Music discussion does get a little full of press release stuff straight from pr companies.

Maybe it is best to put these in their own section. And allow members to create topics still in up and coming stuff in music discussion.

Thoughts?

I think it's a good idea
Because those pr companies only sign up to create those topics instead of getting into the discussion

that's a good idea but write in the rules of that section that we are free to contact them about interviews and prizes

Maybe we should create a group, so we can create a hidden section for them to leave contact details to run competitions, etc.

that's indeed a great one....

could be a great option to advertise ourselves

I think we should flush them out altogether.

The reason I say that is that they sign up to EVERY forum and post the identical material. They don't contribute to general discusssions. They log in, post their stuff, and leave until they have more press to post.

I wouldn't even give them the luxury of their own section. They add nothing to the forum and I don't think we could benefit from it to be honest.

Its an interesting opinion. Kind of agree, however we have also got comps out of it, and for example i have received the avb asot 2008 album to review. So could have its advantages.

true


another point: didn't have the old "new releases" forum contain all the "press" stuff?


we can contact them as soon as we want about competitions etc.

since we have one....

it's working fine



it's pretty easy moving some items to there

one little thing i think we can do to improve it: move the pr items from non music discussions to music discussions as most of the stuff is music related

it is in music discussion :s

errrrrr.....
