Least Favorite thing about Talkbass?

[DirtDog]

Threads that ask us to participate in a negative conversation?

In an era when the LAST thing we need is an excuse to say what we DON'T like, why would you even ask that?

No thanks. Enjoy your thread. It should be fun. (Sarcasm.)

Edit: This forum is ridiculously awesome. Any faults are tiny little things. The mods and admins do a fantastic job of keeping it "clean" around here.

C'mon man, don't be ridiculous.

I wish there was a way to sort the basses for sale forum by number of strings.

I don't have any other real problems, I love the clubs I'm in for the info I get, and the help people have extended to me when I'm trying to educate myself on a topic.

TB page design is not user-friendly. Unless you post often enough, it is not crystal clear how to start a post, how to do it under specific forums...

After 11 pages:

Least favorite thing?

The color scheme...instead of white and blue it should be white and tort

Too many carrots and not enough popcorn, either.

Just a general review of YOUR least favorite aspects of talkbass forum/classifieds.
There are a lot of really wonderful parts here, be it the user's interactions with each other, the ability to find your dream instrument or the vast collective knowledge of the users.
Talkbass is kind to the fledgling bassist seeking knowledge is a crucial point of admiration for this sites purpose.
So the counter is what can be better.
I have my opinions, what are yours?

It's not a critique of the board, or the way it's run, more of a critique of us, the posters.

There's tons of discussions about gear, but not as much about music, playing, and learning to play.

I like it here. I would appreciate the ability to edit/delete a stupid, nonsensical noob post after I realize the extent of my ignorance.

I feel ya there...

Ouch; between this and the Morrisey thread people seem cranky today.

Sorry two fingers, wasn't in the mindset for sarcasm (or reading) apparently!

The pathologically conflict averse moderation policies.

 

[FrenchBassQC]

That's an unusual thing. It's like they forgot they asked for help

It's not that unusual...

But... what if it's a Behringer?

No but seriously... there are 2 specific amps that i have played in rehearsal spaces and backlined at gigs that i will never own because i know they suck (neither one is a behringer, btw).

I get it. If you've gigged them, that's one thing. 10 minutes playing it in a Guitar Center is another.

Commodity fetishism as a replacement for practice.

I say just before checking in on the basses section

We don't have a fight club where we can duke it out without censure. Kind of like a thread where you have to initial an agreement where you can't complain to moderators and there is only one rule.

Put on your glow in the dark eyeshadow and have a good cry.

 

[Staccato]

New members that disappear quickly, or new members that don't share anything about their playing, or music journey.

Talkbass causes GAS.

cost me too much money after surfing here.

Overly introspective posts. Sometimes it seems like people can't even decide what to have for breakfast without getting input and opinions from the entire membership. But really, that's just a nit. Because what really bugs me lately is this...

mine: reduced editing window time.

I'm always reading back something I posted later only to find a misspelled word or grammatical error that just makes me look illiterate. I used to fix those, now I can't. Really bugs me.

the moral superiority

Unless, like me, you are indeed morally superior.

(I'll probably want to edit/correct this post later, but I won't be able to. )
