Hey Cassie I think it is something that we all are wary of. The subconscious can play such tricks very easily. I am sure pretty well every writer has either consciously or unconsciously reflected a melody or harmony or chord sequence that they heard elsewhere. I don't mean an intentional plagiarism, but their work could "be inspired by". Direct lifts we want to avoid consciously or unconsciously, and all we can do is check, check, check that our music does not do this. That is one of the great benefits of performing to a community like this... You get to sanity check your music! Cheers John

Well I can't blame our moderators, who in general do an excellent job. They know what we are trying to achieve and volunteer their time to help make it happen. It was up to me to outline policies to them effectively, and to give required training, so the buck stops with me. Ok, mistakes can happen. We are human and not infallible. Still, I know the mods very well, and I know that they genuinely only want to do the right thing for our community, for the right reasons. I know that in carrying out such censoring that they will have thought they were carrying out my wishes. Unfortunately there are many spammers and they use elaborate schemes etc to spam our boards. It can take some time to get good at spotting them. Indeed that is why about 3 months ago we introduce a new role of trainee moderator and started a moderator mentoring scheme where more experienced moderators would mentor trainees. Tina, many thanks for highlighting this. Donna, perhaps you would be so kind as to pass on my apologies to your friend? I realise it is a bit late, however it is heartfelt, and more importantly, the right thing to do. Onwards and upwards!

Wow. Interesting. I guess my concern would be just how robust it is? Other than that, excellent stuff! -
Perhaps a miscommunication with mods as that shouldn't happen. We have rules to stop other site owners or staff from spamming our community, not stopping unaffiliated members from mentioning other sites or forums, or articles found there. True it isn't always straight forward to spot all spam, but we have loads of members sharing their experiences elsewhere without censure. I am sorry that was your experience. Fair points. Partly a changing demographic, but we are really focusing on getting a lot more musicians active on the boards plus things going on that they will be interested in. Do you think it should be a song a week? What changes would you make? We are trying hard to make big changes. Some of those have been big infrastructure changes which unfortunately meant focusing on them while we sorted them out. They are now, so over the next while we should see some big site improvements happen in terms of participation and much more. Many thanks for giving the site another chance. We really are working hard to deliver the site we can all be proud to take part in.
