SeanzaParticipantA totally understand the reason behind the no requests policy on this site as av seen alot of sites similar to this one being completely bombarded with really annoying requests like "DUZ NE1 HAV DIS ACAPELA CUZ A RELI NEED DIS" it does get annoying after about 3 times!
However, maybe acapella requests aren’t such a bad thing. For example, if someone just cannot get a grip of the D.I.Y acapella thing (like myself), it would ge nice if someone who has a bit of time on their hands to do this.
And then upload it onto the site. With the way this site is Moderated, a don’t think it will cause too much problems and if it does, then there’s always more staff to get a hold of. A know a wouldn’t mind being asked to help out, maybe am not the only one?
Have a got this completely wrong and we are allowed acapella requests or do a have a point which is worth thinking about?
Peace

SeanzaParticipantAm glad you agree Duggimon.
That’s exactly what am talking about.
If anyone breaks any kind of rule then instantly they receive a warning.
That way it keeps the discipline. So everyone’s a winner!

BelakParticipantwhy not include a chatbox/shoutbox on the portal and use it for requests??? would keep the forum clean! i know a mod for this type forum which afaik is not that difficult to implement…
Couple of things!
a) We’re not fans of shoutboxes – they are extremely vunerable to abuse
b) Your URL contains a comma at the very end thus leads to a blank page.
c) [color color=red:15iqgysq]Would YOU donate $5 every month to HAVE access to a FORUM where you HAVE the ability to REQUEST ACAPELLAS?[/color:15iqgysq]In fact – I think that I should change Prequel’s Poll..
AdSense 336x280September 27, 2006 at 10:23 am #599427
SeanzaParticipantOk, a added a poll to this post to see what the reaction is & saving people to post if they don’t want to.
Be sure to vote!

DJ ValParticipantI’d just like to say that if a request section is set up, (for free) how are we going to control that section. If anything [color color=red:200738ry]other than pellas [/color:200738ry]are requested, I say post gets deleted and member gets 2 warnings!!!!

[/quote:31ez7pcg]a) ’twas a rather spontaneous idea, guess you’re right… it’s not that easy to make it secure enough, espacially for the portal-page
b) removed it completly, it’s not necessary anymore… don’t wanna spam..
c) as downlaoding acapellas is not the main reason why i’m on this page i don’t consider it useful in my case…. but nevertheless its a good idea

SeanzaParticipant$2 or £2? Why is everything in $s rather than £s even though this is a british-based site?
A think it’s a bad idea to charge for a request.
And acapella, you totally changed ma Poll. It’s a completely different question to what mine was originally. Would be greatful if you changed it back.
Val, anything but an acapella request, in ma eyes, should be deleted from the section if the section does go ahead.
2 warnings? Bit generous considering requesting on this site is currently a complete NO-NO.
Does anyone else find it ridiculously annoying to search through your collection of acapellas to find 1 which isn’t on this site?
The section am proposing should have 2 sub-categories; Request D.I.Y., Request An Acapella To Appear On The Site.
Sorry if this post doesn’t make sense right now. Am in a rush since a finish work in 3mins. A will check back when am home. And see if it made sense or not.
Peace

SeanzaParticipantThanks for your reply devilzone, a take it ma post did make sense then? lol!
If this was to go ahead, $2 would be welcomed more than £2 as (a think) it would work out cheaper lol.
A see what your saying with regards to acapella changing the poll. However, a created the poll to see how many members thought ma idea was a good idea or not. No disrespect whatsoever to acapella btw, just want you guys & gal to understand where am comin from. A don’t wanna look like am the one who’s suggesting the charge to enter the Request section. That’s all.
$2 might not be alot to ask for but nothing else on the site seems to be a charged service with exception of the online store.
As for members reading the requests section, a would be more than happy to reply to any acapellas requested, regardless if a had the acapella or not. And as for mod’ing that section, again, a wouldn’t have any problems with helping out. A wouldn’t take liberties and ask the staff to take on any extra work as ma guess is mod’ing this site is hard work. Am pretty much on this site the most out of all the members (you just have to look at ma post count and join date to work that out lol), so it wouldn’t be a major problem for me.
This topic has expanded alot more than a thought it would. A think it’s great am getting this response!
Peace

blow = Dj SmugglaParticipantI think it’s a good idea to have a forum for acapella requests, but i was wondering why would we have to pay for it. As all other rooms on this site are free.
I know it’s only $2 but what are we paying for?
chears…
AdSense 336x280September 27, 2006 at 10:16 pm #599488
SeanzaParticipantYeah devilzone, we must be crazy lol! A think the reason behind the charge is most probably due to lack of members who donate. Am not saying anyone should donate. But a think that’s the reason why. After all, a don’t think what goes on behind the scenes is free of charge.
A understand where your coming from with the not wanting to be police bit. A think the only members who would see you guys as the police, would be newbies. After being here a while they will soon see the difference good mods make.
At the end of the day, no-matter what gets said in this discussion, only one person can make the decision. And whatever decision acapella makes, we will go along with it. Some of us may like it, others may not.
Am glad this subject is out in the open too. It’s made it easier for me to understand that Request rule.
A just wanna say that it was about why this site doesn’t allow requests, made me bring this up.
Peace

DJ LevantParticipantThe thing is if we do have a request section then everyone is going to request tracks – but who will be making them all pella’s?
It would be great to be able to get a pella of your fav track but its a tough section to get going and maintain
AdSense 336x280September 28, 2006 at 10:20 am #599517
SeanzaParticipantOK, how about asking if anyone has the acapella, or intends to make a D.I.Y acapella? Instead of asking someone to create a D.I.Y pella?
Maybe disregard ma original post and make it just to request acapellas that people might already have.
For example, "Can any please upload xxx ft. xxx – xxx (acapella)?"
How about that?
Peace

2GSParticipantIf the request service is pay you guys should either compensate the people making the DIY acapellas or go legit and compensate ASCAP/BMI/whatever music publishers take that sort of thing.
Otherwise it sounds like a good idea, I’m just not sure of its implementation.

FunkLogikParticipant[quote quote="citizen jones":2pqf3d70]this site has had a request section before – it was a nightmare…it got abused & led to much flaming/arguing. it also led to people setting up trades with each other by PM (ppl would see a request for a pella they’ve got & would offer to trade/swap – rather than upload it).
there are other sites that do have request sections……this site has survived without one & i personally think it is better for NOT having one…[/quote:2pqf3d70]Cosigned. I think a request section would be a detriment to the site.

And who is going to compensate us mods for putting so much FREE time into the site for every member

Anyways don’t worry I doubt we’d ever charge for anything of this lovely site, it’s just not like us to do such a thing.AdSense 336x280October 12, 2006 at 6:18 am #600588

[/quote:rwthec92]
I’m thinking that if someone has a pella that isnt in the database, they would’ve uploaded it already anyway (remember the bonus credits)
Hey if u are all looking for ways to spend that extra cash, dont forget the Paypal donation
