS. Take notes. Those are all the words you can use. Clear? Good. Link to comment
skibum5545 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Just to gauge how limited my free speech is (tongue in cheek, please don't castrate me mr.moderator sir... ) does the swearing rule apply in PMs? Link to comment
